Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server is the only leading e-mail protection product that offers multiple scanning engines in a single solution. Multiple engine scanning is important because even though virtually every business (97 percent) has antivirus and firewall protection, half of them (50 percent) experienced virus infections (CSI/FBI 2008 Survey). That’s because when new threats are discovered, the time it takes for scan engine vendors to release antivirus signatures to detect them varies greatly—in some cases by days or weeks!
Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server engine set is proven to promote faster detection rates of new threats than single-engine solutions (AV-Test.org). Administrators can run up to five scan engines simultaneously and in different combinations at Edge, Hub, and Mailbox servers.
Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server builds on the basic antispam functionality included in Exchange 2010 and 2007 to provide a 99 percent detection rate with less than 1 in 250,000 false positives (West Coast Labs). Its premium antispam technologies include a Forefront DNS block list aggregated from multiple providers, anti-backspatter protocol filtering, and integration of the Cloudmark content filtering engine.
Keyword filtering in Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server prevents the upload or download of out-of-policy content,from confidential files to inappropriate language, thereby helping to reduce company liability. Administrators can configure keyword filters to scan within most Office documents as well as use pre-defined rules to automatically block profane and discriminatory terms in e-mail.
The diversity of antivirus engines protects against a single point of failure. Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Servermanages these engines so that if one engine fails or goes offline to update, other engines continue to protect the IT environment without slowing mail delivery.
