Outbound Email Filtering
Internet service providers are continually at high risk of having their mail servers blacklisted based on the knowing or unknowing actions of their customers, and as a result they can spend significant time trying to ensure the deliverability of outbound messages.
This scenario is true not only with traditional Internet access providers but also with the new generation of wireless hotspots, hotels, airports, and other locations that provide an Internet connection. These providers are continually exposed to the potential consequences of a deliberate spammer gaining access to their network, or more commonly, to a customer whose computer is infected by a virus or spyware and is used to propagate junk mail or viruses, unbeknownst to that customer.
Katharion eliminates this threat. By acting as a gateway through which all outbound messages are scanned, Katharion uses a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to analyzing messages, including multiple virus engines updated every five minutes, to detect inappropriate outbound emails.
In addition to blocking these threats before they cause any damage, Katharion also can rapidly alert administrators of any infected workstations or 'zombie' machines, allowing those systems to be taken off-line and handled appropriately.
By preventing spam or viruses from being sent from the service provider’s network, Katharion helps protect the organization’s systems and reputation, and improves the overall deliverability of outbound email -- since even a single unmitigated incident can result in a blacklisting or a significant degradation in the reputation of the provider's IP addresses or network.
In addition, Katharion's integrated reporting capabilities provide administrators with a full audit trail of messages sent - providing additional tools to help service providers decrease the support costs associated with managing their email systems.
