M+Guardian

M+Guardian is an email messaging security solution that intelligently filters and blocks inbound and outbound email according to people’s roles and responsibilities within the organization to enforce corporate usage policies, while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of managing email risk.

HIGH PERFORMING: Integrates leading anti-virus, anti-spam, content filtering, and attachment blocking technologies, with true application clustering and load balancing to ensure maximum system performance and 24/7 protection.

POLICY-BASED SECURITY: Accurately filters and blocks email based on people’s identities and roles within the company to meet compliance requirements. Policies can be customized or pre-configured at the organization, group, or user level.

INTELLIGENT MULTI-LAYERED APPROACH TO SECURITY: Inspects incoming and outgoing email messages and automatically eliminates spam, viruses, and unwanted content from your email environment. But it also defends your organization against email harvesting or other attacks that could cripple your email servers. Layered engines analyze email messages in-depth without requiring tedious filter management or any end-user administration.

IDENTITY-DRIVEN: M+Guardian is 100% directory enabled. All configuration options are role-based and stored in an LDAP directory which offers full interoperability with Active Directory and OpenLDAP. This also means the system benefits from advanced directory services such as replication and automatic backup. Future versions will include policy drivers for Identity Manager.

FULLY EXTENSIBLE: Scales effortlessly across your enterprise, regardless of number of users and email volume, to minimize the cost and complexity of securing email.

UPGRADEABLE: Can be combined with other M+Platform products for a comprehensive email risk management strategy that bridges security and compliance gaps.
