E-mail is the most widely used computer communication system in the workplace. Messages are sent to a mailbox, making it an asynchronous communication tool ( it does not imply that sender and recipient are simultaneously online), is therefore essential for companies and public administrations. Unfortunately, for these characteristics, it is also the tool par excellence used to generate spam campaigns, phishing activities and transmission of malware and computer viruses.

SIMPLE PROTECTION

To counter these activities there is the right service. For companies that already have an active mail server, the solution proposed by HyperGrid is Mail Outpost. This service can be seamlessly integrated with the company’s email servers and has security options such as SPF that verifies the integrity of sender addresses, blocking them in case of problems. Mail Outpost is able to check emails and attachments in real time before they arrive in employees’ inboxes avoiding any problems. In addition to providing maximum protection, it can improve the functioning of mail in the company by automatically eliminating emails containing malware and spam, reducing the workload of the servers. The service supports Transport Layer Security (TLS), an Internet protocol that encrypts emails to ensure privacy and secure delivery.

Mail Outpost is managed and monitored directly by the HyperGrid SOC, which analyzes email messages and their attachments in real time, allowing precise control of information in transit. Verification reduces the volume of unwanted messages before they enter the corporate network. Spam mail is classified using rules related to the behavior of each individual user and verifying in real time the central HyperGrid database for message validation.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

With the Mail Outpost service, the IT administrator does not have to purchase new hardware to improve the performance of e-mail servers because the increase in message traffic is stemmed by monitoring and possibly blocking junk e-mail.
