VIPRE Email Security - Features

• Includes MC-Virtualisation: The MX-V technology used by VIPRE reduces reliance upon basic signatures in favor of a more thorough analysis of behavioral characteristics, to protect against zero-day attacks.
• Server-based Disclaimer Functionality: Administrators have the ability to configure policy-based disclaimers based on specific users, groups, domains, or public folders. User-based disclaimers enable users to adjust their disclaimer statements according to a specific user or department.
• Unique and Powerful SMART Attachment Filtering: VIPRE's Suspicious Mail Attachment Removal Technology (SMART) is the first policy-based attachment filter that filters all attachments based on email direction inbound, outbound or within the organisation.
• Policy-based Plug-in Management: VIPRE's plugin architecture was designed with flexibility and extendability in mind. That way you get a robust messaging framework that enables you to manage your entire messaging security. You can create customisable policies utilising VIPRE's integrated plug-in management.

With multiple spam and virus scanning engines, you automatically receive higher detection rates and a more accurate response to the messaging threats that attempt to enter your network.
• Sorts Automatically to User's Quarantine Folder: For its antispam plug-in, VIPRE for Exchange utilises multiple detection capabilities including RBL technology and the award-winning Cloudmark spam engine.
