BitDefender Security for Mail Servers

BitDefender
Security for Mail Servers
Comprehensive protection for Windows and UNIX based Mail Servers
Designed for mail servers running on Windows
or UNIX-based platforms, BitDefender Security
for Mail Servers combines advanced
antivirus technlogies with content
and antispam filters to provide safe mail traffic
for companies and Service Providers.
The product is compatible with the majority of
existing e-mail platforms.
BitDefender advanced technologies:
Key Benefits:
•Increased productivity;
•Reduced mail traffic;
•Increased mail security based on product’s excellent
response time;
•Ease of use.
Key Features:
•Superior antivirus protection;
•Multiple layers of anti-spam filtering;
•Detailed reports and statistics;
•Intuitive program interface.
At the core of all BitDefender products is
B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer
in Virtual Environments). In addition to traditional signature
detection and content-based heuristic methods, B-HAVE
implements behavior-based heuristics. By emulating a virtual
computer-inside-a-computer where pieces of software are
run and checked for potential malicious behavior, B-HAVE
virtually eliminates false positives and significantly increases
detection rates for new and unknown malware. This proprietary
BitDefender technology represents a new security layer that
keeps the operating system safe from unknown viruses by
detecting malicious pieces of code for which signatures have
not yet been released.
Certified Antivirus Engines
BitDefender’s award winning scan engines featuring the B-HAVE
technology have been recognized by leading certification bodies
to provide the most proactive antivirus protection available.
The BitDefender Antivirus scan engines are certified by ICSA
Labs, Virus Bulletin and Checkmark.

UNIX-Based Platforms Core Functionalities
MTA Integration System
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers offers dedicated agents for
several of the most popular mail transfer agents (Sendmail, Courier, qmail and CommuniGate Pro). Due to its SMTP proxy agent,
the product can be used with other MTAs (such asExim or Dmail)
as well, or when the filtering process is done separately from the
running Mail Server. The SMTP proxy agent also gives access to
features such as connection count limiting, trusted networks and
relay domain limitations.
NeuNet Spam Filter
In order to better deal with new spam, the BitDefender Lab has
created the Neural Network (NeuNet) filter which will identify new
spam based on the similarity (very subtle, at times) between new
messages and the ones the filter was pre-trained on.
Configurable Antispam Filter Sensitivity
The administrator can adapt the antispam filter’s sensitivity by setting very demanding or relaxed thresholds for each group of users.
User and Group Management
Besides a generic set of rules for the entire mail traffic, administrators will be able to configure different antivirus and antispam
actions for each group of users so that large companies and ISPs
are provided with scalable and flexible protection.
SNMP Support
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers works with SNMP-based
monitoring and management systems. The SNMP Logger plug-in
can send virus and administration alerts to three different hosts.
The SNMP Daemon Plug-in allows performing product management actions such as triggering the update process or restarting
the product.
Increased Usability
Intuitive Management Interface
BitDefender Remote Admin
Highly Efficient Antispam Filters
Each message is analyzed on-the-fly by the central dispatcher,
which then decides (based on the message characteristics) which
of the product’s 7 powerful filters to use. When the dispatcher has
built enough confidence, it labels the message as spam, phishing
or legitimate.
WBL (White List/ Blacklist) Support
This management tool for UNIX-based product helps remotely configure any settings in a single interface and check the current status of the product (detailed statistics and update information).
BDSAFE (The BitDefender Swiss Army KniFE)
This management tool is the command line interface which allows
performing post-install configuration and administration tasks.
Compatibility and Flexibility
The administrator can set a list of trusted and untrusted addresses
based on which to respectively “always accept” or “always reject” mail.
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers is flexible and configurable
up to its smallest detail. It fully complies with FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) and its Rpm, deb and generic .tar.run packages
ensure its compatibility with all major UNIX-based products. Proactive Phishing Detection
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers uses anti-phishing technology to detect illegal attempts to copy the “look and feel” of
authentic messages, as well as the disguises and the forgeries
used to persuade the user to send confidential data to a particular
recipient.
Reports and Statistics
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers can send customizable e-mail
notifications or SNMP alerts about its activity: number of scanned,
disinfected, deleted, infected or filtered files. The statistics module
displays information about current and past activity in a convenient
rrd- based graph or chart format
Windows- Based Platforms Core Functionalities
IP Match
E-mails with spoofed headers no longer fool the White List filter because each e-mail domain is matched to a particular IP address so that messages with non- matching IP addresses are rejected.
Antispam Heuristic Analysis Technology
The heuristic filter performs a set of tests on all message components,
(i.e. not only the header, but also the message body in either HTML or text
format), looking for words, phrases or links which are common to spam.
WBL (White List/ Blacklist) Support
The administrator can set a list of trusted and untrusted addresses based
on which to respectively “always accept” or “always reject” mail.
Increased Usability
Instant Warning Messages
If a virus is detected, detailed warning messages are instantaneously sent to the network security and management staff.
Remote Management
Server protection can be remotely configured by simply installing
the management console on one computer inside the network.
Centralized Management
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers is compatible with
BitDefender Enterprise Manager, allowing organizations to
centrally manage antivirus protection and security policies inside complex networks.
Content Filtering
The product filters and blocks messages by subject line, message body,
attachment, sender or recipient. Filtering rules within the database can
be modified and saved as default by the IT manager at any time, according to the necessary security policies.
Optimized Scanning
The scanning of multiple recipient e-mails is done only once, before
delivery, instead of being repeated for each separate recipient.
Secures Infected or Suspected Files
Infected or suspected files are isolated in quarantine zones, the content
of which can be analyzed at any time by the IT manager or can be sent
for analysis to the BitDefender Antivirus Lab.
Detailed Reports and Statistics
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers comes with a separate
report module which provides daily, weekly or monthly statistics, organized by categories, which can be generated and
viewed in the administration console.
