BitDefender Security for Mail Servers

BitDefender
Security for Mail Servers
Comprehensive antimalware protection for Windows and UNIX based Mail Servers
Designed for mail servers running on Windows or
UNIX-based platforms, BitDefender Security for Mail
Servers brings together antivirus, antispyware,
antispam, antiphishing, content and attachment
filtering engines that secure the mail traffic of
companies and Service Providers.
Compatible with the majority of existing e-mail
platforms, the product offers reliable protection
against newly emerging malware and against
attempts to steal confidential and valuable data.
BitDefender advanced technologies:

All BitDefender products include B-HAVE, a
patent pending technology which analyzes
the behavior of potentially malicious codes, inside a virtual
computer, eliminating false positives and significantly increasing detection rates for new and unknown malware.
Image Spam Filter
BitDefender offers a more accurate image filter which, instead of
analyzing the text within image spam messages, learns the common characteristics of those images in point of color content and
proportions. The result: less false positives and lower spam traffic.
To better deal with new spam, the BitDefender
Lab has created NeuNet, a powerful antispam
filter. Inside the Antispam Lab, NeuNet is pre-trained on a series of
spam messages so that it learns to recognize new spam by perceiving its similarities with the messages it has already examined.
Certified Antivirus Engines
BitDefender’s award winning scan engines featuring the
B-HAVE technology have been recognized to provide the most
proactive antivirus protection available 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.
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
The administrator can set a list of trusted and untrusted addresses
based on which to respectively “always accept” or “always reject” mail.
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.
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 manage-
ment actions such as triggering the update process or restarting
the product.
Increased Usability
Intuitive Management Interface
BitDefender Remote Admin
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
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. 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.
Different Actions Adapted to Malware Type
New
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers detects potentially harmful applications, other than viruses, and creates a separate
“Riskware”category with which only certain administrator-defined
usergroups are allowed to work. A “Suspected” category is also
dedicated to files that the engines only presume to be infected.
Pipe to Program Action
New
By using the built-in “Pipe to program” action, server administrators are allowed to feed objects detected by the BitDefender engines to scripts or other programs.
Improved Quarantine
New
The administrator can now define more than one quarantine area,
searchable based on regular expressions, sender, recipient, date
and cause for quarantine. A “restore” option has also been added
to make sure the user can recuperate the data, if necessary.
Windows-Based Platforms Core Functionalities
Protects More Mail Servers
Spyware Protection
NEW
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers can act as a multiple mail server
proxy through inter¬faces capable of filtering the traffic routed to different mail servers. Due to its SMTP proxy agent, the product is compatible with the majority of existing e-mail platforms and it offers access to
features such as connection count limiting, trusted networks and relay
domain limitations.
NEW
A comprehensive signature database and heuristic spyware
detection help protect against spyware and avoid the theft of
confidential and valuable data.
Blocks Directory Harvesting Attacks
The Directory Harvesting filter protects against attempts to
steal valid mail addresses from the mail server.
Real-time Blackhole List Filter
Blocks Infected Messages
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers fights e-mail-borne malware by
filtering and blocking messages that carry a virus, spyware, trojan, backdoor or other potentially dangerous active codes.
NEW
The RBL filter identifies spam based on mail servers’ reputation as spam senders.
Bayesian Antispam Filter
NEW
Users can train the Bayesian Filter to identify spam by allowing it to learn to discern between spam and legit mail based
on specific examples from their mailboxes. Configurable Antispam Filter Sensitivity
The administrator can adapt the antispam filter’s sensitivity
by setting very demanding or relaxed thresholds for each user
group.
User and Group Policies
NEW
Antivirus, antispam, content and attachment filtering policies
can be defined for different users and groups, allowing system
adminis¬trators to filter mail traffic in a more flexible manner.
Increased Usability
Reports and Statistics
Highly Efficient Antispam Filtering
NEW
Connection and protocol filters such as the Allow/Deny IP List and
Sender Black List are just two instances of the product’s multi-layered
antispam protection system. E- mails that pass first level filters undergo
content analysis at the central dispatcher, which decides what product
filters to use so as to accurately classify messages as spam, phishing
or legitimate.
Proactive Phishing Detection
NEW
The anti-phishing technology detects illegal attempts to copy the “look
and feel” of authentic messages intended to trick the user into sending
confidential data to a particular recipient.
NEW
A comprehensive database related to the product’s activity
allows generating detailed statistics and reports to help the
system administrator monitor the mail server.
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 Exchange is compatible with BitDefender Enterprise Manager, allowing organizations to centrally
manage antivirus protection and security policies inside complex networks.

they become available instead of waiting for the next scheduled
update, further reducing the threat presented by new viruses.
