Customers across the organizations always need to tackle the same daunting challenge concerning increasing message volumes and email threats that are continuously evolving. Email protection and accessibility are two critical priorities for most business email systems. Cloud email security solutions can ensure superior protection and control, reduce cost and deliver convenience of cloud deployment. Developed on industry leading technology, a superior cloud email security service can completely deactivate any emerging security threat to the mail system.

A dedicated cloud email security service has multiple state of the art data centers to ensure optimum service availability and highest standard in data protection. It also allows customers to enjoy optimum accessibility to cloud infrastructure, and ensures message tracking reporting. These solutions ensure optimum administrative flexibility as well. A top notch cloud email security service comes packed with software, cloud computing power and full support.

Cloud Email Security Service - Different Safety Features to Consider in ItThe email security threats have become more sophisticated consisting not only viruses, spam and known range of malware threats but also an array of innovative attacks that comprise of false positives, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, phishing and stealthy spywares. By evaluating these threats from time to time and by updating the threat protection mechanism repeatedly and frequently, a cloud email security service can ensure blocking of threats and assuring approval of only legitimate messages for receipt by the mail system.

Let us have quick look at the different safety features of cloud email security service.

Proven Spam Protection

A state of the art cloud email security technology is capable of denying access to undesirable email messages by using scanning architecture that works across different layers. A cloud email security service should deliver optimum catch rate for spam, making spam threats almost impossible to penetrate in the mail system.

The outside layer of spam protection should be able to assess and evaluate the real time email traffic threat and monitor as well as identify all email senders with suspicious and malicious contents and links.

The anti spam engine on the other hand, should verify and scan the contextual relevance of a message besides scanning the message content, the sender profile of the message and the included links in the message. Such an all inclusive approach can nullify any spam threat in its track.

Sophisticated defense against virus

Cloud email protection solution also comes loaded with a sophisticated anti virus scanning solution with multilayered and multi-source approach in filtering virus threats. Also a comprehensive initial preventive defense layer can take immediate precautions against new virus outbreaks much before other anti-virus mechanisms can detect it.

Advanced line of controls

Besides ensuring optimum security standard, a sophisticated cloud email security solution offers a wide range of advanced controls, ranging from email authentication measures to various verification protocols and sender policy framework.  Together, these advanced control mechanisms help in making the mail system more intelligent and equipped for more accurate and prompt decisions.

•  A sender policy framework in a cloud email protection system assures proper verification and authentication to ensure that email messages are processed maintaining proper security protocols while being sent by email senders and received by the recipients.

•  The bounced mails are identified separately to take appropriate action.

•  It also helps in tracking spammers and blocking stealthy attempts to access email directory information.

•  Advanced grade malware protection in cloud email security service takes all measures to evaluate, analyze, prevent and block active threats.

Advanced outbound filtering

Outbound mails often become big targets to fetch mail system information by malware. An advanced and sophisticated outbound filtering ensures protection from such threats.

•  With outbound email filtering additional safeguards to messages are incorporated and the sensitive mail system information is protected.

•  With content filtering passing of sensitive or confidential information through the mail system can be prevented.

•  A thorough mail transport security using digital certificates can help authenticating users and network.

Administrative ease and control

Accessing the typical security measures and customizing them as per evolving need of the customers is a prominent feature of any sophisticated email security solution. A comprehensive and robust reporting system should help in integrating reports while analyzing traffic data from diverse locations and infrastructure. Access to wide volume of networks from around the world is critical here.

Finally, it is the message tracking that offers customers real time access and visibility to messages, content and sender information and is associated with evaluation. Such real time prompt reporting feature can help resolving threats and taking appropriate measures by making desk calls as soon as any such threat is visible. The flexible and tracking interface can further help in evaluating and tracking messages faster.
