Security vendor SonicWall has introduced SonicWall Email Security 9.0, its next-generation email security platform. Integrating with the company’s Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Service, SonicWall Email Security 9.0 now delivers a cloud-based, multi-engine sandbox that not only inspects email traffic for suspicious code, but also blocks malicious files from entering the network until a verdict is reached.
Additional features of the solution include:
- Advanced Threat Protection –†Email Security 9.0 incorporates anti-spam, anti-virus, and anti-spoofing functionalities to not only detect and prevent spam and other unwanted email, but also scan email messages and attachments for ransomware, Trojan horses, worms and other types of malicious content.
- Improved Office 365 Support – Office 365 customers can enhance their security by enabling SonicWall Hosted Email Security protection.
- Encryption Protection – In addition to supporting SMTP Authentication, the encryption service feature enables any email identified as containing protected data to be automatically encrypted, routed for approval or archived.
- Policy and Compliance Management – The policy management feature enables an administrator to enact policies that filter messages and their contents as they enter or exit the organization. This allows organizations to meet regulatory requirements based on government legislation, industry standards, or corporate governance activities.
SonicWall also unveiled a preview of SonicOS 6.2.7 operating system which adds deep packet inspection of SSH, biometric authenticiation, a new threat Application Program Interface (API), and extended Dell X-series integration.
SonicWall Email Security 9.0 with Capture ATP Service will be available worldwide on February 28, 2017. SonicOS 6.2.7 is currently in beta and will be generally available for download via MySonicWall.com to partners and customers in late Q1.
