Read the very positive review (VIPRE for Exchange was then called Ninja) here!
"With VIPRE for Exchange I can block inbound zips from the outside only, or if I want, inbound exes from the outside only... by policy! No other email security product allowed me to do that. And VIPRE for Exchange is already VERY helpful in quarantining the attachments that have always gotten past us before" - G.K., System Administrator
Very Low Overhead - Improved Reliability
VIPRE's new advanced framework integrates smoothly and perfectly with Exchange and will not drain resources. You can run this on practically any Exchange server and you will not feel the pain. The code is highly optimized for low CPU and disk access resources. Sunbelt is a Gold Certified Microsoft Developer and the VIPRE for Exchange code was developed with consulting from Microsoft. Having just one product that 'does it all' on your exchange server improves reliability.
Takes HALF the time to administer & lower cost per user
To understand organizations' perceptions about various email management systems, Sunbelt Software engaged Osterman Research to survey organizations that are using five different email management systems. The resulting white paper presents the findings of that survey, comparing Sunbelt Software's VIPRE for Exchange with an average of the other four systems. Read this white paper to see how the research has demonstrated that VIPRE for Exchange is rated very highly by users relative to other email management products with which it competes and can be managed at a lower cost per user than other email management systems.
Provides a layered security approach
VIPRE for Exchange gives you several security layers for message inspection, cleansing and management. By using multiple scanning engines for both spam and viruses, while integrating other messaging security rules, all treatment of messages occurs at the server, not at your end-user's workstation – no client software needed, and all modules play nice together. VIPRE for Exchange is the powerful combination of 'best-of-breed' and 'all-in-one'!
Includes MX-Virtualization
MX-Virtualization, or MX-V, technology, which is integrated directly into VIPRE for Exchange, provides a compact and high-speed virtualized Windows environment for the rapid execution and analysis of potential malware. 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. The MX-V technology is one element of VIPRE that no other competing product on the market has yet to offer. What is amazing is that the performance impact on the Exchange Server is virtually unnoticeable; MX-V uses so little computing power that the admin isn't even aware it's running.
Server-based disclaimer functionality
VIPRE's new disclaimer plug-in delivers functionality to include global and user-based disclaimers for all outbound email for Exchange 2003 and 2007. 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. VIPRE for Exchange also prevents multiple disclaimers when replying or forwarding and gives administrators the ability to allow users to bypass the disclaimer on a per email basis.
Additionally, disclaimer templates are included to allow easy set up of disclaimers using HTML or plain text. Template samples include legal disclaimers, virus warning disclaimers, copyright disclaimers, and more. New reports are also available that provide detailed information on the use of disclaimers within the organization.
Unique and Powerful SMART™ Attachment Filtering
Unlike legacy security products that filter at the gateway, 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 organization. Additionally, it actually scans the header of many types of files to determine their true identity, as opposed to just relying on file extensions.
This means that simply renaming a ".exe" file to a ".txt" will not fool the VIPRE for Exchange attachment filter and functions as an important zero-day attack protection. It is policy-based so Admins can create different settings for users and groups of users so you have a 100% detection and removal of possible malicious attachments while at the same time allowing policy level exceptions for outbound and internal traffic. The antivirus and attachment filtering plug-ins together are highly effective, with extremely low overhead.
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 customizable policies utilizing VIPRE's integrated plug-in management.
VIPRE for Exchange supports plug-ins for antispam/anti-phishing, antivirus, and attachment filtering. The messaging security framework is built to accommodate the integration of additional plug-ins in the future such as content filtering, content auditing, and more. The current protection engines are:
* Antispam Software: Multi-engine support, provided by Cloudmark and Sunbelt (integrated anti-phishing) * Antivirus Software: Multi-engine support, anti-malware engines provided by Authentium and VIPRE * Attachment Filtering: Sunbelt proprietary filtering engine with an advanced method (directional and source level control) of filtering attachments at a granular level
With extensive policy creation capabilities, you can create custom policies for groups of users or a single user using Active Directory. You can set parameters based on user and/or organizational requirements. If you wish, you can simply associate all users with VIPRE's default plug-in polices and have a powerful messaging protection solution in place in just a few minutes. Or, you can create separate policy templates for different groups or individuals. And, you don't have to set up and maintain lists of blocked IP addresses and constantly create all sorts of custom rules. You have the flexibility to fine tune the aggressiveness of detection for all messaging plug-ins.
Fast deployment in Exchange 2003 and 2007 environments
VIPRE's management console enables you to install, configure and manage your full messaging security from one central location. Designed as an MMC snap-in, deployment is simple with a minimum of configuration effort needed. VIPRE for Exchange seamlessly integrates with Microsoft's platform and provides spam, phishing, virus, file attachment and malware protection. Additionally, VIPRE for Exchange makes it easy to create policies across multiple messaging plug-ins with its MMC interface.
Multiple scanning engines for higher detection and protection.
VIPRE is designed to meet both the antispam/anti-phishing and virus protection needs of your organization. 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. As an integrated email content checking, antivirus solution and antispam software, VIPRE for Exchange not only scans and eliminates viruses and other dangerous message content, but also filters attachments at the Exchange server, before they reach your users.
Sorts automatically to user's quarantine folder
For its antispam plug-in, VIPRE for Exchange utilizes multiple detection capabilities including RBL technology and the award-winning Cloudmark spam engine. This plug-in delivers superior spam detection using heuristic functionality with signature lookup capabilities. VIPRE for Exchange can be configured to delete, quarantine, add Subject line identification, or send to a custom quarantine folder in the end user's Exchange mailbox.
Custom rules capabilities gives you the ability to control spam and any other kind of email. You can supplement the spam detection engine with a variety of rules created on a number of email message properties (such as body, sender IP, header, or subject).
With the ability to strip HTML content prior to scanning, as well as an option to add cumulative points for words or phrases that appear multiple times in a single message, you can control how email is scored based on your custom rule selections.
Supports Sender Policy Framework and 'Auto-whitelisting'
With the increasing number of phishing attacks, identifying legitimate email addresses from spoofed addresses is important. Using the SPF, users are able to test whether a specific email originated from its claimed domain. VIPRE for Exchange allows users to participate in SPF, helping reduce the risk of phishing and fraudulent email. Auto-whitelist functionality automatically adds outgoing mail recipients. This greatly reduces false positives. Unlike other products that have just a single block and allow list for the server, VIPRE for Exchange has individual block and allow list for each user.
Aggressive virus detection and elimination.
VIPRE for Exchange uses multiple industrial strength antivirus engines to scan inbound and outbound email. With two antivirus plug-ins included, you dramatically reduce your chances of infection. You can set scanning parameters at the policy level including per-policy scanning that allows you to disinfect and/or quarantine pieces of an email, essentially breaking apart the email message and only quarantining infected files instead of stripping all attachments. You can also allow for quarantine and unquarantine actions at the policy level and set per-policy notifications to other key contacts within your organization. Additionally, both sender and receiver notifications can be set for any viral activity detected.
With this layered approach, VIPRE for Exchange not only quarantines and cleans viruses but also blocks potentially hazardous file attachments and looks for common virus signatures during the scanning process including inspection within compressed files such as RAR and ZIP files within emails. VIPRE for Exchange automatically checks for updates to the virus definition files ensuring the best possible virus protection.
Email and attachment filtering on a per-policy basis.
Using VIPRE's powerful policy-based attachment cleansing capabilities, you can configure inspection and filtering on a per-policy basis. You can set rules based on users and file types that enable you to quarantine potentially harmful content or attachments by files extension including .doc, .exe, .dll, .pdf, visual basic scripts and more. No other messaging solution in the industry utilizes the advanced 'VIPRE for Exchange Logic' directional and source level control policies to manage your attachment filtering!
Configurable reporting options for all plug-ins.
VIPRE for Exchange delivers system reporting for all plug-ins with a set of pre-defined reports with the ability to generate custom reports based on individual needs. The database-driven reporting engine can generate reports with information at the system, group, and/or user level. You can choose reporting options to show the number of inbound mail messages scanned, number of spam deleted or marked, number of viruses intercepted, number of filters triggered, percentage of viruses by name, and more.
