The Cisco Email Security Inbound Essentials bundle delivers protection against email-based threats and includes antispam, graymail detection, Sophos antivirus solution, Outbreak Filters and Forged Email Detection.
The antispam functionality in Cisco Email Security uses the Cisco Context Adaptive Scanning Engine (CASE). This engine examines the complete context of a message, including what content the message contains, how the message is constructed, who is sending the message, and where the call to action of the message takes you. By combining these elements, Cisco Email Security stops the broadest range of threats with industry-leading accuracy.
The graymail detection feature precisely classifies and monitors graymail entering an organization. An administrator can then take appropriate action on each category.
By offering a high-performance virus scanning solution integrated at the gateway, Cisco Email Security provides a multilayered, multivendor approach to virus filtering.
Outbreak Filters defend against emerging threats and blended attacks. They can issue rules on any combination of six parameters, including file type, file name, file size, and URLs in a message.
Forged Email Detection protects against business email compromise attacks focused on executives, who are considered high-value targets. It helps you block these customized attacks and provides detailed logs on all attempts and actions taken.
