McAfee SaaS Email Security & Archiving Suite

Email filtering, availability, and compliance for a productive business

McAfee® SaaS Email Security & Archiving Suite is a cloud-based solution that blocks more than 99% of spam, viruses, and other malware threats before they reach your network. It also provides unlimited in-the-cloud message archiving. And in the case of downtime or disaster, it always keeps your email backed up and available.

Managing the thousands of email messages that pass through a typical company’s servers every day is an enormous task. Dedicating in-house IT resources to ensure security, availability, and compliance for vast amounts of email traffic is one approach—but doing so diverts these valuable resources from strategic work that advances business goals. Thankfully, there’s a better way. With McAfee SaaS Email Security & Archiving Suite, you can:

• Protect your company against more than 99 percent of spam, viruses, worms, phishing scams, and other malware threats before they ever reach your network
• Transparently store your email offsite to ensure access during planned and unplanned server outages
• Economically and efficiently archive every email message to meet document retention requirements



Even better, you can quickly protect, ensure access, and archive your email with no hardware to buy, no software to install, no backup tapes to mount, and no maintenance to perform.

Block more than 99 percent of spam

Block over 99 percent of spam and eliminate 90 percent of spam-related costs with a complete, multilayered email defense. Our Stacked Classification Framework®, powered by a patented technology, applies multiple layers of analysis to determine the probability that an email is spam.

Each of more than 20 separate layers of filtering has a set of unique strengths designed to identify and stop specific threats. This combination creates one of the most accurate and comprehensive filtering processes in the industry.

Our spam defense includes a premium anti-spam multi-language filter, which protects against real-time spam attacks and zero-hour spam, regardless of language. Perimeter IP filtering provides additional security against image-based spam, web-based threats, blended threats, and fraudulent phishing emails.

Count on triple scanning to effectively block viruses and worms

Proprietary WormTraq® worm detection technology identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms before they enter your corporate network. Our industry-leading signature-based anti-virus engine, powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, keeps viruses at bay.

Protect against email attacks

Our complete solution shields your network and critical messaging gateways from email attack, instantly blocking denial of service and other SMTP-based attacks, including directory harvest attacks, email bombs, and channel flooding.

Content and attachment filtering

Reduce corporate risk with intelligent message processing that identifies, quarantines, and blocks unwanted, malicious, and sensitive content and attachments.

Fraud protection

Automatically filter out phishing scams and other illegitimate emails before they reach your network to keep your employees safe from the risks of fraud.

Deliver messages with an additional layer of security

For organizations that need a higher level of security for inbound email, McAfee’s Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol filters encrypted inbound messages and delivers them across a secure tunnel when recipients are TLS-enabled. If a recipient is unable to receive a TLS encrypted message, the email is delivered using standard SMTP.

Ensure email availability and protection—no matter what

Business doesn't stop when your email network is down. Whether the network is inaccessible due to natural disasters, power outages, or even regular maintenance, SaaS Email Security & Archiving Suite keeps your employees, customers, partners, and suppliers connected 24x7.

Your email is always available, with no cumbersome backup tapes, disks, or procedures necessary. If your own email servers are unavailable, you can still access our secure, easy-to-use web interface to send and receive messages, search for and retrieve stored messages, and manage quarantines and message stores just as you would in your normal live environment.

Because the service is fully integrated and managed by McAfee, your inbound email protection continues without interruption. And the service retains all messages sent or received during the outage, intelligently synchronizing an accurate record of all outage-period message activity when your own email servers come back online.

Seamless email continuity helps protect your business reputation, operations, and productivity at all times, providing:

• Automatic service engagement when an outage is detected
• Access to email received during an outage via a secure web interface
• Full email functionality, including read, compose, reply, forward, and delete
• 60 days of unlimited rolling storage
• Intelligent post-outage email activity synchronization
• Outage notifications and system updates
• Inbound message filtering

Comply with document retention requirements

Archive every email that enters or leaves your company to meet industry requirements for archiving and storing documents. Automation features simplify archiving and eliminate email loss. In-the-cloud storage reduces the size of your Microsoft Exchange database and replaces cumbersome, unreliable tapes and disks.

Powerful search features let authorized users quickly find and retrieve messages for review, compliance, and e-discovery without the need for IT assistance. Find messages using either simple or advanced search criteria, including sender, date range, message content, and even attachment content.

Streamline email management

Reduce time spent on security with a web-based console that makes it easy to customize the service to meet your needs. This way you can keep your IT staff focused on strategic projects that drive your business forward.

Unparalleled support services

SaaS Email Security & Archiving Suite includes automated, around-the-clock threat monitoring and protection. Experts at McAfee Labs use Global Threat Intelligence to monitor web traffic trends and provide you with real-time updates and protection.

Finally, McAfee’s support team is available to answer your account and billing questions via a toll-free phone number or online 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

McAfee SaaS Email Encryption

Security-as-a-Service protects your classified data

McAfee® SaaS Email Encryption safe-guards your confidential data and enables you to maintain compliance with regulations requiring encryption of sensitive data. As a cloud-based solution, we deliver unparalleled scalability, eliminate the burden of managing the solution, and empower your mobile workforce to send and receive encrypted emails ubiquitously from any email client. And, it’s a bi-directional encryption solution that secures both the original message and any replies.

The irony of email is that it’s so critical yet so vulnerable. With one innocent click, years of product research, valuable intellectual property, and billions of dollars in account data can be lost through a simple email message.

With today’s online and mobile society, confidential data is always on the move and always at risk. Mitigate the risks by encrypting your mail messages with McAfee SaaS Email Encryption. Our Security-as-a-Service solution helps organizations protect valuable information to easily and economically maintain a stronger business and comply with privacy regulations.

Secure your email communications with ease

Protect your confidential outbound email without disrupting the day-to-day workflow of your employees with McAfee SaaS Email Encryption. The simple, cloud-based encryption helps to ensure secure confidential information delivery, while helping your organization to:

• Encrypt outgoing email with minimal administration
• Ensure compliance with data privacy and retention regulations
• Integrate data loss prevention strategies

Confidential information remains confidential

Email has become critical to business communications, and as a result, it ranks behind only portable storage devices as the top data leakage channel. McAfee SaaS Email Encryption can help to curb losses of company sensitive data with a solution that is easy to use by sender and receiver, and easy to administer.

Severe consequences can be avoided

The consequence of innocently forwarding confidential information can be severe, from significant fines to substantial business losses. You can avoid similar consequences by implementing SaaS Email Encryption without any upfront investment in additional hardware or software. SaaS Email Encryption:

• Scales to meet the needs of any business
• Keeps your workforce agile – send and receive encrypted messages ubiquitously from any email client, including mobile devices

Compose. Send. Retrieve. Easily and safely.

As with all of our cloud-based security solutions, McAfee SaaS Email Encryption offers enterprise level performance without the complexity associated with on-premises based solutions.

The solution offers flexible encryption options for the IT administrator, and for both the sender and recipient.

• As an administrator, use the unified web based SaaS Control Console to set, review and customize your organization‘s privacy policies (policy-driven encryption) so confidential content is automatically encrypted. Multiple policies may be customized and enforced for respective user groups, branch offices, and lines of businesses
• As a sender, simply compose your email and send. The content is automatically scanned and encrypted if it matches the policy set by the administrator. This occurs transparently behind the scenes.
• As a sender, you may also tag your email to be encrypted by simply adding [encrypt] to the subject line or within the message body
• Your email recipient can retrieve the message from the web-based message pick-up portal, or they can download a Secure Message Reader, which enables viewing of the message directly through the recipient’s email client. And when they reply, the message will also be encrypted, providing you bidirectional protection.

Technology made simple for you and your team
