MailDefender
MailDefender is a managed, internet-based service that identifies and quarantines spam and messages infected with viruses before they reach your mail server, safeguarding your business against online threats and the disruption they can cause. The service scans every email as standard and checks for antivirus updates every five minutes, stopping 100%* of known viruses and aiming to stop unknown ones too.
Benefits
Security and simplicity
As a managed service, MailDefender stops you needing to worry about constantly keeping your safeguards up to date or managing your hardware, saving you time and resource. Optional virus-scanning is also available for outgoing messages, making it easy to reassure your contacts.
Increase performance
MailDefender can help improve your staff productivity, since employees don’t have to search through large amounts of spam to find genuine email. This also means valuable emails are less likely to be lost or overlooked. By stopping spam within our network, your network bandwidth and mail server capacity are not taken up unnecessarily and their performance may improve.
Putting users in control
All users in your organisation are given access to their own secure MailDefender mailbox where they can view and retrieve their quarantined email for up to 21 days. They also have the control to modify their own personal filter settings as required.
MailDefender Terms and Conditions
* Known viruses means viruses listed on the Sophos antivirus website for at least eight minutes prior to the time of scanning.
