ESET® Mail Security
- Category: Product Information
- Created on 2011-04-04
Linux, BSD, and Solaris mail server protection
E-mail is the lifeblood of today's business communications. More businesses rely on Linux, BSD and Sun Solaris mail servers to deliver performance and scalability commensurate with today's communication loads. As e-mail use and volume of exchanged information increases, companies are increasingly vulnerable to fast propagating malware that can bring business processes to a grinding halt in a matter of minutes-or worse- which create stealth attacks designed to steal passwords or sensitive data.
ESET Mail Security provides Linux, BSD and Solaris mail servers with on-demand and on-access real-time protection from known and unknown viruses, worms, trojans, spyware and other Internet threats. ThreatSense® technology is the heart of ESET Mail Security. It proactively protects mission-critical file servers from zero-day threats with minimal impact on system performance or resources. ThreatSense's industry leading heuristic threat detection minimises false positives while detecting new threats as soon as they emerge. With ESET, IT managers do not have to choose between security and performance. And in most cases, there is zero latency between release of a virus and protection.
