Data Sheet

McAfee WebShield SMTP

Stop threats at the Internet gateway

Email trafﬁc is the most common transmission route

for viruses and worms. Your email-enabled business

needs effective virus and content ﬁltering protection.

The best place to start is at the Internet gateway.

The growing volume of email trafﬁc poses risks to corporate

security, liability, and employee productivity. Internet

gateway protection is a key component of your overall anti-

virus solution. McAfee®WebShield®SMTP provides multi-

faceted protection against viruses and unwanted email at

the Internet gateway.

WebShield SMTP uses the award-winning McAfee scanning

engine to detect and clean viruses and malicious code,

including macro viruses, Internet email, Trojans, worms,

and hostile ActiveX and Java threats. WebShield SMTP scans

all inbound and outbound email trafﬁc as it passes through

your SMTP gateway.

Ensure your email content is secure

WebShield SMTP knows what is entering and leaving your

network. The solution scans for inappropriate content in

the subject line and message body of emails and blocks ﬁles

based on name, type, or size. It also prevents your servers

from hosting spam. Both reduce your legal liability and

make your users happier and more productive.

Proactive threat protection

McAfee Outbreak Manager is included with WebShield

SMTP and acts like a 24/7 administrator that takes pre-

programmed action to help prevent outbreaks. Outbreak

Manager searches for new attacks by looking for email

behavior typical of virus outbreaks. When identiﬁed it takes

action to secure your email against the threat.

Easy to install and conﬁgure

The ﬁrewall-independent WebShield SMTP easily plugs

into your existing network without impacting ﬁrewalls or

mail servers. You can start scanning SMTP ports almost

immediately. As a standalone solution, it doesn’t impact

other critical applications.

Data Sheet

Know your email trafﬁc

The Status Monitor within WebShield SMTP provides you

with real-time statistical information about your inbound

and outbound email trafﬁc. It tells you the number of email

messages scanned and infected, as well as the number of

messages that have been ﬁltered for content. The Status

Monitor gives you information regarding your average

email throughput and peak-time utilization.

Automatic updates

Virus security products are only as good as their most recent

updates. With WebShield SMTP, automatic updates ensure

that you are always up to date with the latest McAfee virus-

deﬁnition drivers (DAT ﬁles).
