What is Gateway Defender?

GatewayDefender is a managed service whose entire purpose is to eliminate EMT, or Electronic Message Threats, and thus to help users avoid their potentially damaging effects:

Virus / Worms – Network infrastructure damage, information theft, loss of network control
Spam – Productivity killer, annoyance, hardware/bandwidth resource consumer
Inappropriate Content – Opens up to sexual harassment suits, productivity killer
Dangerous Attachments – Network infrastructure damage, information theft, loss of network control
Phishing (Fraud) – Financial loss, identity theft, information theft, productivity killer
Flood – Loss of e-mail service, loss of e-mail server functionality
Denial of Service Attacks (DoS) – Loss of e-mail service, loss of e-mail server functionality

GatewayDefender's unique approach is called EMTi, or Electronic Message Threat Interdiction. Interdiction is fundamentally different, because it allows only good emails to reach your mail server:

GatewayDefender blocks over 98% of the Spam and 100% of the viruses for its customers.
Designed to be easy to implement in the organization and easy to administer.
Reduces the amount of e-mail traffic to the corporate network (70 - 80%), by only sending good e-mail communications to the corporate e-mail server.
Malicious e-mails are discarded and unwanted e-mail messages are blocked and quarantined before they penetrate the corporate firewall.
l E-mail address directories are protected from SMTPbased attacks.
Controlled e-mail delivery, load balancing, and spooling (optional) to enhance e-mail system reliability.
Increased employee productivity—both IT staff and end-users.
Reduced corporate liability through the quarantining of objectionable e-mail content.

Only one level of GatewayDefender service is offered, so all GatewayDefender users will benefit from the full set of anti-virus and antispam features.

If GatewayDefender EMTi interdicts messages before they reach my mail box, will end I have any control?
– Yes, you are able to control their own definition of EMT using GatewayDefender's Message Center.

– Rather than being responsible for keeping up with the myriads of tricks that senders of EMT use, you will simply be able to indicate how strict or sensitive they would like GatewayDefender to be.
