This donation includes a one-year subscription for use of the product, protection updates, and new product features.

Security Technologies

• Antivirus technologies:
• Scans both inbound and outbound email, including attachments, before any other process or client application takes effect
• Detects viruses, worms, Trojan horses, adware, spyware, and other malware and acts on them according to policies specified by administrators
• Allows administrators to develop a whitelist of trusted senders and recipients
• Automatically updates virus definitions
• Spam protection: Symantec Mail Security stops 99 percent of spam (unwanted bulk email).
• Content filtering: Customizable content filtering can filter and block inappropriate content as well as confidential information in both inbound and outbound messages. The filter can examine attachment names, attachment content, specific words, phrases, subject lines, and senders.

Management Tools

• Management console: The Mail Security console allows centralized management of multiple Exchange servers or just one. Administrators can manage server group policy configuration, notifications, alerts, and reporting. The console does not have to be installed on a computer that is running Mail Security.
• Reports: Symantec Mail Security can create reports for individual servers or summary reports that consolidate data from all servers within a group.
