Key Features & Benefits:
BorderWare Security Platform – based on S-Core, a UNIX-based hardened and optimized operating system. The patent-pending Stateful Failover and advanced Queue Replication capabilities included in the BorderWare Security Platform ensure message-level redundancy and high availability. The dynamic clustering in the BorderWare Security Platform rounds out the unique combination of market leading technologies. The Platform delivers an unbeatable return-on-investment by reducing operational costs and guaranteeing the delivery of business-critical email.
MXtreme Intercept Engine -- takes a new and innovative approach to block upwards of 98% of unwanted inbound email by detecting and blocking incoming threats in real-time at the email boundary. By making real-time decisions based not only on sender reputation but also on message content and email server behaviour, the MXtreme Intercept Engine provides a new level of precision and performance for threat detection and zero-day protection.
Perimeter Integration with F5 & Cisco Connectors -- MXtreme blocks attacks and unwanted email at the network edge through policy integration with F5 BIG-IP and Cisco IOS devices located at the perimeter of the network instead of requiring a separate “edge” device.
MXtreme Privacy and Compliance Solution -- provides unprecedented granular content management that is integrated with secure content delivery to ensure information is secure and regulatory requirements are met.
Highlights: The most important unique feature of MXtreme is the BorderWare Security Network (BSN). BSN proactively gathers data globally from more than 8,000 BorderWare products deployed worldwide to identify malicious senders and block threats across multiple attack vectors. BSN uses real-time and historical data collected from the widest number and range of participating email and perimeter firewalls, plus traditional reputation-based services to react quickly to new outbreaks. By combining local and global threat data, customers benefit from dynamic real-time threat prevention, increased performance, improved QoS and lower operational costs.
End-Users: The MX-1000 is targeted at large enterprises in any vertical and is deployed in some of the largest enterprises in the world.
