SonicWall Email Security Software
Powerful Protection against Spam, Virus and Phishing Attacks

Overview:

Email is crucial for your business communication, but it can also expose your business to sabotage and productivity drains if email-based threats such as ransomware, phishing, business email compromise (BEC), spoofing, spam and viruses flood your mail servers and user inboxes. What’s more, government regulations now hold your business accountable for protecting confidential data and ensuring it is not leaked and that email containing sensitive customer data or confidential information is securely exchanged. Whether your organization is a growing small-to medium-sized business (SMB), a large, distributed enterprise or a managed service provider (MSP), you need a cost-effective way to deploy email security and encryption, and the scalability to easily grow capacity for — and delegate management across — organizational units and domains.

SonicWall Email Security appliances and software provide superior protection from inbound and outbound email threats and compliance violations by scanning all inbound and outbound email content and attachments for sensitive data, delivering real-time protection ransomware, advanced phishing attacks, spoofing, viruses, malicious URLs, zombies, directory harvest (DHA), Denial of Service (DoS) and other attacks. The solution leverages multiple, patented SonicWall threat detection techniques and a unique, worldwide attack identification and monitoring network.

SonicWall Email Security now integrates with the Capture Advance Threat Protection service, to deliver fine-grained and user-transparent inspection of SMTPbased traffic. The cloud-based Capture ATP service can scan a broad range of email attachment types, analyze them in a multi-engine sandbox, and block dangerous files or emails before they reach your network. Email Security with Capture ATP gives you a highly effective and responsive defense against ransomware and zero-day attacks.

The solution also includes Domain-based Message Authentication, DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail), SPF (Sender Policy Framework), Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), a powerful email authentication method that helps identify spoofed mail, reducing spam and advanced phishing attacks such as spear-phishing, whaling, CEO fraud and business email compromise, It also reports on sources and senders of email, so you can identify and shut down unauthorized senders falsifying email with your address and protect your brand. In addition, it prevents confidential data leaks and regulatory violations with advanced compliance scanning and management, including integrated email encryption cloud service to ensure secure exchange of sensitive data.

Administration of the Email Security solution is intuitive, quick and simple. You can safely delegate spam management to end users, while still retaining ultimate control over security enforcement. You can also easily manage user and group accounts with seamless multi-LDAP synchronization. For large, distributed environments, multi-tenancy support lets you delegate sub-administrators to manage settings at multiple organizational units (such as enterprise divisions or MSP customers) within a single Email Security deployment.

SonicWall Email Security Deployments

The highly flexible architecture of SonicWall Email Security enables deployments in organizations that require a highly scalable, redundant and distributed email protection solution that can be centrally managed. SonicWall Email Security can be deployed in either all-in-one (Figure 1) or split mode (Figure 2).

In split mode, systems may be configured as a remote analyzer or a control center. In a typical split-mode setup, one or more remote analyzers is connected to a control center. The remote analyzer receives email from one or more domains and applies connection management, email filtering (anti-spam, anti-phishing and anti-virus) and advanced policy techniques to deliver benign email to the downstream email server. The control center centrally manages all remote analyzers and collects and stores junk email from the remote analyzers. Centralized management includes reporting and monitoring of all related systems. This paradigm allows the solution to costeffectively scale and protect both inbound and outbound email for growing organizations. Using SonicWall Email Security Virtual Appliances, split mode can be fully deployed on one or multiple servers for optimal efficiencies of scale.

Flexible, Scalable Deployment Options

All-in-one configuration (Figure 1) In an all-in-one configuration, filtering and management take place on the same system.

High availability deployment (Figure 2) For load balancing and redundancy, split mode enables organizations to filter at the network perimeter while providing centralized control. Administrators can easily synchronize SonicWall Email Security across multiple LDAP servers in distributed and hosted environments for scalable deployment.
