The new versions of Sophos Email Appliances provide a comprehensive range of user- and group-specific policy controls for email and other organizational policy requirements that, once set, can be monitored and enforced by Sophos’s unique managed appliance platform. The new versions also introduce expanded policy-based functionality to address the heightened demands surrounding potential loss of sensitive data, enforcement and compliance with legal and governance requirements, and increasingly more complex policies surrounding acceptable use of email.

Administrators can select to either manage their appliances directly or enable Sophos to monitor and handle any situations that could arise through comprehensive remote management capabilities and direct customer contact, if required.

Supported by SophosLabs, Sophos’s global network of threat analysis centers, updates for the Sophos Email Appliances are available every five minutes to ensure the latest protection is always in place.

Some key benefits of Sophos Email Appliances include:
•    Wizard-based policy: The ability to easily configure a comprehensive set of inbound and outbound rules according to an organizations’ established Acceptable Use Policies.
•    TLS encryption: Prevents eavesdropping and interception of email with built-in TLS encryption (server-to-server) and is integral to data loss prevention capabilities.
•    Data leakage prevention: Administrators can also prevent leakage of confidential information via email by creating policies to managing keyword lists, strings and attachment file types.
•    “Three clicks to anywhere” Web-based management console: The comprehensive, powerful and effective management console. This dashboard displays the status of the system, including mail flow, software and threat updates, and also offers rapid access to other management functions.
•    Message tracking for the helpdesk: Provides a complete view of message movement through logs, queues and quarantine quickly and easily, using a centralized interface and the ability to search against a range of attributes such as sender, recipient, message ID, and date.
