Email Security and Inspection
More than spam blocking
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance is the 
industry’s most effective spam filter,

 but it does so 
much more than that. It also protects your email 
with advanced anti-virus and malware protection, 
enforces usage policy, provides compliance tools, 
protects against zero-day threats, and offers 
comprehensive reporting and monitoring. And, it 
does it all in a single, integrated appliance. 
Comprehensive and proactive 
malware protection
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance uses 
the award-winning McAfee scanning engine 
to detect, clean, and protect your email from 
viruses, worms, rootkits, Trojans, and other 
threats. The McAfee anti-malware engine delivers 
comprehensive find-and-fix solutions and the 
automated updates ensure your appliance 
always has the latest virus signature files and 
countermeasures in place.
What about malware that is so new no signature 
yet exists? Not a problem. McAfee Email and 
Web Security Appliance significantly reduces 
your exposure to emerging threats with real-time 
malware protection. Using cloud-based threat 
intelligence, McAfee Email and Web Security 
Appliance sends a fingerprint of any suspicious 
file for instant lookup at McAfee Labs. If the 
fingerprint is identified, a response is sent back 
to the appliance in milliseconds to block or

Reputational analysis
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance also 
leverages the reputational analysis from McAfee 
TrustedSource
, which applies intelligence from 
email sensors in more than one hundred countries 
and thousands of gateway security devices around 
the globe. McAfee TrustedSource identifies 
spam and other malicious email faster and more 
accurately by dropping connections from known 
spam and malware sources.
Advanced content filtering 
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance 
scans both inbound and outbound email and 
attachments. The content rule wizards and built-in 
dictionaries make creating content-based policies 
quick, easy, and painless. The regular expression 
tool, customizable dictionaries, threshold counters, 
and whitelists enable you to create and enforce 
the policies you need to manage and protect both 
regulated data and sensitive company information. 
Email Security—without compromise
With McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance 
you no longer have to choose between effective 
spam blocking or low false-positive rates; you 
get them both. With its extremely low rate of 
false positives, McAfee Email and Web Security 
Appliance keeps the spam out while delivering 
legitimate email accurately.
