SECURITY TECHNOLOGY

The most common transmission routes for viruses and worms are through email and Web traffic. In

addition, the growing volume of unsolicited email (spam) and inappropriate Web surfing poses risks

to corporate security, liability, and employee productivity. Effective security at every network 

tier—especially virus protection at the Internet gateway—is essential in today’s Internet-enabled

network environments.

Symantec AntiVirus Gateway Solution provides multi-layered protection against viruses, spam, and

unwanted email and Web content at the Internet gateway. This bundled solution includes Symantec

Mail Security

™

for SMTP (for Internet email traffic) and Symantec

™

Web Security (for HTTP/FTP traf-

fic) to protect the network against complex Internet threats.

√

The latest version of Symantec AntiVirus Gateway Solution includes the following enhancements:

• ENHANCED ANTISPAM HEURISTICS improves processing and analysis of email traffic to

detect and tag spam messages with the latest spam definitions. 

• AUTO-GENERATED WHITELIST prevents false positives by automating the collection of

known and trusted email domains to build a comprehensive whitelist and avoid unnecessary

scanning of legitimate email traffic. 

• ENHANCED WHITELIST SUPPORT provides greater flexibility for whitelist entries that now

include an email address, as well as support for wildcarding domains. 

• FLEXIBLE SCORE-BASED SPAM HANDLING offers flexible policy settings for dealing with

messages based on spam score assigned by the heuristic antispam engine.

• CUSTOM SPAM FILTERING RULES allows administrators to create their own spam filtering

rules based on message body content. This complements custom rules based on spam 

headers such as sender blocking and subject line blocking.

• MASS MAILER CLEANUP OPTION deletes messages generated by mass mailer worms.

• CUSTOM DISCLAIMER OPTION allows custom text (such as legal disclaimers) to be added to

outbound email messages.

email usage policy.
