IronPort Email Bundle Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, Virus Outbreak Filters and Platinum Support - extended service agreement -

As threat writers use constantly evolving techniques to penetrate companies' existing defenses, email threats have expanded beyond simple nuisance spam. IronPort Anti-Spam combines best-of-breed conventional techniques with IronPort's breakthrough context-sensitive detection technology, to eliminate the broadest range of known and emerging email threats.

The scale and complexity of recent virus attacks have highlighted the importance of a robust, secure messaging platform to protect your network perimeter. The traditional approach of being able to identify and block known viruses is no longer enough. In an era of greater virus attacks which are more complex, morph more quickly, and spread faster, anti-virus engines strain to protect customer networks appropriately. With the increased damage complex viruses cause, the cleanup costs for infected PCs continues to rise.

A proven preventive solution, IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters provide a critical first layer of defense against outbreaks hours before signatures used by traditional anti-virus solutions are in place. Real world results show an average lead time over reactive anti-virus solutions of 14 hours, along with an extremely high catch rate and near zero misclassifications. Integrated into IronPort's C-series email security appliances, IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters perform a threat assessment of inbound and outbound messages, and quarantines suspicious messages temporarily. Messages are automatically released once signatures from traditional anti-virus vendors are deployed.

The Cisco IronPort Platinum Support Program provides a comprehensive array of support services to assist in the administration and maintenance of Cisco IronPort security products. Features are designed to meet the demands of global customers, who require acute attention for their mission-critical business solutions.
