Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway is a fully integrated email system and mail security solution – packed into a single ready-to-use virtual appliance. Based on the popular Kaspersky Security for Linux Mail Server, it provides next-generation email protection from known and unknown threats, including spam, phishing and every kind of malicious attachments.
It’s easy to install and manage, saving you time on day-to-day mail and mail security tasks, while delivering award-winning security that helps keep your business safe while boosting user productivity.
Pre-built virtual appliance versions for all the most popular platforms, including VMware ESXi and Microsoft HyperV. Can be deployed onto bare metal physical systems as an all-in-one, ready-to-use mail gateway distribution
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway includes the latest version of Kaspersky’s award-winning anti-malware engine. Furthermore, it receives real-time information from the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) – so you benefit from a Linux mail server antivirus solution that delivers even better performance in detecting and removing malicious attachments from incoming emails including exploits, unknown and advanced malware.
With real-time updates from the cloud, Kaspersky’s Web malicious URL filter blocks emails that include links to infected sites or malicious files.
Embedding malicious scripts into Office files is a popular technique used by extremely dangerous specimen such as ExPetr / Petya / NotPetya. Kaspersky’s next-generation anti-malware provides effective protection against such threats.
Kaspersky’s anti-spam engine includes two powerful technologies:
Enforced Anti-Spam Updates Service (EASUS) – which uses push technology, directly from the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network, to deliver real-time updates. By reducing the ‘update window’ from 20 minutes to less than 1 minute, EASUS helps to protect against Zero-Hour spam and spam epidemics.
Cloud-assisted Reputation Filtering – can ‘rate’ suspicious emails, place them in quarantine and then recheck them when updated information becomes available. This helps to defend you against unknown spam – while also reducing the number of false positives.
Kaspersky’s new anti-phishing module receives real-time updates from the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network – for more effective detection and blocking of emails that contain links to phishing websites.
You can easily set policies to block unwanted mass mail from reaching your end users.
Suspicious messages are placed in the anti-spam quarantine, managed from the web interface. These messages can be reviewed later.
For organizations using MS Exchange, the Spam Confidence Level (SCL) rating, which lets users define actions for messages according to SCL thresholds, is now included.
Supports internationalized (non-Latin) characters in email addresses.
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway now detects messages containing Unicode spoofing, which uses Unicode symbols visually resembling proper characters used in legitimate mail addresses and URLs.
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway now recognizes and blocks certain types of files within archives and compound objects, providing detection inside multi-layered archives widely used by scammers.
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway can be integrated with KATA – Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform. After integration, the application can send copies of messages to KATA for scanning. Based on the results of the KATA scan, the application can then block individual messages.
Suspicious messages are placed in the KATA quarantine, managed from the web interface.
For those organizations that cannot participate in Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway can now integrate with Kaspersky Private Security Network (KPSN).
After integration with KPSN, the application can use the KSN reputation databases locally, benefitting from the latest, globally acquired threat intelligence - without sending any data outside the organization.
Kaspersky’s easy-to-use management console, Kaspersky Security Center, gives you the ability to monitor security for all your Linux mail servers – including clusters – from a single console. If a security incident occurs, the system administrator will automatically be informed about the affected server and the cause of the issue.
Help desk specialists can now access a user’s backup and personal blacklists / whitelists – via a standard web interface, without disturbing system administrators or end users.
The web dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of status and monitoring, including information about the most recently found malware.
SNMP support lets you monitor any type of event, using SNMP events and traps.
You can choose your method of application management – using the Web console or command line interface (CLI).
Customisable reports help you to monitor and analyse your security and policies.
Administrators and document owners are informed about policy violation incidents – so immediate action can be taken.
Detailed information about all product actions is automatically recorded – to help you to identify the cause of a problem.
Generate an archive of information about the operation of the application to send to Kaspersky Technical Support.
Authorized Helpdesk account users can access application performance reports.
Schedule and configure notifications to users about the results of their scanned messages. Notifications contain a list of the latest messages in Backup.
For those using SIEM systems, the logs can now be generated in Common Event Format (CEF), enriching your picture of corporate security with mail-related events.
