Enhanced detection and manageability with new PureMessage
We have released a new version of Sophos PureMessage for UNIX as
part of our next generation of enterprise solutions. PureMessage
5.0 builds on earlier versions of this proven email gateway
security solution, continuing to provide proactive protection
through integrated anti-virus, anti-spam and policy enforcement
capabilities. Enhancements include even more reliable detection
mechanisms and a host of new functionality that help ease the
integration of PureMessage into enterprise environments and
increase manageability.
Expanded threat detection
PureMessage 5.0 improves reliability of detection
with new family- and campaign-based detection mechanisms -
Genotype™ virus definitions and Genotype spam definitions. The
product also benefits from enhanced traffic profiling through
SophosLabs™ and new hourly spam
rule updates.
Tighter integration into enterprise
environments
PureMessage 5.0 integrates more tightly with key
security assets, including LDAP systems, Active Directory systems
and high-performance MTAs like the Sun Java System Messaging
Server.
Increased manageability
PureMessage 5.0 gives administrators deeper insight
into system behaviour and enables seamless rollback to previous
configurations. Support for end users is also improved, allowing
them to manage their personal filtering preferences easily.
Existing PureMessage customers will be sent upgrade instructions
by email.
