requirements, and government regulations. The joint offering

About Sophos PureMessage
Sophos PureMessage combines
industry-leading anti-virus and anti-spam technologies with
flexible policy management and world-class support. It checks all
email traffic passing through the email server in real-time,
providing protection against mass-mailing worms and viruses,
including the latest multi-faceted attacks that combine virus,
spam, DoS (denial-of-service) and phishing attacks. Viruses are
stopped at the gateway before they can proliferate within a
corporate network. The PureMessage engine intercepts messages at
the email gateway and scans for spam, viruses, phishing campaigns
and other conditions defined by the overall message filtering
policy. It then applies any policy actions to the messages, passing
them back to the MTA (mail transfer agent) before delivering to the
intended recipient or quarantining for review.
More than 100 million users in 150 countries rely on Sophos as the best protection against complex threats and data loss. Sophos is committed to providing security and data protection solutions that are simple to manage, deploy and use and that deliver the industry's lowest total cost of ownership.
