Symantec today expanded their product portfolio by announcing two new models in the Symantec Mail Security Series product lineup.
The Symantec Mail Security 8100 Series has been designed to reduce the volume of unwanted messages, before they enter the corporate network, by reducing and slowing the inbound flow of spam traffic before it even enters the corporate network. Based on analysis of sending patterns at the network level, the Mail Security 8100 Series can identify abusive senders and prevent them from sending spam into a protected network.
Enrique Salem, Senior Vice President at Symantec said,
"Symantec Mail Security 8100 Series is the industry's first solution that is designed to reduce the overall mail volume entering a network by shaping traffic at the TCP protocol level. This unique feature enables customers to reduce the volume of unwanted messages and defend against spam attacks, allowing them to reclaim control of their email infrastructure."
The Mail Security 8100 Series is not designed to be a message-by-message type email filter, but more a volume reducer, to provide a multi-layered approach to combat spam.
Similarly, the Mail Security 8200 Series adds anti-virus and attack prevention to the equation, by restricting connections from dangerous servers. The solution can be configured to block spam attacks, virus attacks and connections from senders that have been automatically identified as suspicious.
