Stop spam and
the viral payload it carries cold by adding spamBlocker, our
powerful anti-spam subscription with virus outbreak detection,
to your Firebox® X. Spam accounts for up to 95% of global email
traffic, bogging down the network and leading unsuspecting users
to malicious web sites designed to steal sensitive personal
or company data. It remains the most common method of spreading
viruses. WatchGuard offers an effective and efficient solution
to protect your network against spam and all the dangers it
carries.
- Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD™) technology monitors
the Internet for distinct patterns in global email traffic.
RPD works quickly to effectively identify spam and virus
attacks as they emerge for safe handling of email and malware
prevention.
- Real-time spam monitoring reports provide an up-to-the-minute
view of all spam-blocking activity, allowing IT administrators
to make important networking decisions immediately.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Virus outbreak detection - New! A powerful layer
of real-time anti-virus protection employs RPD technology
to recognize and stop malware with excellent accuracy.
- Strong protection - Best in the industry at distinguishing
legitimate communication from spam outbreaks in real time,
blocking nearly 100% of unwanted email before it reaches
the internal mail server.
- Spam quarantine* - Users can create a safe, full-featured
quarantine for spam, bulk mail, and suspect email messages.
Granular control allows for custom configuration.
- Intuitive management - Easy-to-use interface
makes deployment and ongoing management simple and straightforward,
even for novice network administrators.

has the flexibility to:

trusted domains.

and forwarding to dedicated Exchange folders.
