• Scans inbound email for malicious content delivered by blended threats for advanced content filtering and malware prevention.
• Blocks file attachments that are known to be harmful from entering your network.

CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING

• Set It and Forget It Administration allows you to apply a single policy to control traffic so you spend less time defending your borders and more time focusing on higher business value IT projects.
• Eliminates email security gaps and reduces administration efforts by providing a holistic view of what is entering your network.
• Provides one-click administration for customizable reports in varying file formats. Meet audit requirements with easily exported or locally saved time-, feature-, and group-based reports.

The WatchGuard XCS 570 model provides even more protection, with the addition of outbound data loss prevention and an optional email encryption subscription.
