Overview

Symantec™ Mail Security 8200 and 8300 Series

appliances feature integrated, best-of-breed antispam,

antivirus, and content-filtering technologies that stop

inbound and outbound email-borne threats. The new

Premium Content Control add-on subscription helps

mitigate risks associated with data leakage and

regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GLBA, PCI). Expanded

tools for managing content filtering policies, such as

per-domain and policy-based TLS message encryption,

incident management, keyword and regular expression

scanning inside attachments, and true file typing, help

administrators comply with internal and external

regulations. Day Zero virus prevention helps

organizations avoid downtime, while graphical message

tracking enables administrators to determine easily the

action taken on any email processed by the appliance.

On-box connection throttling uses local reputation

analysis to reduce spam and improve filtering

performance by rejecting malicious senders at the IP

level.

Powered by the Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam™ engine,

the Symantec Mail Security 8200 and 8300 Series

appliances leverage more than 20 spam prevention

techniques, and can deliver an antispam effectiveness

rate of greater than 97%¹ and a 99.9999% accuracy

rate² against false positives. Automatic spam rule

updates issued every 5–10 minutes require minimal

administration and ensure that customers have the most

effective, real-time protection from new threats.

Real-time scanning, using award-winning Symantec

AntiVirus™ technologies, protects against email-borne

threats.

From a single Web-based console, administrators can

easily manage multiple mail scanning appliances to gain

insight into trends, attack statistics, and compliance

incidents. Users can control their personal spam settings

via user preferences. Next-generation Symantec Mail

Security 8200 and 8300 Series hardware support

improves performance for organizations with up to

150,000 users.
