Overview:

Over the past 20 years, email has evolved from a tool used primarily by technical and research professionals to become the backbone of corporate communications. Each day, more than 100 billion corporate email messages are exchanged. As the level of use rises, security becomes a greater priority. Mass spam campaigns are no longer the only concern. Today, spam and malware are just part of a complex picture that includes inbound threats and outbound risks.

Cisco Email Security solutions defend mission-critical email systems with appliance, virtual, cloud, and hybrid solutions. The industry leader in email security solutions, according to an Infonetics Research 2013 study, Cisco delivers:

  • Fast, comprehensive email protection that blocks spam, malware and other threats while providing protection before, during, and after an attack
  • Flexible cloud, virtual, and physical deployment options to meet your ever-changing business needs
  • Outbound message control through on-device data loss prevention (DLP), email encryption, and optional integration with the RSA enterprise DLP solution
  • One of the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) email security solutions available

Cisco's all-in-one solution offers simple, fast deployment, with few maintenance requirements, low latency, and low operating costs. Our set-and-forget technology frees your staff after the automated policy settings go live. The solution then automatically forwards security updates to Cisco's cloud-based threat intelligence solution. This threat intelligence data is pulled by the Cisco Email Security Appliances (ESAs) every three to five minutes, providing you with industry-leading threat defense hours or days before other vendors. Flexible deployment options and smooth integration with your existing security infrastructure make Cisco Email Security an excellent fit for your business needs.

Accelerating Email Threats

Modern corporate email systems such as Gmail and Microsoft Exchange and come with a measure of built-in security. Some see these built-in protections as adequate. They shouldn't.

Mobility, cloud and sophisticated blended attacks are expanding the number, range, and velocity of email- transported threats. Inbound threat defense that lags by hours or days, and sometimes even weeks, leaves email environments and businesses exposed.

Failure to secure sensitive data can also result in severe consequences. From fulfilling mandated compliance requirements to protecting intellectual property, email confidentiality is critical.

Threat Defense

Receive fast and comprehensive email protection backed by the largest threat detection network in the world. Cloud-based intelligence, combined with information from industry partnerships and the analysis of a dedicated threat research team, is essential for providing zero-day responses.

At Cisco, defense starts with our Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) service.

Cisco SIO provides a 24x7 view into global traffic activity, enabling Cisco to analyze anomalies, uncover new threats, and monitor traffic trends. Automatic policy updates are pushed to network devices every three to five minutes.

Cisco Anti-Spam

Secure your network with the highest spam capture rate and an industry-low false positive rate.
Spam is a complex problem that demands a sophisticated solution. Cisco makes it easy. To stop spam from reaching your inbox, a multilayered defense combines an outer layer of filtering based on the reputation of the sender and an inner layer of filtering that performs a deep analysis of the message.

With reputation filtering, over 80% of spam is blocked before it even hits your network.

Cisco Anti-Spam

Cisco Anti-Virus

Protect your email with the industry's only proven zero-hour antivirus solution that defends you from brand new viruses hours ahead of others.
Cisco Virus Outbreak Filters provide a critical first layer of defense against new outbreaks hours before signatures used by traditional antivirus solutions are in place.

Cisco Anti-Virus

Cisco's global Threat Operations Center analyzes SIO data and issues rules to quarantine suspicious messages. It can issue rules on any combination of six parameters, including file type, file name, file size, and URLs in a message. As the Threat Operations Center learns more about an outbreak, it continually updates rules to appropriately deal with quarantined messages. Messages are held in quarantine until Sophos or McAfee releases an updated signature.

Data Security

Protect your sensitive data-simply, effectively, and accurately.
Ensure your most important messages are compliant with industry standards and protected in transit. Protect outbound messages with Cisco Email Security Data Loss Prevention integration with RSA and email encryption.

Data Loss Protection (DLP)

Where to Deploy:

You can deploy Cisco Email Security solutions:

  • On premises: The Cisco ESA is an email gateway typically deployed in a firewall demilitarized zone. Incoming Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) traffic is directed to the Cisco ESA data interface according to specifications set by your mail exchange records. The Cisco ESA filters it and redelivers it to your network mail server. Your mail server also directs outgoing mail to the Cisco ESA data interface, where it is filtered according to outgoing policies and then delivered to external destinations.

  • Virtual: With Cisco UCS running in your small branch office, you could host the Cisco ESAV with other Cisco products such as the Cisco Web Security Virtual Appliance (WSAV). Together, they provide the same level of protection as their hardware equivalents but save you money on space and power resources. You can centrally manage this custom deployment with the Cisco SMA.

Email Security Technology:

Email has become the primary communication method for organizations of all sizes. Whether private information is deliberately or accidentally leaked, the ramifications of data loss are severe: violation of compliance regulations, erosion of customer trust, and destruction of brand equity. As a result, executives are focused more than ever on rapidly deploying solutions to address data loss - and to do it in an easy-to-administer, unobtrusive manner.

Cisco has partnered with RSA - the leader in data loss prevention (DLP) technology - to provide an integrated DLP solution, RSA Email DLP, on Cisco IronPort email security appliances. To ensure compliance with industry and government regulations worldwide and help prevent confidential data from leaving customer networks, RSA Email DLP offers easy management, comprehensive protection, and unparalleled accuracy.

Features

Comprehensive Policy Creation and Modification
RSA Email DLP has more than 100 predefined polices. These policies not only cover government regulations such as US focused HIPAA and UK focused Data Protection Act, but also include non-government regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). Administrators can also build custom policies to look for company-specific information. Additionally, they can choose from numerous remediation actions, such as BCC, notify, quarantine, and encrypt.

Simple Management
RSA DLP data classification technology and policies are fully integrated into Cisco IronPort email security appliances. In a single user interface, administrators can configure anti-spam, anti-virus, content filtering, encryption, and RSA Email DLP actions on a per-user basis. Administrators can access real-time and scheduled reports to view the top DLP email violations by policy, severity, and senders. The appliances' message tracking capabilities enable administrators to search for messages with certain DLP violations.

Unparalleled Accuracy
A common complaint about DLP solutions is the high rate of false positives. RSA Email DLP's pre-defined policies are created by RSA's Information Policy and Classification Research Team. This team has a proven methodology to develop policies with best-in-class accuracy. These policies leverage sophisticated content analysis techniques and are specifically tuned to virtually eliminate false positives and maximize catch rate. Administrators can set four different severity rankings, based on the amount of offending content, and apply different action depending on severity

Cisco IronPort solutions simplify the complexity of protecting sensitive communications.

Low Administrative Overhead
RSA Email DLP is specifically designed to virtually eliminate false positives, which means that administrators do not need to constantly monitor and manage violations. If examining quarantined messages is required, offending content is highlighted in each message. Administrators can also schedule DLP-related reports to be sent to them on a regular basis.

Simplified Regulatory Compliance
With RSA Email DLP, administrators don't need to be legal experts to ensure that their organizations are in compliance. With a single click, administrators can choose any one of the more than 100 pre-defined RSA Email DLP policies to ensure compliance with U.S. and international regulations.

Safeguard Proprietary Information
In addition to regulatory compliance, RSA Email DLP policies help ensure that intellectual property information and company confidential information does not leave the network. Administrators can choose from preloaded policies, or can customize them to scan for company-specific information.

Summary

RSA Email DLP is fully integrated into Cisco IronPort email security appliances - enabling administrators to manage all gateway-related tasks from a single user interface. This powerful DLP solution provides a comprehensive, easy-to-manage, and accurate DLP solution to protect companies from sensitive data loss.
