SPAVAS is a fully managed solution to email borne threats to security and productivity.

The SecurityPost AntiVirus and AntiSpam service removes virus, trojan, worm and phishing threats from email before they reach your network and eliminates wasted time reading unwanted and inappropriate email.

SPAVAS out-performs server and desktop based email virus and spam filtering.

SPAVAS employs multiple leading Anti-Virus filters, which are updated in real time, minimising the window of threat from new and variant viruses as the Anti-Virus suppliers compete to provide the earliest solution. Server and desktop solutions leave you vulnerable since they only update occasionally during the day and rely on the prompt performance of a single solution provider. Accidental interruptions to your cover from expired subscriptions, mis-configurations etc. cease to be an issue. Mobile users connecting via slow dial-up or cellular links are at risk from infrequent updates - a danger removed by SPAVAS.

SPAVAS uses a series of sophisticated spam recognition tools and techniques to provide the highest level of detection with minimal false alarms.

SPAVAS harnesses the power of the SPAI - the unique SecurityPost Artificial Intelligence engine to detect new variant viruses and virus-like behaviour before definitions have been produced by the AV vendors. It is also employed to spot new spamming techniques.

SPAVAS minimises wasted staff time dealing with spam - obvious spam is discarded; only the least spam-like messages are quarantined in case they are legitimate and are notified to the user for simple retrieval. Retrieval of quarantined messages is simply done by replying to the notification - no wasted time having to access a control panel or sort through the list of spam. White and black listing can be simply maintained by email or control panel.

SPAVAS deals with a wide spectrum of spam, providing the filters with the earliest exposure to new spam types. Automatic training and tuning of the system makes SPAVAS far more effective at trapping new spam types than in-house systems

SPAVAS is very easy to use and easy to administer. A hierarchical control panel provides administrators with management functions and for easy support of users, they can see each user's view. Users do not need to be registered with the system, black & white lists and quarantine areas are automatically created for every email address under the domain. User control panels are not compulsory as they can easily be added en masse or linked to your LDAP directory server. The service can be customised to incorporate your own branding or provided as packaged solution.

Managing users - minimal admin required

• At sign up, all email addresses under a domain are protected by default values. You do not have to provide a user list nor do you have to waste time maintaining one, as people are appointed or leave.

• Spam blocking and learning is fully automatic - white and black lists (domain and user level) are rarely used.

• You do not have to give all users control panel access - most users will not need them, only those people who need custom settings. Quarantine stores and white & black lists are automatically created and can be managed by email.

User control panels

• Control panel users can have multiple email addresses each with their own spam settings.

• Real time statistics are available for each control panel user and domain. More detailed statistical reports are available monthly.
  

Easy management of quarantined spam

• Only emails which are most likely to contain mis-classified messages are quarantined - real spam which fail lots of tests is discarded.

• This massively reduces the number of quarantined notifications a user has to deal with. Most users get about four quarantine notifications per day and has to retrieve one of these (false positive) about one per fortnight. Reduces wasted time dealing with spam.

• The spam notifications contain the original subject line, prefixed with "SPAM:" and sender information, making it easy for the user to identify mis-classified spam. A users simply replies to the notification to retrieve the message from quarantine or deletes it.

• Spam and Virus notifications can be automatically sorted into users' junk mail and deleted items folders using the supplied message rules for Outlook and Outlook Express.

 

Reduced bandwidth usage.

80%+ of email traffic is spam, viruses and other junk such as system messages and bounce notifications. SPAVAS filters out the rubbish before it clogs up your leased line or braodband connection.

Increased staff productivity

The simple "reply-to-retrieve" from quarantine system is much less disruptive to workflow than visiting a web site and having to search through great lists of spam - this is as distracting as having the spam in your mailbox. The SPAVAS system also limits the number of quarantined items by automatically discrding the obvious spams
