How Email AntiVirus.cloud works:
A key advantage of the Symantec MessageLabs Email AntiVirus.cloud service is that it is easy to setup,
requires no additional hardware, software or changes to your existing mail server. You simply point your
MX records to our servers where all email is filtered for viruses and other email threats before being
passed on to your mail servers.
- Customers point their Mail Exchange (MX) records to Symantec.cloud Infrastructure
- Inbound and outbound email is directed by Symantec.cloud, where it is scanned
- Our perimeter defenses detect and reject known malware originating from known sources
- Proprietary Skeptic™ heuristic technology identifies and stops new or unknown threats
- Email containing a virus is blocked and quarantined for 30 days. Administrators or users are notified of the action taken
- ‘Link-following’ technology checks all Web pages referenced within an email for viruses and other threats, blocking the email if malware is found on the linked sites. Suspicious links confirmed as viral will have a signature created for them so that future emails containing that link will be treated as being infected and quarantined
