It has been designed to meet the needs of any organization, regardless of size, and is available as a cloud-based email security solution, application, virtual appliance or as a software add-on for Windows based servers.Split-mode architecture is a unique feature that can be
leveraged for companies with larger environments that need to be able to scale.
This uses a control center and remote analyzers placed in a demilitarized zone.
When using split-mode, the configurations are the same as when using the
all-in-one architectural layout. The remote analyzers accept and scan all mail,
deciding whether it is safe. If deemed unsafe, threats are defined as likely or
definite and quarantined in Junk Box. Split-mode comes with the ability to
easily expand, add redundancy, and add performance. Split gives the ability to
expand, add redundancy, and add performance. You can have multiple paths placed
anywhere for customized separations, like geographic locations for example. As
with the rest of the platform, settings can be very granular and applied to
each path separately. Paths can even be assigned to different analyzers.Capture Advanced Threat
Protection is a cloud-based, multi-engine sandbox that features realtime, deep
memory inspection of data utilizing AI to block dangerous files or email before
they reach your network. This fine-grained, user-transparent inspection of SMTP
traffic forces any attachments to expose any and all malicious content without
having to go through a dormant period or wait to identify certain malicious
characteristics. According to an internal study, Capture blocks, on average,
8-10 new variants of malware within a single year.
Policy filters come
with out-of-the-box options and options for customization with flexible
conditions, like setting the desired level of filtering aggressiveness and
configurable categories.The customizable dashboard
displays a high-level overview with charts and graphs that can be exported in
the form of detailed reports, so no additional reporting programs are
necessary. Those looking for more detailed information can drill down into the
