Certificate

Module description

McAfee Email Gateway integrates comprehensive inbound threat protection with outbound data loss prevention, advanced compliance, performance reporting, and simplified administration. By combining local network information with global reputation intelligence from McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, it provides the most complete protection available against inbound threats, spam and malware. Its sophisticated content scanning technologies, multiple encryption techniques, and granular, policy-based message handling prevent outbound data loss and simplify compliance.
