Email Security

E-mail spam currently accounts for between 65 and 90 percent of a company’s daily e-mail traffic. Viruses transported through unsolicited e-mails represent the number one security concern for SME and Enterprise technology decision makers. Managing these concerns translates into a significant investment in time and money for IT departments.

OCM's E-mail Security SaaS alleviates these concerns by providing Enterprise class e-mail protection without the Enterprise class cost or management headache. The benefits for implementing a software-as-a-service e-mail solution include the following:-

Better Manageability
No hardware or software to purchase or manage
No software updates to manage
Better Value
Lower total cost of ownership
Saves time and money
Better Protection
Guaranteed protection against 100% of known viruses
Guaranteed protection against 98% of spam

The protection can be provided to company networks, branch offices, remote and mobile workers.

The OCM e-mail management suite offers a powerful, customizable rules engine which facilitates both content and event-based e-mail management while providing highly sensitive levels of control regarding inbound and outbound e-mail traffic. The service allows users and/or administrators to determine how messages should be handled and reported on based upon the following criteria:

Inbound and outbound traffic management
Monitoring and enforcement of acceptable use policies
Protection of valuable intellectual property
Custom and granular filtering based on: Groups, individuals, e-mail size, words, identity, timings, destination, attachments or any combination
Optional alerts to recipients, senders or administrators
Rules to alert or trigger other systems such as HR, CRM, ERP or workflow

Message Tracking

Audit logs are created for every e-mail sent to or from your organization. Search for e-mail based on date, time, sender, recipient, subject, e-mail type or size. Legislation compliant audit records accurately display status of any e-mail along with transmission handshakes with sending or receiving mail servers.

Reporting

A highly efficient data collection process ensures that data is compiled across all domains within the system on an hourly basis. Background data is held in an optimized form to ensure that report generation is as rapid as possible through the web interface. Customizable reports can be scheduled or generated on an as needed basis.

Web Control Panel

OCM offer administrators a web based management console providing unprecedented levels of flexibility in managing the e-mail service. Highlighted features of this console include:


Management dashboard with real-time summary reports
Visibility into group and individual e-mail traffic
Access to audit logs
Ability to set and control e-mail policies with a guarantee that policy changes will be activated within 15 seconds for 99.9% of the time

The ability to delegate authority also allows multiple levels of administration and functionality from super admin to single user account control. This flexible approach enables OCM's E-mail Security SaaS to meet your company structure and needs.

Virus Scanning

The OCM anti-virus solution not only includes multiple best-of-breed signature based engines, but also various zero-hour and heuristic filters to protect against new and unknown viruses. The signature based engines provide a company with guaranteed protection against 100% of known viruses. However, as new viruses appear and others quickly replicate into new strands, the time taken by signature based anti-virus vendors to capture, analyze and release definition updates exposes organizations to the threat of virus infection for a period of time. To meet this challenge, OCM employs zero-hour and heuristic filters to seek out new and unknown viruses through additional mail scanning with minimal impact to service delivery.

Spam Blocking

With spam levels regularly being measured at between 65 and 90 percent, OCM has invested heavily in technology to manage the sheer volume of unwanted e-mail being delivered. Careful attention to connection management and integration of multiple best of breed filters has led to blocking the maximum quantities of spam with the lowest possible rate of false positives.

Pornographic Image Scanning

Many organizations recognize the distress that can be suffered by users who innocently open e-mail to find distasteful images attached. Increasingly, employers recognize that they have a duty of care to minimize these incidents and consequently, OCM provides a filter specifically to address image analysis.
