Features
Create powerful email rules quickly and easily
Sophos Email Appliances allow you to create and prioritize rules based on a range of events and attributes, such as message size, keywords, attachment type, and sender and recipient. You can assign different message actions for separate groups and users. This flexibility will help you to enforce your organization’s security and acceptable use requirements.
“Three clicks to anywhere” interface
Designed to reduce administrative overhead without sacrificing visibility and control, the compact, intelligent and easy-to-manage format enables instant status checks and system management. The unique dashboard starts by presenting all vital system statistics on a single page, allowing simple navigation and giving you unrivaled insight and control.
End-to-end message forensics
Detailed searches of message logs, queues and the onboard quarantine save time spent tracking lost, misplaced, or dropped emails and reduce helpdesk burden. In addition, administrators can produce statistical reports and generate predictive metrics on system capacity and availability.
Automatic updates and software upgrades
Sophos Email Appliances automatically check for protection updates every five minutes, providing the most up-to-date email security available. Alternatively, you can download and apply updates manually or schedule them according to your requirements.
Advanced alerting technology
Sophos Email Appliances simplify system health monitoring by operating on a principle of ‘management by exception’ so attention is only required when issues arise. More than 40 built-in sensors track the health and performance of the system and initiate self-correcting measures to solve the problem or alert the administrator if necessary.
Proactive heartbeat monitoring
Enjoy greater peace of mind knowing that we listen for connection failures and receive critical alerts directly from the appliance to ensure continuous protection. We will contact you in the event of serious service interruptions to initiate resolution of any problems.
