Sophos Email Protection

Email security is essential for any organization to protect confidential information and defend against cyberthreats such as spam and malware. Sophos Email Protection offers your IT administrator a powerful, integrated security package with numerous functions to protect your email communication.

Sophos Central Email Advanced - The better solution

Sophos Central Email Advanced is Sophos's solution, which is still being actively developed and is the better solution than email scanning on the firewall, both in terms of functionality and technology. Functions such as S/MIME, Microsoft 365 integration, time-of-click protection - phishing and malware protection, are forgiven on the firewall.

Sophos Central Email Advanced

Integrated Message Transfer Agent

The integrated Message Transfer Agent (MTA) enables emails to be processed and filtered directly via Sophos Firewall. This increases the efficiency and security of e-mail communication and reduces the load on the internal mail server.

With Email Protection you get two antivirus engines running in parallel. They intercept current viruses, malware and malicious URLs circulated via email and prevent them from entering the network.

Key feature

Sandboxing: Detect and block unknown malware in emails

Sandboxing is an important feature of Sophos Email Protection that helps protect your organization from malware infections. By analyzing email attachments in an isolated, virtual environment, potential threats can be detected and neutralized before they enter your email system.

In combination with the other security features of Sophos Email Protection, sandboxing provides additional protection against advanced cyberthreats that traditional anti-spam and anti-malware filters may not detect. This reduces the likelihood of a successful attack on your business and ensures the security of your confidential data and systems.

Key feature

Live anti-spam – keep inboxes spam free

The live anti-spam function can detect and block unwanted e-mails in real time. This helps maintain the integrity of your email system and increase employee productivity by automatically screening out unwanted emails.

With Email Protection, unwanted messages are blocked before they cause chaos in your inboxes or prevent you from working. Even the latest and constantly modified spam campaigns don't stand a chance.

Key feature

Self-service quarantine

Self-service quarantine allows users to review and manage potentially malicious or unwanted email in a secure environment. This reduces the likelihood of important emails being inadvertently classified as spam and enables faster response time in identifying and stopping threats.

Key feature

SPX Email Encryption – Secure confidential information with powerful encryption

SPX email encryption in Sophos Email Protection is an important security measure to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of emails. Encryption of e-mails containing sensitive information protects this data from unauthorized access while it is being transmitted over the Internet.

SPX Email Encryption uses powerful encryption technology to ensure that only authorized recipients can access the contents of an encrypted email. The sender of an email can enable encryption by using a simple policy or a specific subject prefix, making the process both user-friendly and secure.

Similarly, SPX email encryption enables secure exchange of encrypted messages between different email clients and platforms without the need for additional software or plug-ins. Recipients of an encrypted e-mail can easily decrypt it by entering a password that has been communicated to them separately.

Using SPX email encryption helps ensure compliance with privacy regulations and internal security policies. Companies can thus ensure that confidential data such as personal information, trade secrets or financial data is protected during electronic communication.

Key feature

Data Loss Prevention – Protecting confidential data and minimizing risks in email communication

The Data Loss Prevention(DLP) function in Sophos Email Protection is an important tool for preventing the unintentional or malicious loss of confidential information. DLP enables IT administrators to create and enforce specific policies for detecting and controlling sensitive data in email to ensure your corporate data remains safe and secure.

Data Loss Prevention allows IT administrators to monitor email communications based on user-defined rules and criteria. These can concern, for example, keywords, file attachments, file types or data patterns. Once an email is deemed potentially risky, the DLP feature can automatically block the message, quarantine it, or send an alert to the sender or administrator.

By implementing data loss prevention policies, organizations can:

  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and industry standards by preventing the unauthorized transmission of sensitive information such as personal data, credit card numbers, or intellectual property.
  • Reduce the risk of data leaks by preventing employees from accidentally or intentionally sharing confidential information via email.
  • Protect corporate reputation and minimize potential financial losses or legal consequences due to data leaks.

Key feature

Block unwanted content – control over email attachments

The block unwanted content feature in Sophos Email Protection gives IT administrators the ability to control certain file types sent or received via email. This makes it possible to proactively manage potentially risky or inappropriate content such as MP3s, video files, software programs and more.

By blocking unwanted content, organizations can increase the security and integrity of their email communications. Controlling the type of files that circulate through the email system minimizes the risk of confidential data being compromised or unwanted programs being installed. This feature is particularly useful for ensuring compliance with corporate policies and regulatory requirements while promoting employee productivity.
