GFI Mail Security
The need to monitor email messages for dangerous, offensive or confidential content has never been more evident. The most deadly viruses, able to cripple your email server and corporate network in minutes, are being distributed worldwide via email in a matter of hours. Products that perform single vendor anti-virus scanning do not provide sufficient protection. Worse still, email has become the means for installing backdoors (trojans) and other harmful programs to help potential intruders break into your network. Products restricted to a single anti-virus engine will not protect against email exploits and attacks of this kind.
Your only defense is to install comprehensive granular user-based email content policy and anti-virus software to safeguard your mail server and network. GFI MailSecurity acts as an email firewall and provides mail security by protecting you from email viruses, exploits and threats, as well as email attacks targeted at your organization.

GFI MailEssentials
GFI MailEssentials is server-based and installs on the mail server or at the Gateway, eliminating the deployment and administration hassle of desktop-based anti-spam and anti-phishing products. Desktop-based software involves training your users to create anti-spam rule sets, and subsequently users have to spend time updating these rules. Besides, this system does not prevent your server message stores from filling up with spam.
Bayesian filtering technology
Bayesian filtering is widely acknowledged by leading experts and publications as the best way to catch spam. A Bayesian filter uses a mathematical approach based on known spam and ham (valid email). This gives it a tremendous advantage over other spam solutions that just check for keywords or rely on downloading signatures of known spam. GFI’s Bayesian filter uses an advanced mathematical formula and a dataset which is ‘custom-created’ for your installation: The spam data is continuously updated by GFI and is automatically downloaded by GFI MailEssentials, whereas the ham data is automatically collected from your own outbound mail. This means that the Bayesian filter is constantly learning new spam tricks, and spammers cannot circumvent the dataset used. This results in a 98+% spam detection rate, after the required two-week learning period. In short, Bayesian filtering has the following advantages:
- Looks at the whole spam message, not just keywords or known spam signatures
- Learns from your outbound email (ham) and therefore greatly reduces false positives
- Adapts itself over time by learning about new spam and new valid email
- Dataset is unique to your company, making it impossible to bypass
- Multilingual and international.

GFI MailArchiver
GFI MailArchiver for Exchange provides easy-to-use corporate email archiving, enabling you to centrally archive all internal and external email. GFI MailArchiver allows you to archive past, present and future emails into one or multiple Microsoft SQL databases, providing both the network administrator and employees with a number of benefits.
- Network administrators can now avoid the pains of PST file management and:
- Eliminate corrupted PST files and the lengthy troublesome process of ‘fixing’ them
- Overcome the risk of PST loss in the case of hardware failure on the employees’ workstations
- Free yourself from complex backup plans to copy PST files from each employee’s workstation.
- GFI MailArchiver allows employees to perform the following actions without needing the assistance of a network administrator:
- Use their browser to easily locate and access all their emails from anywhere in the world
- Quickly restore emails back to their mailbox through a OneClick Restore process, avoiding the cumbersome process of retrieving an email from a backup tape or disk, saving the network administrator’s time.
In addition, GFI MailArchiver also aids in fulfilling regulatory email storage requirements (such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.)
GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) checks your network for all potential methods that a hacker might use to attack it. By analyzing the operating system and the applications running on your network, GFI LANguard N.S.S. identifies possible security holes. In other words, it plays the devil's advocate and alerts you to weaknesses before a hacker can find them, enabling you to deal with these issues before a hacker can exploit them.
Provides in-depth information about all machines/devices
GFI LANguard N.S.S. scans your entire network, IP by IP, and provides information such as service pack level of the machine, missing security patches, wireless access points, USB devices, open shares, open ports, services/applications active on the computer, key registry entries, weak passwords, users and groups, and more. Scan results can easily be analyzed using filters and reports, enabling you to proactively secure your network – for example, by shutting down unnecessary ports, closing shares, installing service packs and hotfixes, etc.
Patch management
GFI LANguard N.S.S. is also a complete patch management solution. After it has scanned your network and determined missing patches and service packs – both in the operating system and in the applications – you can use GFI LANguard N.S.S. to deploy those service packs and patches network-wide and also deploy custom software.

GFI LANguard Security Event Log Monitor (S.E.L.M.)
Automatic network-wide security event analysis - no need to be an event guru!
Many companies mistakenly assume that unauthorized access is only attempted by external parties. Actually, the majority of corporate security threats stem from internal sources, against which a firewall offers no protection. GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. monitors the security event logs of all your Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 servers and workstations and alerts you to possible intrusions/attacks in real time, giving you peace of mind.
GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. ships with a security event analysis engine which takes into account the type of security event, security level of each computer, when event occurred (outside or during operating hours), role of computer (workstation, member server or domain controller) and its operation system. Based on this information, GFI LANguard S.E.L.M. can decide whether the security event is critical, high, medium or low. Now you can quickly respond to important security events without being an event log guru and knowing the ins and outs of each Windows event.

GFI EndPointSecurity
You have invested in network anti-virus software, firewalls, email and web content security to protect against external threats. Yet any user can come into the office, plug in a USB stick the size of the average keychain and take in/out over 32 GB of data. This poses a tremendous threat: Users can take confidential data or they can unknowingly introduce viruses, trojans, illegal software and more – actions that can affect your network and company severely. Yet, as an administrator you have no way to control this! Group policy offers no control.
According to a 2005 FBI Computer Crime Survey, 44% of organizations have reported network intrusions from within their own organizations. Technology analyst Gartner warns that portable devices containing a USB or FireWire connection are a serious new threat to businesses. In their report, Gartner named removable media devices as a significant security risk in the workplace and advised that these can be used both to download confidential data, and also to introduce a virus into the company network.
GFI EndPointSecurity allows administrators to actively manage user access and log the activity of:
- Media players, including iPod, Creative Zen and others
- USB sticks, CompactFlash, memory cards, CDs, floppies & other storage devices
- PDAs, BlackBerry handhelds, mobile phone and similar communication devices
- Network cards, laptops and other network connections

GFI WebMonitor
Companies must exercise some control over users’ web browsing habits – not only to ensure productive use of the Internet but also to safeguard users from adult sites and to ensure that downloads are virus free. The traditional full-blown web proxy filters are cumbersome to install/administer and expensive to buy, while log file analyzers are awkward to use and do not allow for real-time monitoring and blocking.
Virus scanning of downloads and real-time access control
GFI WebMonitor is a utility for Microsoft ISA Server that allows you to monitor the sites users are browsing and what files they are downloading – in REAL TIME. In addition it can block access to adult sites as well as performing anti-virus scanning on all downloads. GFI WebMonitor is the perfect solution to transparently exercise a degree of access control over users’ browsing habits and ensure legal compliance – in a manner that will not alienate your network users!
