Gateway Intelligence with User-Aware Pre-Authentication
VOP modusGate SE provides gateway intelligence that features unique user-aware pre-authentication. Once a message is received by VOP modusGate SE, it connects to the mail server to verify that the user exists before scanning the message for viruses and spam. If the user does not exist, VOP modusGate SE simply rejects the message without having to accept it. When combined with an integrated cache of authenticated users, this provides maximum system performance.

VOP modusGate SE protects up to 50 mailboxes, and is compatible with ANY mail server, including Microsoft® Exchange® and Lotus Notes®. The gateway is deployed safely outside your corporate firewall through a single connection, effectively enhancing your server's security. Furthermore, easy deployment and administration make VOP modusGate SE the optimal solution to your firm's anti-virus and anti-spam needs!

World Class 24/7 anti-VIRUS Protection
Corporations must be increasingly concerned with virus protection, given the growing number of virus attacks on systems everywhere. The Klez virus has recently been named the biggest virus ever, affecting an estimated one in every three hundred emails, with 775,000 copies surfacing thus far. Such facts make ensuring system security an absolute necessity, regardless of a firm's size. Doing so requires purchasing a solution which provides first-class virus protection.

VOP modusGate SE is powered by Norman Data Defense, which consistently rates as one of the top award-winning developers in the detection and removal of viruses. To date, Norman has earned the Virus Bulletin 100% Award 16 times since 1998. The Virus Bulletin award is given to products that detect 100% of "in the wild" viruses in test samplings offered by Virus Bulletin, a leading independent testing facility based in the U.K.

VOP modusGate's superior virus protection includes 24/7 auto-updates from Vircom, scanning of inbound and outbound messages and caching of scan results for optimal performance. It also provides administrator-defined notification messages and options, and the ability to move infected files to quarantine and block attachments by extension.

Quarantine Safety Zones
To further enhance your system's security, VOP modusGate SE has virus and spam quarantines integrated into one console. This allows you to safely view all virus-infected emails in one quarantine and view spam tagged by category in another quarantine. The result is greater control over what goes in and out of the system. It also includes a release feature which allows messages intercepted in error to be forwarded to the intended recipient.

Multi-Layered Anti-SPAM Defense
Corporate mailboxes everywhere must contend with countless junk email messages, otherwise known as SPAM. Not only is spam irritating, it clogs firm's mail servers and severely impacts server performance, and potentially allows viruses to enter the system. Furthermore, spam affects worker productivity, as employees must spend increasing amounts of time sorting through numerous email messages every day. Thus, finding the optimal anti-spam solution has become a top priority for businesses wishing to improve both system and overall firm productivity.

VOP modusGate SE has additional tools to fix your firm's spam problems, using a multi-layered anti-spam defense with advanced POP/IMAP & SMTP security options. This approach prevents unauthorized use of the gateway, blocks scan attacks, and enforces authentication of users sending email via the mail server. VOP modusGate SE also blocks messages based on real-time blacklists, limits the number of simultaneous connections, and rejects connections from specified addresses or IPs.

24/7 Sieve-Based SPAM Filtering
VOP modusGate SE leverages the full flexibility of Sieve to filter unwanted emails. Sieve is a proposed Internet language standard for mail filtering scripting. At the core, it is a simple, yet powerful programming language tailor-made for mail filtering and provides unrivalled flexibility to discriminate between genuine messages and unsolicited bulk email. With Sieve, administrators may write powerful spam filters and deploy them on their system at the click of a button. Vircom also provides automatic updates to its own Sieve scripts compiled by Vircom's team of "Spambusters". This team of experts continuously tracks all forms of unsolicited email found throughout the Internet and provide customers auto-updated access to newly built scripts to ensure they are protected at all times without lifting a finger.

VASC
The Vircom VOP Anti-Spam Coalition is a cooperative network between Vircom and a growing coalition of ISP and enterprise customers who have registered in an international campaign to fight against unsolicited bulk email, otherwise known as Spam. VASC members share and exchange newly developed, enhanced and validated Sieve scripts which are centralized and re-distributed 24/7 by Vircom in the most efficient and timely manner.

VASC is a far more superior and effective concept to fight spam than what is offered today by other AS vendors. In the month of May alone, Vircom has caught over 7 million spam, demonstrating the exceptional performance of Vircom solutions and the effectiveness of the VASC community.
