Compliance

Comply With Ease
The Webroot Encryption Service helps you comply with data and regulatory compliance requirements by securing email communications that may contain intellectual property, sensitive customer information, financial records or other internal privacy data.

As a standard part of the email service, Webroot offers a managed encryption service that provides Transport Layer Security (TLS). This transparent mechanism encrypts data on a peer-to-peer basis, such as between messaging servers. Users can quickly and easily encrypt private, confidential and sensitive emails, along with any attachments, with the assurance these communications can be decrypted only by intended recipients.

Each license for this service allows an unlimited number of encrypted emails to be sent, assuring timely business communications and no service outages.

Integrate Compliance Dictionaries
The Webroot content scanning engine includes integrated, customised compliance dictionaries and templates to help you design content control policies to meet industry and regulatory standards such as HIPPA, GLBA, PCI and others. You can create rules to scan outbound email content using these dictionaries to prevent against data loss and to ensure company compliance.

Acquire Enhanced Data Loss Protection
Webroot Deep Content Scanning provides enhanced data loss protection (DLP) by scanning inbound and outbound email file attachments. One of the leading threats to network security is exposure of confidential information and data loss via corporate email communications. Webroot mitigates this risk by:

* Inspecting content embedded within file attachments
* Providing remediation according to company email policy
* Extending the integrated compliance lexicon into file attachment scanning to strengthen company compliance and regulatory practices and to enhance data loss protection capabilities

Security

Gain 100 Percent Protection
Webroot incorporates more virus engines than any other email security solution. Multiple best-of-breed signature engines deliver guaranteed 100 percent protection against known viruses. Additional zero-hour and heuristic filters identify new and unknown viruses with minimal impact on scan time and service delivery.

Block Spam Efficiently
Webroot focuses on connection management and integration of best-of-breed filters to block 98 percent of all spam with the lowest possible rate of false positives.

Protect Against Backscatter
Backscatter occurs when a spammer spoofs a legitimate email address to send an unsolicited message to large distribution lists. This causes the email server to flood an unsuspecting email address owner’s mailbox with hundreds or thousands of failed delivery messages. Webroot employs an advanced technique called Bounce Address Tag Validation (BATV) that provides robust protection for your business:

* Every sent message is marked with a timestamp and unique cryptographic signature that cannot be duplicated.
* Failed delivery messages that do not reference this signature are marked as spam and blocked from entering the user’s mailbox.

Stop Pornographic Images
Webroot’s Image Filter analyses and blocks distasteful email attachments that can cause user distress and lead to corporate liability. Neutralise Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks

DDoS attacks on mail servers can disrupt a company’s email communications. When email traffic is routed through Webroot Email Security SaaS, the attacks are neutralised before they reach the network.

Terminate Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA)
Spammers use DHAs in an attempt to locate valid email addresses by guessing permutations of common user names and attaching the domain name. Webroot’s service transparently consumes these emails instead of publicly rejecting them. Your organisation is protected from DHA threats and divulgence of email addresses.

Continuity

Enable Seamless, Uninterrupted Email
In the event of an internal mail server outage or other disaster, the Webroot Business Continuity service enables company email access via a Webmail portal to ensure seamless email communication. You receive up to 28 days of inbound and outbound email thanks to secure, mirrored data stores. Because the portal is Web based, users can send and receive email from any browser worldwide, thereby ensuring your business won’t lose important business communication during periods of downtime.

Enhance Every Aspect of Archiving
The Webroot Managed Archiving Service is a scalable, off-site email data archive that helps you better manage storage costs, retain company records, and meet data security and compliance requirements. Regardless of email platform, the Webroot Managed Archiving Service guarantees security, data integrity and availability:

* Inbound, outbound and internal email communications are encrypted, indexed, stored and replicated real-time within Webroot’s Global Security Network.
* Authorized users can administer the service via a secure Web control panel and set data retention policies to fit internal guidelines and requirements.
* Audit logs capture data archive access based on user, date, time and requested content. Logs and reports can be accessed and searched via the Web control panel to view access history and potential violations.

Management

Create and Enforce Policies
Webroot Email Security SaaS utilises a powerful and customisable rules engine to create and enforce content- and event-based email policies. End users and administrators can determine how messages are handled and how reports are designed based on the following criteria:

* Inbound and outbound traffic management
* LDAP integration to facilitate end-user management
* Protection of valuable intellectual property
* Custom and granular filtering based on: Groups, individuals, email 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

Track Messages
Audit logs are created for every email sent to or from your organisation. You can search for email based on date, time, sender, recipient, subject and email type or size. Legislation-compliant audit records accurately display status of any email along with transmission handshakes with sending or receiving mail servers.

Compile Data for Reporting and Logging
A highly efficient data collection process ensures that data is compiled across all domains within the system on an hourly basis and made available real time. Customisable reports can be scheduled or generated rapidly on an as needed basis through the Web interface.
