Kaspersky Security 6.0 For Exchange Server 2007 Beta Released
Kaspersky Lab has released a beta version of Kaspersky Security 6.0 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The software offers malware protection for mailboxes, public folders, and relayed emails on Exchange servers. Here's the list of features:
Scans and analyzes incoming and outgoing e-mail messages for the presence of malicious objects. This analysis processes the bodies and attachments of e-mail messages. Depending on the settings configured, the application will disinfect or delete malicious objects, or will add a warning message to the e-mail message;
Saves backup copies of the message objects before attempting to disinfect or delete the object (during an anti-virus scan), copies are saved to a special location to enable consequent restoration if necessary. Configurable filters allow easy retrieval of the copied objects;
Notifies the sender, the recipient and the system administrator about messages that contain malicious objects;
Maintains the event log and creates regular reports about the operation of the application, and the status of the anti-virus protection. The application generates reports using templates with a preset level of detail and at a required interval or upon request.
Detects virus outbreaks as they begin, automatically takes required emergency steps and notifies about such events. The application identifies attempts of mass-mailing infected messages both from the Internet and from computers within the corporate network.
Supports configuration of application settings depending on the intensity and the nature of network traffic, as well as the characteristics of the hardware installed (amount of RAM, speed, number of processors, etc.);
Updates the databases of Kaspersky Security (further – databases) either automatically or in manual mode. The databases can be updated from Kaspersky Lab's FTP and HTTP updates servers, or from a lo-cal/network folder that contains the latest set of updates.
Scans old (previously scanned) messages for the presence of new viruses according to a schedule. This task is performed as a background scan and has a small effect on the mail server's performance;
Creates a list of protected storage areas, which offers additional flexibility in regards with license restrictions on the number of protected mailboxes;
Manages license keys.
