MX Perimeter Defense helps to extend the life of your on-premises anti-spam solution by eliminating over 50% of spam before it can even enter your network. Because MX Perimeter Defense sits outside your network, it is an ideal first line of defense that rapidly identifies and denies all known spammer IP addresses so they never even make it to your on-premises solution. Over-tapped appliances will immediately be relieved of bandwidth usage and become more effective.
A simple, inexpensive managed service add-on with no upfront hardware or software to implement, MX Perimeter Defense protects your network through the following sophisticated managed service process:
- After redirecting a customer’s mail exchange (MX) record to MX Logic, all inbound messages will be compared against an extensive Threat database of known spammer IP addresses. This Threat database is compiled and continually updated by the MX Logic® Threat Center, based on a 24x7 analysis of worldwide email traffic and third-party real-time blackhole lists (RBLs).
- Messages will also be filtered through our proprietary WormTraq® worm and virus detection engine, which rapidly identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms and viruses before they can enter a corporate network.
- By pointing a customer’s MX record to MX Logic, the business can conceal its Internet-facing mail servers and remove the threat of anonymous connections, protecting the customer from Directory Harvest Attacks (DHAs), Denial of Service (DoS) and attachment .zip bombs (messages that contain heavily-compressed or nested .zip files).
- If a message includes a sending IP address found in the MX Logic Threat database or is found to contain a virus or worm, delivery will be denied and the connection will be immediately dropped prior to the message entering the customer’s network.
