SecureTide™Spam and Virus Protection

Step 1. Perimeter Protection
SecureTide™ intercepts messages before they reach the clients infrastructure to prevent high impact attacks such as Denial of Service (DOS) and Directory Harvesting programs from stealing email processing resources.

Step 2. Redundant Server Set
SecureTide™ uses an array of redundant servers to ensure that at least one server will always be available to deliver mail. Each server set is equipped with AppRiver's proprietary Spam detection system that utilizes more than 60 types of filtering techniques. All servers also contain multiple anti-virus engines and proprietary detection systems that rid incoming email of worms, viruses, phishing attempts and other protocol-based vulnerabilities.

Step 3. Virus Scanning
In today's world, viruses are the favorite tool used by spammers to enable the mass delivery of spam. AppRiver uses three anti-virus engines which are updated every 10 minutes to ensure the signature databases are current. AppRiver's own wave-front detection system is used to identify and block unknown viruses providing an extra layer of virus protection. Emails that fail any of the anti-virus tests are routed to the Virus Quarantine for review by the system administrators.
