 The Vanishing Perimeter

There used to be a network perimeter. You knew that your internal network was inside the perimeter, and anything outside of the perimeter was part of the Internet. You could assume that devices on your internal network were safe and that they could be trusted, while any device from outside of the perimeter was suspect and potentially malicious.

 

Those days are gone. Now you have mobile phones with entire operating systems on them that connect to the network and email systems. The perimeter goes where they go. It is hard to define internal and external when you have an executive with a mobile phone exchanging instant messages with the accounting department, or a sales manager in a coffee shop across town reading his email on his mobile phone. The security you have in place to protect your network from malicious code needs to take the vanishing perimeter and increasingly mobile workforce into account.


Protecting Your Mobile Devices

eSafe MCSG places a gateway between the Internet and the cellular provider's network. Every smartphone that connects to the cellular provider's network receives their MMS messages and browses the Internet after traffic is inspected by eSafe MCSG. This includes MMS messages and attached files, all SMTP email messages, as well as WAP and HTTP content. eSafe's multilayered security approach provides comprehensive protection against mobile content security threats, such as viruses for handheld devices and email-borne spam and phishing.

The list of features on eSafe MCSG is extensive and includes:

  • 100% detection of all in the wild (ITW) mobile viruses, Trojan horses, and worms
  • Proactive detection of variants of known mobile code virus families using advanced heuristics - before an update is available
  • Detection of Symbian OS, J2ME, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Palm OS and other mobile OS viruses
  • MMS content inspection for MM1, MM3, MM4 and MM7
  • Custom malicious code detection engine optimized for MMS (MM1/MM7)
  • Multilayered antispam for inbound and outbound email (MM3/MM4)
  • Proactive phishing protection for email-borne (MM3/MM4) phishing emails
  • Highly scalable from hundreds of thousands to millions of subscribers
  • Very high throughput: 30-50Mbps, 1,500-2,000 sessions / second (per blade)
  • Over 30 MMS messages processed per second (per blade)
  • Built-in load-balancing and fail-over
  • Outbreak Sentry™ system for MMS and mobile Internet traffic to monitor for real-time monitoring of new emerging threat outbreaks
  • 24x7 security services with timely updates for newly discovered mobile malicious code

This tighter integration can result in enhanced security, more efficient processing, reduced redundant message handling, and better reporting and monitoring. Integrated turnkey solutions can add value and a competitive edge over the standard solution.
