Vulnerability Protection
Vulnerabilities are security weaknesses or flaws in a program. As they relate to
email security, there are two types of vulnerabilities: Email Client Vulnerabilities
and Email Server Vulnerabilities.
Your Email Filter Can’t Offer True Email Server Anti-Virus Protection
Vulnerability laden emails are mal-formed messages that take advantage of the email
client or servers weakness. Typical email virus protection scanning can generally
catch email client vulnerabilities; however, it is oblivious to the server’s
email vulnerability. Therefore, vulnerability laden messages can allow viruses to
bypass email server anti-virus scanning altogether.
They do this in a number of ways, but primarily they allow a virus to hide in the
headers of a message during scanning yet become visible to the email client. In
many cases, these mal-formed messages can also allow the virus to run on the user’s
workstation without any intervention from the user, and certainly no detection by
their email filter.
Email Virus Protection is Useless Without Vulnerability Detection
Because of the completely undeterminable payload of vulnerability-laden messages
and the potential threat level, Mailprotector treats vulnerabilities as viruses
and destroys them.
Mailprotector is one of the very few Email Security Applications on the market today
that includes this vital level of protection.
After a message has been scanned by our vulnerability detection systems, it is then
handed off to our anti-virus scanning engines.
