This month GFI released the latest version of its email content security solution, GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP. Version 9 provides administrators with greater ease of use and highly reduced maintenance requirements while retaining the product?s proven multi-layered defense system. GFI MailSecurity 9 helps administrators ensure that their email servers are secure and efficient with a minimal amount of effort through new features such as quarantine filters, search options and web-based configuration.

?With its multi-tiered protection, multiple virus engines, email exploit engine, Trojan engine, and more, GFI MailSecurity offers high level email security without compromising performance. The latest version extends GFI MailSecurity?s operational power: Version 9?s advanced quarantine filters and rules make administering the product a snap. Its enhanced efficiency, coupled with its solid lines of defense, grants administrators additional time to focus on other tasks rather than having to be glued to their email security solution,? explained David Vella, GFI Product Manager.

The latest version of GFI MailSecurity enables administrators to configure a series of search folders (similar to the Microsoft Outlook Search Folders) within the product?s ?Quarantine Store?, enabling them to manage quarantined emails better and faster. For example, a folder can be set up for emails related to a particular user that were quarantined by virus checking and another for that same user?s emails quarantined by attachment checking, allowing administrators to prioritize which folders they check first.

Version 9 also provides the facility to conduct searches within all emails that it quarantines. Such searches can be performed among inbound or outbound emails to or from a particular user, for instance.

A new web-based configuration allows administrators to configure and monitor the product remotely from any computer that is equipped with a browser ? enabling the monitoring and management of GFI MailSecurity from anywhere in the world!
