How ScanMail Mobile Protects the Microsoft Exchange Environment Parent topic

Trend Micro recognizes the unique dangers posed by security threats to Microsoft Exchange servers. Trend Micro designed ScanMail Mobile to protect Exchange from these numerous and diverse security risks. ScanMail Mobile uses a filtering strategy to protect Exchange. ScanMail Mobile subjects the email message to each filter in the following order:
  1. Device Access Control
  2. Attachment Blocking
  3. Data Loss Prevention
  4. Device Management
  5. Device Exception List
In addition, ScanMail Mobile provides notifications and log queries to assist administrators to monitor and react to security risks.

How ScanMail Mobile Protects the Microsoft Exchange Environment

Feature
Description
Device Access Control
ScanMail Mobile can prevent unauthorized users, devices, and email clients from accessing the Exchange server or specific mail components. Administrators can granularly configure Device Access Control, allowing access to specific users, running specific operating system versions, using specific email clients.
Attachment Blocking
ScanMail Mobile can block undesirable attachments according to administrator-defined types or specific names. During scanning, ScanMail Mobile can replace the detected file with a text message and then deliver the message to the intended recipient.
Data Loss Prevention
ScanMail Mobile can filter content for sensitive information in different message parts based on policies set by the administrator. ScanMail Mobile filters outgoing email messages and can perform specific actions on email messages that contain sensitive information.
Device Management
Device Management allows administrators to configure specific security requirements at the user level and perform automated actions whenever a device does not adhere to the policy parameters. Administrators can configure ScanMail Mobile to lock or wipe devices that violate security rules, or that are lost or stolen.
Device Exception List
ScanMail Mobile provides a device exception list which allows administrators to exclude specific devices from scans. Administrators can create global rules to manage the majority of users and then exclude specific devices, granting greater access to the Exchange server.
Alerts and notifications
ScanMail Mobile can send alerts about outbreaks and significant system events. Outbreak alerts notify administrators when the number of detected security risks exceeds a set number. This enables administrators to react quickly to security breaches in their Exchange environment.
Reports and logs
ScanMail Mobile provides logs and reports to keep administrators informed about the latest security risks and system status. ScanMail Mobile logs significant events such as component updates and scan actions. Administrators can query these events to create log reports providing current and detailed information about the security of the Exchange environment.
ScanMail Mobile can generate reports for system analysis that can be printed or exported.
