Sophos Email Protection—Advanced
The right tool for the right job
Have you ever wondered if you’re better off
with gateway or mail server protection?
We say you need both, for good reasons.
Gateway and mail server protection Choose our
email appliances to protect your sensitive data and
block incoming spam before it hits your mail servers.
Combine this with protection on your Exchange or
Domino server and be confident that your internal email
isn’t distributing malware or nasty content as well.
Having Gateway and mail server protection doesn’t have to
cost more — pair one of our secure mail gateway products
with one of our mail server products in the same license.
