| Blocking global
email attacks at the network perimeter MX Logic® Email
Attack Protection
Overview
Today, spammers are writing code and developing complex tools
that take advantage of the universal openness of email. Although
new attacks can easily bypass typical email filtering mechanisms
and capture information about end users, businesses can be protected
by incorporating MX Logic Email Attack Protection.
Email Attack Protection from MX Logic provides real-time monitoring
and analysis of incoming messaging traffic, conceals critical messaging
gateways and shields groupware email servers from these SMTP-based
attacks. By pointing your Mail Exchange (MX) record to our SecureMX,
you can conceal your Internet-facing mail servers and remove the
threat of anonymous connections.
With MX Logic's unique MX record masking technique, malicious
traffic is identified and quarantined at the network perimeter to
ensure that your network is protected from directory harvest attacks,
denial of service attacks, mail bombs, and channel flooding - attacks
that can debilitate even the largest email systems.
Available as part of our comprehensive email defense solution,
Email Attack Protection is critical to overall network protection.
A Closer Look
Like a double-edged sword, email has opened the lines of communications
for businesses across the globe, but its openness and accessibility
has also made businesses vulnerable to a new breed of threats.
Concealing the email network
Directory harvest attacks, denial of service attacks, mail bombs,
and channel flooding are sophisticated email intrusion techniques
that spammers use to capture information about end users. Because
these tools can easily bypass the typical email filter to create
chaos and network damage, Email Attack Protection from MX Logic
provides real-time monitoring and analysis of incoming messaging
traffic, conceals critical messaging gateways and shields groupware
email servers from attack.
A simple redirection of your MX record
By pointing your mail exchange (MX) record to our SecureMX, our
unique MX record masking technique conceals your Internet-facing
mail servers and removes the threat of anonymous connections. With
MX Logic, malicious traffic is identified and quarantined at the
network perimeter to ensure that the network is protected from attacks
that can debilitate even the largest email systems.
Prevent Directory Harvest Attacks
MX Logic Email Attack Protection can defend your business network
against directory harvest attacks (DHAs), which methodically bombard
email servers with messages by using common name pairs or email
address patterns, or uses "brute force" to run through alphanumeric
combinations to identify valid addresses. Our solution blocks DHAs
at the network perimeter to prevent spammers from gaining information
about the validity of random email addresses used to target businesses
for future attacks.
Blocking Denial of Service attacks
Denial of service (DoS) attacks are particularly stealthy because
while they are designed to elude detection by masquerading as legitimate
transactions, the intent is to launch them on a massive scale to
overwhelm unprotected networks. When MX Logic detects the excessive
SMTP "chatter" associated with DoS attacks, it limits the connections
it will allow from the attacking IP address, throttling back the
traffic and effectively stopping the attack.
