TFS Secure Messaging

TFS Secure Messaging allows your company to get total control of email and web communication in and out of the organization in a safe way. Located between a company's LAN and the Internet, Secure Server acts as a messaging firewall and is completely transparent to the email user. The email security components include encryption, authentication, key management, access control, tracking, archiving, virus scanning and filtering.

TFS Secure Messaging consists of three major parts that together create the concept of Secure Messaging:

TFS Administrator is used at the setup of the Server. All user information and email system settings are setup here. Administration and maintenance can also be performed in this program.

TFS Secure Messaging Manager is used when remote administration shall be performed. Every setting for the users, groups, email system, Internet etc. can be monitored and administered from any Web browser. Also the security functions, like encryption, content filtering and web access control, are configured using TFS Secure Messaging Manager.

TFS Secure Messaging Server is the Server motor. It processes all emails and converts the messages and attachments into the correct format for the recipient. Virus scanning, mailback, directory synchronization, encryption, content filtering and web access control and other functions are also performed by TFS Secure Messaging Server.

This solution allows for such complete customization that individual departments within a company can specifically identify and set-up the degree of messaging security that is needed. It is easy to install and administrate. Using a unique combination of features, Secure Server takes a look at the sender, receiver and message content of an inbound or outbound email message and performs any or all of it's email security functions.

Web Access Control Virtual Private Network Virus Scanning Tracking Archiving

Filtering - email can be filtered by sender, receiver, domain name, IP Address, key words within the content of the email text, attachment size, attachment type and mail flow.

Location Filtering - Prevents documents from being sent to or received from a specified address.

Key Management - All keys and certificates are stored at the server level and new keys are automatically added.

Encryption - Offers both OpenPGP and S/MIME capabilities and messages are automatically encrypted/decrypted at the server.

Authentication/Digital Signature - Verifies the authenticity of the sender to ensure confidentiality and prevent spoofing.

Web Access Control - Allows companies the same control of web sites that it has over email.

Virtual Private Networking - Creates a messaging VPN using the Internet or other public networks.

Virus Scanning - Automatically checks all text and attached files of both inbound and outbound email.

Tracking - Logs inbound and outbound mail according to sender, receiver and locations including attachments and attachment size.

Archiving - Messages may be archived by sender, receiver or content to avoid storage and search problems.

Relying on individual users to adhere to messaging security policies and procedures is not the most effective way of ensuring secure email. Individuals forget to adjust security settings and well over half of the current instances of security breaches are cause by staff members. By handling comprehensive email security tasks centrally at the server, policies and procedures can be controlled and monitored for the safety and security of the entire enterprise.
