Multi-layered anti-malware capabilities

• Improved! Advanced antivirus engine – cloud-assisted via the Kaspersky Security Network

  Kaspersky Security for Linux Mail Server includes the latest version of Kaspersky’s award-winning anti-malware engine. Furthermore, it receives real-time information from the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) – so you benefit from a Linux mail server antivirus solution that delivers even better performance in detecting and removing malicious attachments from incoming emails including exploits, unknown and advanced malware.

• New! Web malicious URL filter – cloud-assisted via the Kaspersky Security Network

  With real-time updates from the cloud, Kaspersky’s Web malicious URL filter blocks emails that include links to infected sites or malicious files.

Anti-spam and content filtering

• Improved! Anti-spam engine

  Kaspersky’s anti-spam engine includes two powerful technologies:

  Enforced Anti-Spam Updates Service (EASUS) – which uses push technology, directly from the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network, to deliver real-time updates. By reducing the ‘update window’ from 20 minutes to less than 1 minute, EASUS helps to protect against Zero-Hour spam and spam epidemics.
