BitDefender Technologies
At the core of all BitDefender products is B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments). In addition to traditional signature detection and content-based heuristic methods, B-HAVE implements behavior-based heuristics. By emulating a virtual computer-inside-a-computer where pieces of software are run and checked for potential malicious behavior, B-HAVE virtually eliminates false positives and significantly increases detection rates for new and unknown malware. This proprietary BitDefender technology represents a new security layer that keeps the operating system safe from unknown viruses by detecting malicious pieces of code for which signatures have not yet been released.
Certified Antivirus Engines
BitDefender’s award winning scan engines featuring the B-HAVE technology have been recognized by leading certification bodies to provide the most proactive antivirus protection available. The BitDefender Antivirus scan engines are certified by ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin and Checkmark.
UNIX-Based Platforms
Core Functionalities
MTA Integration System
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers offers dedicated agents for several of the most popular mail transfer agents (Sendmail, Courier, qmail and CommuniGate Pro). Due to its SMTP proxy agent, the product can be used with other MTAs (such as Exim or Dmail) as well, or when the filtering process is done separately from the running Mail Server. The SMTP proxy agent also gives access to features such as connection count limiting, trusted networks and relay domain limitations.
Highly Efficient Antispam Filters
Each message is analyzed on-the-fly by the central dispatcher, which then decides (based on the message characteristics) which of the product’s 7 powerful filters to use. When the dispatcher has built enough confidence, it labels the message as spam, phishing or legitimate.
WBL (White List/ Blacklist) Support
The administrator can set a list of trusted and untrusted addresses based on which to respectively "always accept" or "always reject" mail.
Proactive Phishing Detection
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers uses anti-phishing technology to detect illegal attempts to copy the “look and feel” of authentic messages, as well as the disguises and the forgeries used to persuade the user to send confidential data to a particular recipient.
NeuNet Spam Filter
In order to better deal with new spam, the BitDefender Lab has created the Neural Network (NeuNet) filter which will identify new spam based on the similarity (very subtle, at times) between new messages and the ones the filter was pre-trained on.
Configurable Antispam Filter Sensitivity
The administrator can adapt the antispam filter’s sensitivity by setting very demanding or relaxed thresholds for each group of users.
User and Group Management
Besides a generic set of rules for the entire mail traffic, administrators will be able to configure different antivirus and antispam actions for each group of users so that large companies and ISPs are provided with scalable and flexible protection.
SNMP Support
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers works with SNMP-based monitoring and management systems. The SNMP Logger plug-in can send virus and administration alerts to three different hosts. The SNMP Daemon Plug-in allows performing product management actions such as triggering the update process or restarting the product.
Increased Usability
Intuitive Management Interface
BitDefender Remote Admin
This management tool for UNIX-based product helps remotely configure any settings in a single interface and check the current status of the product (detailed statistics and update information).
BDSAFE (The BitDefender Swiss Army KniFE)
This management tool is the command line interface which allows performing post-install configuration and administration tasks.
Compatibility and Flexibility
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers is flexible and configurable up to its smallest detail. It fully complies with FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) and its Rpm, deb and generic .tar.run packages ensure its compatibility with all major UNIX-based products.
Reports and Statistics
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers can send customizable e-mail notifications or SNMP alerts about its activity: number of scanned, disinfected, deleted, infected or filtered files. The statistics module displays information about current and past activity in a convenient rrd- based graph or chart format
Windows- Based Platforms
Core Functionalities
IP Match
E-mails with spoofed headers no longer fool the White List filter because each e-mail domain is matched to a particular IP address so that messages with non- matching IP addresses are rejected.
Antispam Heuristic Analysis Technology
The heuristic filter performs a set of tests on all message components, (i.e. not only the header, but also the message body in either HTML or text format), looking for words, phrases or links which are common to spam.
WBL (White List / Blacklist) Support
The administrator can set a list of trusted and untrusted addresses based on which to respectively "always accept" or "always reject" mail.
Content Filtering
The product filters and blocks messages by subject line, message body, attachment, sender or recipient. Filtering rules within the database can be modified and saved as default by the IT manager at any time, according to the necessary security policies.
Optimized Scanning
The scanning of multiple recipient e-mails is done only once, before delivery, instead of being repeated for each separate recipient.
Secures Infected or Suspected Files
Infected or suspected files are isolated in quarantine zones, the content of which can be analyzed at any time by the IT manager or can be sent for analysis to the BitDefender Antivirus Lab.
Increased Usability
Instant Warning Messages
If a virus is detected, detailed warning messages are instantaneously sent to the network security and management staff.
Remote Management
Server protection can be remotely configured by simply installing the management console on one computer inside the network.
Centralized Management
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers is compatible with BitDefender Enterprise Manager, allowing organizations to centrally manage antivirus protection and security policies inside complex networks.
Detailed Reports and Statistics
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers comes with a separate report module which provides daily, weekly or monthly statistics, organized by categories, which can be generated and viewed in the administration console.
Services
Advanced Update System
Server traffic protection is kept up- to-date due to the latest updates and patches your BitDefender product receives based on three configurable technologies: on-demand, automatic and pushed.
Update Pushing
The latest virus signatures are “pushed” to your servers the second they become available instead of waiting for the next scheduled update, further reducing the threat presented by new viruses.
Upgrades
Registered users benefit from free upgrades to any new version of the product during the license period. Special price offers are also available to returning customers.
Free 24/7 Professional Technical Support
Certified representatives provide BitDefender business customers with free permanent support online, by telephone or e-mail. The professional technical support is supplemented by an online database with answers to Frequently Asked Questions and fixes for common issues.
