Flexible and simple

In managing email, the Lotus Protector for Mail Security solution allows you to define conditions upon which to take action when met. Called rules, they can be defined very broadly or very narrowly to help give you the right amount of control you need over the content that flows through your network.

Defining rules within the Lotus Protector for Mail Security solution is a simple as specifying

1. To whom the rule applies, either an individual, group or domain and then choosing as a sender or a recipient of email
2. The time period at which the rule is to be applied
3. The type of analysis to perform on email, by selecting from over 20 included modules that each analyze a different element of email content
4. One of over ten different actions to perform when the conditions are met, such as to block email from a specified sender

You can easily manage the rules you define with the Lotus Protector for Mail Security solution through an easy to use web based administration console, a single point of access for defining the operating attributes of the solution. You access the solution through one interface, even when deploying a clustered environment.

You can also help protect your employees from phishing using the phishing analysis module. Often times, spam can appear as email from legitimate businesses, requesting personal information such as credit card, bank account, and social security numbers. The Lotus Protector for Mail Security solution can analyze and identify suspected fraudulent email, and alert recipients to the potential threat.
