FireEye Email Threat Prevention Cloud with Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam

The FireEye Email Threat Prevention Cloud is a SaaS offering that protects organizations against today's advanced email attacks, email based spam, and viruses. With no hardware or software to install, Email Threat Prevention Cloud is a particularly good fit for organizations already moving their overall infrastructure into the cloud. To start protecting against malicious emails, organizations need to simply route messages to the Email Threat Prevention Cloud. The cloud then filters the email through its anti-spam and anti-virus engine to perform the basic hygiene and uses the signature-less FireEye Multi-vector Virtual Execution (MVX) engine to analyze every attachment and URL to detect threats and stop APT attacks in real time.

Rather than relying on only signatures or reputations - which are insufficient against today's fast-moving, constantly changing threats - FireEye Email Threat Prevention Cloud analyzes emails and their attachments in a two-stage approach. In the first stage the incoming emails are analyzed through a cloud-based anti-spam, anti-virus engine. The second stage involves email attachment and URL analysis within the purpose-built FireEye MVX engine and generates threat intelligence that enables organizations to protect against the APT attack. Email Threat Prevention Cloud enables organizations to quarantine emails containing spam and known viruses. It also allows quarantine of spear-phishing emails, identifies other recipients of the malicious email, and via integration with the FireEye NX series blocks related data exfiltration communications over multiple protocols like HTTP or IRC. FireEye Email Threat Prevention Cloud also leverages the FireEye ecosystem by exchanging threat intelligence through the FireEye Dynamic Threat Intelligence (DTI) cloud.
