BitDefender Technologies

All BitDefender products include B-HAVE, a patent pending technology which analyzes the behavior of potentially malicious codes, inside a virtual computer, eliminating false positives and significantly increasing detection rates for new and unknown malware.

Image Spam Filter
BitDefender offers a more accurate image filter which, instead of analyzing the text within image spam messages, learns the common characteristics of those images in point of color content and proportions. The result: less false positives and lower spam traffic.
To better deal with new spam, the BitDefender Lab has created NeuNet, a powerful antispam filter. Inside the Antispam Lab, NeuNet is pre- trained on a series of spam messages so that it learns to recognize new spam by perceiving its similarities with the messages it has already examined.

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.

Core Functionalities

Blocks Infected Messages
BitDefender Security for Exchange fights e-mail-borne malware by filtering and blocking messages that carry a virus, spyware, trojan, backdoor or other potentially dangerous active codes.

Optimized for Exchange
The product is deeply integrated with MS Exchange using its VSAPI technology. It offers advanced e-mail filtering without affecting server performance or the e-mail traffic.

Enhanced Protection
Organizations with several mail servers can have a gateway server that receives mail directly from the Internet and distributes it to the other servers. Messages routed by the gateway Exchange Server 2003 are scanned at transport level by BitDefender Security for Exchange so that the mail reaching users of the internal servers is free from malware. As a result, internal server resources are saved and the entire messaging environment is provided with an additional defense layer.

Safe Messaging Environment - NEW
The SMTP Service integrated filter blocks threats before they can enter/leave the Exchange server. Mails are scanned at the point they enter/leave the server so that the messaging environment is free from malware at all times. This type of protection has a wider span as it also keeps the external recipients of the filtered mail (customers, partners, friends) safe from malware. The product is light on mail server resources and the inbound or outbound mail traffic poses no threat at all for the messaging environment of your company or of your partners' company.

Highly Efficient Antispam Filtering - NEW
Connection and protocol filters such as the Allow/Deny IP List and Sender Black List are just two instances of the product's multi-layered antispam protection system. E- mails that pass first level filters undergo content analysis at the central dispatcher, which decides what product filters to use so as to accurately classify messages as spam, phishing or legitimate.

Proactive Phishing Detection - NEW
The anti-phishing technology detects illegal attempts to copy the "look and feel" of authentic messages intended to trick the user into sending confidential data to a particular recipient.

Spyware protection - NEW
A comprehensive signature database and heuristic spyware detection help protect against spyware and avoid the theft of confidential and valuable data.

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.

Real-time Blackhole List Filter - NEW
The RBL filter identifies spam based on mail servers' reputation as spam senders.

Bayesian Antispam Filter - NEW
Users can train the Bayesian Filter to identify spam by allowing it to learn to discern between spam and legit mail based on specific examples from their mailboxes.

Configurable Antispam Filter Sensitivity
The administrator can adapt the antispam filter's sensitivity by setting very demanding or relaxed thresholds for each user group.

User and Group Policies - NEW
Antivirus, antispam, content and attachment filtering policies can be defined for different users and groups, allowing system administrators to filter mail traffic in a more flexible manner.

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.

Automatic Redirection of Spam to Junk Folder
The Exchange SCL integration along with MS Intelligent Message Filter allows spam mails to be redirected to the Exchange 2003 user's Junk Folder.

Increased Usability

Reports and Statistics - NEW
A comprehensive database related to the product's activity allows generating detailed statistics and reports to help system administrators monitor the mail server.

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 Exchange is compatible with BitDefender Enterprise Manager, allowing organizations to centrally manage antivirus protection and security policies inside complex networks.

Instant Warning Messages
If a virus is detected, detailed warning messages are instantaneously sent to the network security and management staff.

Quarantine Management - NEW
Dangerous or restricted mails going through the antivirus, antispam, content and attachment filtering modules can be isolated in a quarantine zone where the system administrator can deal with them at will.

Services

Advanced Update System
For permanent server protection, the product receives the latest updates and patches based on four configurable technologies: on-demand, scheduled, automatic and pushed.

Update Pushing
BitDefender Security for Exchange can be configured to initiate an update upon receipt of a specially crafted "update announcement" message from BitDefender Lab (subscription service).

Product Update - NEW
Product fixes and enhancements can be downloaded automatically. Alerts are sent upon the release of new versions and the administrator can decide when to install them.

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. This is supplemented by an online database with answers to Frequently Asked Questions and fixes for common issues.
