WebMail Architecture
WebMail Architecture allows administrators to offer access to corporate e-mail systems using a standard Web browser, including Microsoft Outlook Web Access, Lotus Domino Web Access and Novell GroupWise Web Access. Integrating a high-performance proxy with secure access technology, intelligent analysis tools and an array of attack detection and blocking capabilities, allows WebMail Architecture to provide protected access to enterprise e-mail users any time, from anywhere in the world.
Multiple Layers of Protection
- Unified policy enforcement at the gateway addresses all e-mail threats, including viruses, hackers, worms, intruders, spam and libelous content
- Scrutinizes and controls all HTTP and HTTPS proxy connections to block attacks such as denial of service or buffer overflow attacks
- Secure appliance platform presents a hardened face to the Internet and protects the entire e-mail system
- Contains over 500 signatures to identify known attacks
- Secures logon and logoff to prevent unauthorized access to e-mail boxes when accessed from public browsers or Internet kiosks
- Applies protocol analysis to detect path obfuscation attempts, such as Unicode and hex encoding
- Allows access only for defined URLs blocking directory traversals
- SSL support allows full inspection of both encrypted and unencrypted message traffic

WebMail Architecture - Key Features
Secure Proxy
Integrating a high-performance proxy, IronMail's WebMail Architecture ensures a maximum level of scrutiny for web mail traffic. The appliance's high-performance engine enables secure access and increased server productivity by ensuring that only valid requests reach the server.
Secure Logon
WebMail Architecture integrates network logon and web server logon into a single sign-on, protecting the user name and password. The appliance supports strong client authentication and leverages existing authentication infrastructures, including RSA SecureID to stop non-authenticated user traffic from reaching the internal network.
Secure Sessions
WebMail Architecture automatically closes HTTP sessions, ensuring that users are logged out at the application level once they click logoff and that credentials are not cached on a local machine. By requiring user authentication, IronMail prevents future attempts to access the web mail system.
Detect Unknown Attacks
WebMail Architecture can stop anomalous connection requests that may contain a threat. Using secure access technology, IronMail blocks buffer overflow, thwarts directory traversals, prevents URL roaming and denies malformed HTTP requests.
Detect Known Attacks
WebMail Architecture provides a real-time intrusion detection engine that identifies and stops more than 700 types of known web attacks based on signature detection. Using detailed protocol analysis, WebMail Architecture examines every connection request and detects Unicode, hex coding and double hex encoding that obscure attacks.
