Features:

TLS Encryption
Our unique TLS Encryption option ensures the complete confidentiality of email communications and their content. It works by establishing private email networks linking you with your business-critical partners via the use of certificates. Every email sent or received by these networks is fully and securely encrypted while the encryption remains completely transparent to both sender and recipient.

Perimeter Defense
Our Adaptive Threat Detection™ technology provides multi-layered protection at the perimeter from denial of service and other email-borne attacks. Merit-based reputation and real-time analysis of evolving email threats combine to stop the most abusive email attacks and block spam campaigns before they get near your network.

Zero Minute Defense™
EdgeWave Email Security's third generation, behavior-based filtering technology sets a new standard for effectiveness in eliminating unwanted, fraudulent and predatory email with proprietary Zero Minute Defense. We use human review to detect emerging threats, so action can be taken to block them before they get near your email servers. When a threat is identified, our engineers analyze it and immediately create a protection rule to block it. Updates are automatically applied to your hosted service or managed appliance so you stay ahead of current and emerging threats. No other solution on the market matches our speed and efficiency in mitigating email-borne threats in real-time.

End User Spam Management
A Personal Dashboard allows each mailbox owner to refine policies and review quarantined spam. Each user can receive a Spam Digest report, providing visibility into the effectiveness of his or her individual filter profile.

Administrator Management Tools
EdgeWave Email Security solutions incorporate an intuitive Web dashboard that makes managing email security simple. Domain administrators can easily set email filter policy and monitor filter performance from a powerful, graphical interface.

Service and Support by Email Experts
EdgeWave security analysts and networking experts monitor email threats around the clock to insure email service continuity for all our protected domains and users. In addition, our experts are available to assist you with implementation and configuration of your EdgeWave solutions should you need them at any time.

Disaster Recovery
EdgeWave Email Security solutions include 96 hours of disaster recovery protection so business-critical emails are never lost. If disaster strikes or unplanned maintenance is required, we continue to accept incoming email and spool your filtered email for later delivery to your mail server.

Comprehensive Reporting
Our email security solutions include sophisticated reporting tools that provide comprehensive data on both inbound and outbound messages to help you review and manage your organization's email filtering. You can generate aggregate reports across your entire organization or drill-down to individual users. Reporting is flexible and can be generated on-demand or scheduled to run automatically during non-peak hours.

True Hybrid Appliance: Get Built-In Resiliency with Vx Technology™

EdgeWave Email Security (powered by Red Condor) offers exclusive Vx Technology that integrates our local network appliances with our in-the-cloud hosted SaaS solution to deliver an industry first - a comprehensive failover solution that prevents spam attacks from overwhelming your internal servers no matter what the circumstances.

Vx Technology not only improves network performance by offloading pressure on your CPU resources with network load sharing during peak traffic times, It also provides automatic failover.

How VxTechology works
Vx Technology not only improves network performance by offloading pressure on your CPU resources with network load sharing during peak traffic times, it also provides automatic failover. This means that if an email server goes down, or you are subjected to an overwhelming attack, power outage or other failure, your email is automatically re-routed to our hosted service. You never lose an email because we save them for up to 96 hours. Once your network issues are resolved, you will receive your business-critical email, minus spam and other objectionable content just as before.

Continuous Availability is Assured
Malicious email attacks can put excessive demands on computing capacity that can degrade network performance. Being able to offload your email filtering to EdgeWave's hosted email filtering service assures that your legitimate, business-critical email continues to flow. Other vendors address this issue with multiple appliances, which may sit dormant until a problem arises. Only EdgeWave delivers a hybrid solution that seamlessly integrates our appliance and hosted services to provide uninterrupted availability of your critical email security, no matter what internal or external problems you may encounter.

The Only True Hybrid Email Filter
Don't be fooled by email security providers that claim to have a hybrid appliance. Often, you must purchase two solutions - a hosted service for inbound filtering and an onsite appliance for outbound email. Our single deployment model offers seamless integration between appliance and hosted service for both inbound and outbound email filtering, assuring you the most accurate, cost-effective way to enjoy efficient uninterrupted email protection.

Don't Deploy Your Red Condor MAG Appliance without VxTechnology
Although Red Condor VxTechnology is an optional service for managed appliance customers, we strongly recommend that you don't purchase our appliance-based solution without also acquiring our affordable failover protection. No other solution on the market offers seamless failover protection that can free you from concerns that a catastrophic event might jeopardize the safety of your business-critical email.
