Does Your Current Antispam Solution Stop Image Spam? Ninja Does!

Rather than using possibly unpredictable heuristics or computationally expensive optical character recognition, Ninja uses fingerprinting algorithms that generate identities from a single piece of content that also maps to a large number of content variants. Leveraging the power of the Cloudmark's engine, fingerprinting algorithms do not have to understand or distill the pitch from the message. They merely need to extract features from the images that don't change over mutations of the same attack but are sufficiently different from legitimate images to provide a unique identification method. The fingerprint approach works very well for rich formats like images because there is significant data from which features can be extracted.

Tired of Using Separate Products on Your Exchange Server?

Is your business using separate products for antispam, antiphishing, antivirus, attachment filtering, disclaimers, content auditing/filtering, and archiving?

Maybe it's time to switch to an easy to manage, 'all-in-one' integrated and 100% policy-based messaging security product. Ninja Email Security helps you to fight spam, viruses, trojans, phishing, spyware and other messaging security threats like 'zero-day attacks', and at the same time increase Exchange reliability.

Ninja Email Security (released May 2006) is a third generation, policy-based messaging security framework that provides your system admin with an easy to use weapon to enforce email security polices with an iron fist. Ninja protects your network against spam, phishing, viruses and other messaging security threats, and provides you with unparalleled flexibility and reliability at the same time. Redmond Magazine recently tested it, and explains the benefits of having an all-in-one solution with best-of-breed benefits. Read the very positive review here!

"With Ninja I can block inbound zips from the outside only, or if I want, inbound exes from the outside only... by policy! No other email security product allowed me to do that. And Ninja is already VERY helpful in quarantining the attachments that have always gotten past us before" - G.K., System Admininstrator

Considerably Reduced Admin Time and Lower Cost per User.

To understand organisations' perceptions about various email management systems, Sunbelt Software engaged Osterman Research to survey organizations that are using five different email management systems. This white paper presents the results of those findings, comparing Sunbelt Software's Ninja Email Security with an average of the other four systems.

Read this white paper to see how this research has demonstrated that Ninja is rated very highly by users relative to other email management products with which it competes and can be managed at a lower cost per user than other email management systems.

Provides a Layered Security Approach.

Ninja gives you several security layers for message inspection, cleansing and management. By using multiple scanning engines for both spam and viruses, while integrating other messaging security rules, all treatment of messages occurs at the server, not at your end-user's workstation – no client software needed, and all modules play nice together. Ninja is the powerful combination of 'best-of-breed' and 'all-in-one'!

Server-based Disclaimer Functionality.

Ninja's new disclaimer plug-in delivers functionality to include global and user-based disclaimers for all outbound email for Exchange 2000 and 2003. Administrators have the ability to configure policy-based disclaimers based on specific users, groups, domains, or public folders. User-based disclaimers enable users to adjust their disclaimer statements according to a specific user or department. Ninja also prevents multiple disclaimers when replying or forwarding and gives administrators the ability to allow users to bypass the disclaimer on a per email basis.

Additionally, disclaimer templates are included to allow easy set up of disclaimers using HTML or plain text. Template samples include legal disclaimers, virus warning disclaimers, copyright disclaimers, and more. New reports are also available that provide detailed information on the use of disclaimers within the organization.

Unique and Powerful SMART™ Attachment Filtering.

Unlike legacy security products that filter at the gateway, Ninja's Suspicious Mail Attachment Removal Technology™ (SMART) is the first policy-based attachment filter that filters all attachments based on email direction– inbound, outbound or within the organization. Additionally, it actually looks inside many types of files to determine their true identity, as opposed to just relying on file extensions.

This means that simply renaming a ".exe" file to a ".txt" will not fool the Ninja attachment filter and functions as an important zero-day attack protection. It is policy-based so Admins can create different settings for users and groups of users so you have a 100% detection and removal of possible malicious attachments while at the same time allowing policy level exceptions for outbound and internal traffic. The AV and AF plug-ins together are highly effective, with extremely low overhead.

Policy-based Plug-in Management.

Ninja's plugin architecture was designed with flexibility and extendibility in mind. That way you get a robust messaging framework that enables you to manage your entire messaging security. You can create customizable policies utilizing Ninja's integrated plug-in management.

Ninja will initially support plug-ins for anti-spam/antiphishing, anti-virus, and attachment filtering. The messaging security framework is built to accommodate the integration of additional plug-ins in the future which will include disclaimers, content filtering, archiving, content auditing, and more. The current protection engines are:

Anti-spam: Multi-engine support, provided by Cloudmark and Sunbelt (integrated antiphishing)
Anti-virus: Multi-engine support, provided by Authentium, BitDefender with more coming.
Attachment Filtering: Sunbelt proprietary filtering engine with an advanced method (directional and source level control) of filtering attachments at a granular level

With extensive policy creation capabilities, you can create custom policies for groups of users or a single user using Active Directory. You can set parameters based on user and/or organizational requirements. If you wish, you can simply associate all users with Ninja's default plug-in polices and have a powerful messaging protection solution in place in just a few minutes. Or you can create separate policy templates for different groups or individuals. And, you don't have to set up and maintain lists of blocked IP addresses and constantly create all sorts of custom rules. You have the flexibility to fine tune the aggressiveness of detection for all messaging plug-ins.

Very Low System Overhead.

Ninja's new advanced framework integrates smoothly and perfectly with Exchange and will not drain resources. You can run this on practically any Exchange server and you will not feel the pain. The code is highly optimized for low CPU and disk access resources. Sunbelt is a Gold Certified Microsoft Developer and the Ninja code was developed with consulting from Microsoft.

Fast Deployment in Exchange 2000/2003 Environments.

Ninja's management console enables you to install, configure and manage your full messaging security from one central location. Designed as an MMC snap-in, deployment is simple with a minimum of configuration effort needed. Ninja seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Exchange and provides spam, phishing, virus, and file attachment protection. Additionally, Ninja makes it easy to create policies across multiple messaging plug-ins with its MMC interface.

Multiple Scanning Engines for Increased Detection and Protection.

Ninja is designed to meet both the spam/phishing and virus protection needs of your organisation. With multiple spam and virus scanning engines, you automatically receive higher detection rates and a more accurate response to the messaging threats that attempt to enter your network. As an integrated email content checking, anti-spam and anti-virus solution, Ninja not only scans and eliminates viruses and other dangerous message content, but also filters attachments at the Exchange server, before they reach your users.

Sorts Automatically to Your User's Quarantine Folders.

For its anti-spam plug-in, Ninja utilizes multiple detection capabilities including RBL technology, Cloudmark's spam engine, and the award-winning iHateSpam for Exchange spam engine. This plug-in delivers superior spam detection using heuristic functionality with signature lookup capabilities. Ninja can be configured to delete, quarantine, add Subject line identification, or send to a custom quarantine folder in the end user's Exchange mailbox.

Custom rules capabilities gives you the ability to control spam and any other kind of email. You can supplement the spam detection engine with a variety of rules created on a number of email message properties (such as body, sender IP, header, or subject).

With the ability to strip HTML content prior to scanning, as well as an option to add cumulative points for words or phrases that appear multiple times in a single message, you can control how email is scored based on your custom rule selections.

Supports Sender Policy Framework and 'Auto-Whitelisting'.

With the increasing number of phishing attacks, identifying legitimate email addresses from spoofed addresses is important. Using the SPF, users are able to test whether a specific email originated from its claimed domain. Ninja allows users to participate in SPF, helping reduce the risk of phishing and fraudulent email. Auto-whitelist functionality automatically adds outgoing mail recipients. This greatly reduces false positives. Unlike other products that have just a single block and allow list for the server, Ninja has individual block and allow list for each user.

Aggressive Virus Detection and Elimination.

Ninja uses multiple industrial strength anti-virus engines to scan inbound and outbound email. With two anti-virus plug-ins included, you dramatically reduce your chances of infection. You can set scanning parameters at the policy level including per-policy scanning that allows you to disinfect and/or quarantine pieces of an email, essentially breaking apart the email message and only quarantining infected files instead of stripping all attachments. You can also allow for quarantine and unquarantine actions at the policy level and set per-policy notifications to other key contacts within your organization. Additionally, both sender and receiver notifications can be set for any viral activity detected.

With this layered approach, Ninja not only quarantines and cleans viruses but also blocks potentially hazardous file attachments and looks for common virus signatures during the scanning process including inspection within compressed files such as RAR and ZIP files within emails. Ninja automatically checks for updates to the virus definition files ensuring the best possible virus protection.

Email Content Inspection and Attachment Filtering.

Using Ninja's powerful policy-based attachment cleansing capabilities, you can configure inspection and filtering on a per-policy basis. Ninja's intelligent Suspicious Mail Attachment Removal Technology™ (SMART) filter scans the header of a file to verify that an attachment is what it says it is and has not just been renamed. No more renaming .exe files to get around the filters.

You can set rules based on users and file types that enable you to quarantine potentially harmful content or attachments by files extension including .doc, .exe, .dll, .pdf, visual basic scripts and more. No other messaging solution in the industry utilizes the advanced 'Ninja Logic' directional and source level control policies to manage your attachment filtering!

Configurable Reporting Options for All Plug-ins.

Ninja delivers system reporting for all plug-ins with a set of pre-defined reports with the ability to generate custom reports based on individual needs. The database-driven reporting engine can generate reports with information at the system, group, and/or user level. You can choose reporting options to show the number of inbound mail messages scanned, number of spam deleted or marked, number of viruses intercepted, number of filters triggered, percentage of viruses by name, and more.

World Class Technical Support.

Email has become a mission-critical application, and Exchange is now a mature and reliable platform. You cannot afford downtime.

Ninja was carefully designed from "the ground up" as a highly reliable application, which does not get in the way of delivering email even if Ninja itself stops functioning. Sunbelt is very close to its customers, and we guarantee world-class tech support for Ninja, with 24/7 options if you require. We also host a Ninja Users Forum where you can discuss Ninja's features, specs and any questions you may have with other Ninja users and Sunbelt's Tech Support Team.

What's New In Version 2.1?

Global Disclaimers - The 2.1 release of Ninja now includes the ability to add a disclaimer to all email sent.

Alternatively the global disclaimer can be setup to only disclaim messages that the users' specify.

Policy Based Disclaimers- In addition to the global disclaimer, there are now policy based disclaimers which allow your email administrator to have different disclaimers for groups of users.

The same ability to remove duplicate disclaimers and allow users to include or exclude the disclaimer exist at the policy level. In addition, the policy level disclaimers can be set to either leave, set or replace the global disclaimer.

Disclaimer Templates - The new disclaimer functionality utilizes templates that allow the admin to easily setup disclaimers using HTML or plain text. These templates can be setup to include user data from Active Directory so that each disclaimer is customized for the user sending the email. Included are template samples such as legal disclaimers, virus warning disclaimers, and copyright disclaimers.

Updated Antispam Engine- This release includes Cloudmark's latest antispam engine which has enhancements to improve the detection of the latest spam variants such as image spam. Another new feature includes the ability to adjust the efficacy of the detection while tuning the amount of resources available to the engine.
