E-Mail Security

98 % of threats targeting Microsoft Office applications use office macros to spread and execute malicious codes. At the same time, sending Word and Excel files which contain automation through macros, is important for many companies. It is often the only way to ensure internal processes running smoothly. A conventional, rigid and sharply set spam filter can often reject file types classified as potentially dangerous, such as Word and Excel. 

Therefore, it is important for companies to use a good aMTA with intelligent spam filter. Otherwise, employees would have to spend a lot of valuable working time in identifying and deleting spam themselves. 

The aMTA appliance is based on open source module Postfix. In addition to some other specialized open source components such as ClamAV, the software solution primarily includes further audius development of OEM, among others from Avira. 
The whole thing results in a complex, multi-level and efficient protection against all kinds of e-mail threats. We have been using aMTA at audius for over 15 years, so we can permanently learn and continuously develop the product.   
Successfully: 83 % of e-mails received by audius are filtered as unwanted with a false positive rate‘ of less than 0.01 %

• Fast set-up: The specially developed configuration wizard ensures the up and running of the appliance in less than 30 minutes. 
• High flexibility: Due to modular structures and use of open sources, the aMTA appliance can be adapted and expanded individually as required. 
• Office Macro Analysis: The heuristic analysis of macros in office documents can reliably detect malicious code patterns.  
• Macro Whitelist Hashing: The audius in-house developed audivir macro filter allows targeted control through "whitelisting". Clean documents can be sent by e-mail as required.

Thomas van Helt, IT manager of the cooperative union (BWGV), sums up the long-standing cooperation with audius: "A partner who thinks ahead and along with us, a  ‚huge asset' to the BWGV“. We as BWGV appreciate that very much."

What he particularly appreciates about the aMTA appliance is: 

• the simple operation and administration, 
• the configuration of the preliminary checks 
• the macro filter function

"The holistic concept of in-house development and open source, in combination with the usual excellent support from audius, convinces us all along the line," says Thomas van Helt, pleased with the effective e-mail protection for his association.
