What makes the Ninja Attachment Filtering (AF) so “SMART”?

0

There are several different reasons why it is so powerful: • It is the only attachment filter that checks inbound, outbound and internal attachments. • It looks beyond many types of file extensions, delving into the actual file headers as opposed to just the file extension itself. This means that simply renaming a “.exe” file to a “.txt” will not fool the attachment filter and functions as an important zero-day attack protection. • It is policy-based so Admins can create different setting 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.
