SonicWall Comprehensive Anti-Spam Service (CASS) offers small- to medium-sized businesses comprehensive protection from spam and viruses, with instant deployment over existing SonicWall firewalls. CASS speeds deployment, eases administration and reduces overhead by consolidating solutions, providing one-click anti-spam services, with advanced configuration in just ten minutes. Outperforming RBL filtering, CASS offers more than 98% effectiveness against spam, dropping more than 80% of spam at the gateway, while utilizing advanced anti-spam techniques like Adversarial Bayesian filtering on remaining email.

Product features

• Advanced Reputation Management (ARM)
  Advanced Reputation Management (ARM) utilizes sender IP reputation to drop junk email at the connection level - including spam, phishing and attached viruses - before it enters the network. Real-time reputation scores from the SonicWall GRID network identify and block junk email from spammers. Advanced Reputation Management eliminates the need for less-effective, slow-responding and error-prone real-time blacklist services.
• Cloud-based Advanced Content Management (ACM)
  Cloud-based Advanced Content Management (ACM) removes any remaining junk email using SonicWall's proven spam fighting techniques, including Adversarial Bayesian Analysis, SonicWall GRIDprints, Image Inference Engine, gibberish detection, and Bayesian Phishing Analysis. The cloud-based design utilizes these advanced anti-spam techniques without impacting firewall processing and overall network throughput.
• Flexible junk email routing
  Flexible junk email routing categorizes junk messages as spam, likely spam, phishing, likely phishing, virus and likely virus. Messages in each category can be rejected, tagged and delivered, sent to the user's Junk Box, or deleted, for complete control and compliance with corporate and regulatory requirements.
• GRID anti-virus
  SonicWall GRID anti-virus is automatically activated along with SonicWall CASS to detect SMTP-based virus emails and reroute them as defined by the administrator at the gateway.
• Integrated allow and block lists
  Integrated allow and block lists are built into SonicWall network security appliances. IP addresses can be allowed or blocked at the gateway. They can also add granular control with allow and block lists at people, companies and list levels. This feature is fully supported by CASS and requires no additional set-up or training to use.
• Integrated reporting and logging
  Integrated reporting and logging is built into SonicWall firewall. Service status and statistics are easily displayed with one click, and log file entries can be viewed by service name. Service status shows availability of CASS, Junk Boxes and the downstream email server.
• Flexible LDAP integration
  Flexible LDAP integration enables robust, easy and secure user management, as well as additional flexibility through multiple LDAP integration support.
• Supports downstream email security systems
  Supports downstream email security systems such as corporate governance or compliance policies, per-user policies and preferences, advanced reporting and more, as needed.
