Is Your Antispam Solution Not Getting 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. Ninja Gets Image Spam.
Tired of using separate products on your Exchange server?
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 new, third generation, policy-based messaging security framework that provides you as a 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
Takes HALF the time to administer & lower cost per user
To understand organizations' 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'! Would you like to see Ninja right now? You can see a very comprehensive 43-minute pre-recorded Livemeeting Webinar that will give you the highlights with a short PowerPoint presentation and then shows a live product demo!
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 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 higher detection and protection.
Ninja is designed to meet both the spam/phishing and virus protection needs of your organization. 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 user's quarantine folder
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 and from "the ground up" designed 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 Disclaimer - The 2.1 release of Ninja now includes the ability to add a disclaimer to all email sent. This new feature has the ability to block duplicate disclaimers and the ability for the admin to allow the users to bypass this global disclaimer on a per email basis. Alternatively the global disclaimer could also 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 the admin to have a 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 a set global disclaimer in place 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 engine release which has additional 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.
Console Enhancements - Several enhancements have been added to the console. Database management has been added through tools to allow the purging of old records from an existing database and the compacting of Access databases to reduce their size. Enhanced proxy support has been added for systems that utilize NTLM authentication. New reports have been added to give information on the use of disclaimers.

Robust, industry-strength downtime prevention.
There you are in the late afternoon and all your users are humming along... with email via Exchange and SQL database transactions rolling in... orders piling up... CAD files being built, dozens of projects progressing on schedule and then...
Your File Server Crashes!
All the creativity, productivity, and profits of a full day's business just vaporized before your eyes. User morale drops down below zero. The phone starts to get an ugly ring to it. Now, its like travelling back in time as your backup was made last night (14 hours ago), and you start your trip to tape hell...
The Show Must Go On
In many corporate Windows NT/2000 environments, the loss of even an hour's data may cost many (tens of) thousands of dollars. Downtime is similarly expensive resulting in lost productivity and lost business.
With traditional backup alone, you run the risk of losing up to a full day's data in the event of a system failure. Even the best tape backup systems require hours to restore a large server, and downtime can extend to days if the restore does not go smoothly. For many businesses, this amount of lost data and downtime is no longer acceptable.
At the other extreme, there are specialized, distributed applications that can continue to run even in the event of an NT/2000 Server failure. Unfortunately, these systems tend to be limited to a single application and are often expensive and complex.
Double-Take monitors file changes as they occur on one or many source servers, replicating them in real-time to a server over existing network links. In the event of a server failure, Double-Take's target server has backup copies of all your critical files immediately available for your users. The target server can even assume the identity of the failed server virtually eliminating data loss and downtime.
Enhances Existing Backup Systems
Double-Take can be used without changing your current tape backup strategy. Double-Take makes it easy to backup open files, since the replicated copy is always available for backup. In addition, the option of centralizing your tape backup operations on the target server can reduce cost and simplify management of your backup systems.
Disaster Recovery
No data protection strategy is complete without off-site protection from disasters. Because of its patented communication technology, Double-Take is uniquely suited to replicating data over WAN links.
How Double-Take Works
A small software module is installed on each source and target server. An easy-to-use client application lets you define which data will be replicated and where the copies will be stored. The initial mirroring operation can be performed while the source servers are active. After this simple configuration and initial mirroring are completed, operations are automatic and transparent.
The failover module resides on the target server, and continually monitors the source servers. In the event of a server failure the target server can assume the names and IP adresses of the failed servers (in addition to its original name), and invoke scripts to restart applications.
Improved Data Protection
Double-Take protects data in real-time, reducing your exposure to data loss from a full day's data to seconds or less.
Disaster Recovery Protection
Up-to-the-minute offsite protection is an important part of a your business continuity strategy. Double-Take works efficiently over slower WAN links.
Reduced Downtime
Failover is fast and automatic. Your exposure to downtime is reduced or eliminated.
Enhanced Data Compression
Three levels of compression introduced in Version 4.4 allow more data to be replicated and increase performance and scalability.
Cross-Platform Data Interchange
Data can be mirrored and replicated between your Double-Take machines running on different OS platforms (NT/W2K).
Enhances Backup Performance
By giving your existing third-party backup system access to open files, Double-Take improves backup reliability. In addition, the option of centralizing backup operations on the target server simplifies management, improves performance, and reduces cost of ownership.
Select the amount of bandwidth you want to use
Double-Take for NT allows you to select the amount of bandwidth you would like to dedicate to replication. If you have a 128K link you can limit replication to a maximum of 64K reserving the remainder for standard network traffic. Download the Product Brochure (PDF Format)

Does your current security software simply stack more and more separate modules on top of each other, taking more and more resources? CounterSpy Enterprise doesn't! Download your full-feature, 30-day evaluation copy today.
The press gives Counterspy Enterprise rave reviews. It's Windows IT Pro's Reader's Choice twice and Editor's Choice Winner. Network Computing's 2006 prestigious Well-Connected Awards Winner, and Editor's Choice! (PDF). SC Magazine gave it 4 stars, with "Excellent management, good detection, an excellent package for enterprises".
You told us that for 2007, the biggest security issue you expect is blended malware. The areas you see as the biggest problems are: - loss of company confidential data and intellectual property,
- loss of employee productivity, and
- loss of network bandwidth
Second Generation Antispyware
Blended malware is a much more insidious problem than plain old viruses. You need world-class centralized antispyware management as an essential element of your layered security posture because: - Despite their claims, existing AV companies' "spyware modules" don't cut it.
Their code was not built to fight spyware and it shows. - Using a substandard product causes a false sense of security
- Most antispyware out there is not really enterprise-ready
To help you fight spyware, we built a true second generation enterprise-ready product from the ground up that gets you everything you need, but we also added something unique: CounterSpy Enterprise has the best spyware database in the industry. CounterSpy Enterprise's revolutionary VIPRE scanning engine uses over 750,000 threat traces to hunt down a broad range of spyware, adware, rootkits and other malware.
World-class Quality
Despite what you might hear from our competitor Webroot, our effectiveness in finding and removing malware is world-class. We regularly wind up in the Malware-test.com Top Three. Often the same results as Webroot, and sometimes better. We blogged on their recent "objective" PR campaign: "twenty minutes in the Naughty Corner".
"Install-and-move-on"
Your existing AV product might claim they have an antispyware module. It might even get somewhat close to the quality of stand-alone tools. But these large products have a steep learning curve, take a lot of time to install, stack module on top of module taking ever increasing resources, and then take a lot of time to manage once you have them deployed. CounterSpy Enterprise is fast to set up, low-resource, low-maintenance, so it's "install and move on" with the security you have the best antispyware database in the industry!
New Features of CounterSpy Enterprise V2.0
Version 2.0 has a wealth of new features. This is a MAJOR new upgrade. Here is a short list of all the highly useful enhancement and changes in the new powerful V2.0. You definitely want to take a look at this version: - Dramatically lower RAM use
- Dramatically faster scan times
- "Hybrid" antispyware scanning and removal engine with VIPRE technology
- FirstScan, a new scan and remove on-boot technology designed specifically to detect and remove the most deeply embedded malware
- New kernel-level active protection. The new system offers signature, behavioral and heuristic-based real-time blocking of threats
- Improved agent scanning technology
- Automatic agent deployment functionality
- Improved administrative console
- Backward compatible with the older 1.5 and 1.8 agents, allowing agent upgrades to be done in stages
- Support for Windows Vista 32-bit
CounterSpy Enterprise provides you what you need
CounterSpy Enterprise is a powerful centralized policy-based second generation product that allows you to detect, delete and protect against over 35 categories of malware. The spyware threat database is extensive and one of the best in the world with over 750,000 threat traces. It is updated by Sunbelt's own CounterSpy Research Team, and the hundreds of thousands of people that participate in Sunbelt's ThreatNet community of opt-in users, and last but not least, our proprietary web crawler (SPECTRE) helps out too. The Press loves it, CounterSpy Enterprise gets rave reviews.
Fighting Spyware Together - A Worldwide Detection Network: ThreatNet
The only way we can fight this new spyware plague is to band together and create a worldwide detection network that sends outbreak information back to Sunbelt's spyware research center in real time. This team tests and updates the CounterSpy threat database on a very regular basis. ThreatNet allows spyware to be found faster, fixes to be coded, validated, and downloaded to CounterSpy Enterprise users. You told us what you needed and we built it for you! Here is where you can submit potential threats: the Sunbelt CounterSpy Research Center.
Powerful Centralized Spyware Management
CounterSpy Enterprise allows you to create policies and assign machines to that policy via Active Directory, your network neighborhood or by IP address. From a single admin console you control the automatic silent push install of the agent (CounterSpy also supports WMI deployment), scheduling, and threat database updates for just a few dozen, hundreds or thousands of machines to protect your entire network from over 35 categories of spyware. The agent is available as an "MSI" file (but also as an .exe) that you can install via login scripts, deploy with SMS or WMI, Add to a Group Policy with the ability to easily create transforms (.mst files) or let the end user install via a web page.
Designed 'by admins for admins'
Sunbelt has 20 years of experience with system admin tools. Designed 'by admins for admins', it has what you need to make enterprise spyware protection easy and accurate. Easy install, excellent policy-based GUI, good reporting, many ways to deploy the agent and transparency. You always know what CounterSpy is doing, and you get detailed logs what was done on which workstation. There is no other anti-spyware tool out there with over 6,000 deployments that was built from the ground up "enterprise first" and "consumer second".
As an enterprise administrator you need information about the activities of antispyware software on your networks. You need kernel-based real-time protection. You must have a mechanism for notification when threats are detected or actions are taken. You must have a comprehensive reporting system that will make it easy to provide documentation for your own use and for keeping management informed and justifying budget expenditures.
