SonicWALL Email Security 7.2 User Guide 13

Note: To use your companies default settings, use the Adhere to Corporate/Group Defaults checkbox. If your IT department enforces these settings, the checkbox is dimmed; you cannot change blocking levels.

Configuring SMART Network Aggressiveness Settings

You can adjust the level of influence community input has on organization spam blocking, produced by the Self-Monitoring Active Response Team (SMART) network. Updates are provided to your gateway server at defined intervals.

To adjust your collaborative settings, click one of the radio buttons from Mild (1) to Strong (5).

A setting of 5 means that you are comfortable with the collective experience of the SonicWALL user community. A setting of 1 or 2 indicates that you are skeptical of the collective experience and want to judge more email for yourself.

Configuring Adversarial Bayesian Aggressiveness Settings

This aggressiveness setting determines how likely an email message is to be identified as junk email. Selecting a stronger setting makes SonicWALL Gateway more likely to mark a message as spam.

Determining Amounts and Flavors of Spam

You can determine how aggressively to block particular types of spam, including sexual content, offensive language, get rich quick schemes, gambling, and advertisements.

For each of the spam flavors:

zChoose Mild (1) to be able to view email that contains terms that relate to these topics.

zChoose Medium (2 - 4) to cause SonicWALL Email Security to tag this email as likely junk.

zChoose Strong (5) make it more likely that email with this content is sent to your junkbox.

In addition to these core features, SonicWALL 7.2 embraces a user-friendly interface that streamlines management and monitoring processes. The simplified dashboard provides administrators with real-time insights into security events, network performance, and potential vulnerabilities. This level of transparency is vital for rapidly addressing security incidents and maintaining compliance with industry regulations.

SonicWALL 7.2 also incorporates innovative technologies such as Capture Cloud Platform, which centralizes cybersecurity management and provides advanced analytics driven by machine learning. This cloud-based approach not only enhances responsiveness but also supports a more agile security posture, adapting to emerging threats as they arise.

Another key characteristic of SonicWALL 7.2 is its scalability. Whether a small business or a large enterprise, organizations can tailor their security solutions to meet their specific needs. The ability to easily scale allows businesses to grow without compromising their security infrastructure, enabling them to focus on core innovations and expansion.

In summary, SonicWALL 7.2 equips businesses with a powerful arsenal to combat today's cyber threats. With features such as Advanced Threat Protection, Enhanced SSL Inspection, a user-friendly interface, and the benefits of the Capture Cloud Platform, it addresses the critical demands for comprehensive security in an increasingly complex digital ecosystem.
