- DSPAM
DSPAM is a scalable and open-source content-based spam filter designed for multi-user enterprise systems.
DSPAM filters spam by learning what spam is and isn't. It does this by learning each user's individual mail behavior. This
allows DSPAM to provide highly-accurate and personalized filtering for each user. DSPAM work efficiently even on large
systems and provides an administratively maintenance free solution capable of learning each user's email behaviors with very
few false positives. DSPAM supports many different MTAs and can also be deployed as a stand-alone SMTP application.
- Content Filtering
Web Content Filtering prevents indiscriminate Internet surfing that often conceals viruses, worms, Trojans,
spyware, keyloggers, phishing, pharming and more. TEF offers intelligent surfing protection through its user identity-based
Internet Content Filtering solution. TEF guards enterprises from security, productivity threats, and legal liability. The
web content filtering solution is based on a combination of categories, keywords, URLs, domain names, and file types, making
it a comprehensive filtering mechanism.
- High Availability & Load Balancer
TEF makes use of LVS(Linux Virtual Server) to provide fast load balancing. The Heartbeat(Linux-HA) is used to
monitor the Linux-directors - the hosts running LVS and doing the load balancing. This is combined with ldirectord which
monitors real-server - the hosts that accept end-user's connections. These three core components support TEF4.8 to provide
Highly Available and/or Load Balanced network services.
- Antivirus
TEF's fully integrated gateway anti-virus engine provides reliable web and e-mail security at the gateway for
enterprises. The gateway anti-virus solution supports business flexibility and prevents Internet threats like worms, viruses
and malicious programs from entering the networks.
- Intrusion Detection system (IDS)
IDS is capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks. It can perform
protocol analysis, content searching/matching and can be used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer
overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more. It uses a flexible rules
language to describe traffic that it should collect or pass, as well as a detection engine that utilizes a modular plugin
architecture.
