Features:
Secure your data— effectively and simply
Sophos Email Appliances make it simple to roll out email encryption and data loss prevention (DLP). You'll have what you need to comply with data protection laws and keep your sensitive data out of the wrong hands:
DLP and encryption policies Deploying and adjusting data protection policies takes only a few clicks. It's fast with our simple interface.
Pre-defined sensitive data types We take the work out of identifying sensitive and personally identifiable information (PII). You get hundreds of pre-packaged data definitions by industry or geography, which our experts provide and maintain.
Automatic data protection Prevent the accidental or malicious loss of sensitive data. Our Email Appliances automatically scan email and attachments for sensitive data and apply policy without the risk of false positives. The bottom line is you don't need to rely on users to protect your data, we make it easy and automatic.
Built in automatic encryption When users need to email sensitive information, SPX Encryption locks the content in password-protected encrypted PDF.

Stop malware, spam and more
Our email protection blocks all the threats and stops more than 99% of spam at your mail gateway:
Reputation filtering We eliminate most spam even before our threat detection engine scans incoming email. Our Sender Genotype technology stops spam based on the reputation of the sender, whether the unwanted email comes from a known offender or a new source.
Live protection You also get protection from the latest spam campaigns. Live Anti-Spam uses our cloud service to catch spam in real time and keep it out of people's inboxes.
Proactive threat protection We block new threats at the gateway before they reach your mail servrrs. With our Behavioral Genotype Protection, you get the best proactive protection from zero-day threats.
Save time with our remotely monitored appliances
While our Email Appliances keep you secure all the time, you won't spend much time on administration:
Remote monitoring We remotely monitor your appliance's vital signs to check that everything is running as it should. If we see something out of the ordinary, we'll alert you before it becomes a problem.
Automated maintenance You'll free up time because we provide automatic updates and automate most routine maintenance tasks.
24-hour technical support Support from our local experts is standard. And your license also includes all automatic updates and upgrades for new software releases.
Get high availability and easy growth
When you want to cluster more than one Email Appliance, you can do it with just one click:Manage multiple appliances as if they were one
