* 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.
