Kaspersky Lab, a leading provider of security solutions that protect against viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, crimeware, rootkits, phishing, hacker attacks and spam, today announces the release of Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, a component of the Kaspersky Open Space Security suite of solutions. This high-performance solution helps protect users of corporate mail systems based on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 platforms. It provides comprehensive antivirus scans of outgoing and incoming messages, messages stored on the mail server, as well as objects in shared files. 
 
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is the latest version of the popular messaging and collaborative software product developed by Microsoft. It offers clients a high-performance and easy-to-use infrastructure capable of operating in small companies, as well as large enterprises.
 
Using Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 all email attachments and attributes are scanned and depending on the specified settings, the application disinfects, deletes or sends an alert along with malicious objects. Moreover, scans are performed in the background and do not significantly affect the mail server's performance. In order to prevent data loss copies of message modifications are saved in a backup storage, which allows important information to be restored in the event of loss during treatment of an infected object.
 
A special system for preventing virus outbreaks provides users with an additional level of protection. This ensures immediate measures are taken to heighten antivirus protection in the event of a mass mailing of infected messages. 
 
The application is configured and administered via the administration console built into the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), a convenient management tool familiar to the administrator. This significantly reduces the time it takes a company’s IT personnel to adapt to the new product, as well as simplifying the administration process of antivirus protection as a whole. The interactive installation and configuration mode the solution uses by default is appropriate for most systems, making it possible to begin normal operation of the program without spending much time on installation and configuration. The selection of available options enables the administrator to configure the application to suit the volume and character of traffic, as well as the hardware environment.
 
The administrator can use the security policy of an organisation to configure the application, for example, by specifying which types of malicious or potentially hostile programs should be detected or by excluding some file types from scanning.
