Symantec Email Security
Enterprise email protection
Key Features
Skeptic Multi-Layer Filtering
Cloud-based Skeptic analytics combine reputation, heuristics, and antivirus engines to deliver 99% spam capture (95% double-byte) with a 100% virus-blocking SLA, reducing false positives for global enterprises.
Behavioral Sandboxing & Impersonation Control
Dedicated sandbox detonation, behavior analysis, and impersonation engines lock down ransomware and BEC payloads before they reach users, even when attackers spoof executives or partners.
Click-Time Link Defense
Click-time link defense rewrites every URL, follows redirects to final destinations, and enforces policy actions based on risk scoring so hidden phishing pages never reach browsers.
Email Threat Isolation
Email Threat Isolation streams suspicious sites and attachments in remote, read-only browsers so users interact with a safe render while malicious activity stays contained.
Policy-Driven DLP & Encryption
Granular DLP, encryption, and marketing-detection policies inspect outbound mail for regulated data, automatically quarantining or securing messages to maintain GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI alignment.
SIEM-Ready Telemetry
Broadcom-supported Splunk add-ons normalize Email Security.cloud telemetry, enabling SOC dashboards, correlation searches, and adaptive responses without custom scripts.
Available Plans
Email Safeguard.cloud

Frequently Asked Questions
Symantec Email Security starts by running every message through the Skeptic analytics stack, which correlates global reputation, heuristic scoring, antivirus engines, and language-specific rules to hit the 99% spam and 100% virus SLA targets noted in the service contract. Suspicious attachments are detonated in physical and virtual sandboxes, while behavior analytics and connection-level throttling look for anomalies such as sender spoofing, SMTP floods, or code reuse linked to ransomware kits. The platform also applies impersonation controls and fraud protection that compare message attributes to executive lookalike patterns, then follows embedded links to their final destination so hidden redirects cannot evade inspection. These layers operate in the cloud, so updates roll out continuously without waiting for appliance patch cycles.
About Symantec Email Security
Symantec Email Security is Broadcom's cloud-native secure email gateway delivered from a global platform that promises 99% spam capture (95% for double-byte languages) and 100% protection from known and unknown viruses under its SLA, making it attractive to enterprises that can't tolerate missed attacks or noisy false positives. The service combines big-data "Skeptic" analytics, multi-layered inspection, and managed expertise from a 24/7 global operations team, so security, compliance, and messaging admins in regulated sectors can offload day-to-day filtering and focus on strategic projects without deploying hardware. It is hosted entirely in the cloud with elastic capacity, letting organizations replace legacy appliances while consuming Email Protect or Email Safeguard service tiers that align with privacy requirements and budget. Beyond baseline antimalware and antispam, the platform layers heuristic analysis, sandbox detonation, behavior analytics, connection-level throttling, and impersonation controls to stop ransomware, business email compromise, and targeted phishing before users see the message, while real-time link following and fraud protection keep executives and finance staff safe. Optional Email Threat Isolation opens suspicious URLs or attachments in remote, read-only sessions, giving hybrid workforces a pixel-perfect experience even when they work from unmanaged devices, and it also isolates malicious downloads so users can preview content safely during investigations. These layered controls are backed by rapid updates from Broadcom's threat intelligence network, ensuring the service stays ahead of obfuscated payloads and novel lure techniques that everyday users might otherwise click. Administrators manage policies in the Email Security.cloud console, where click-time protection rewrites links, URL risk scores determine isolation behavior, and detailed reports can be exported or accessed via API for SIEM correlation; Splunk add-ons maintained by Broadcom automate data collection so SOC teams can enrich detections and orchestrate response alongside other telemetry. Organizations that need outbound controls can enable data loss prevention, encryption, marketing message handling, and privacy templates to keep regulated data inside corporate boundaries, while finance or HR teams get separate policies to keep legitimate newsletters flowing without risking inbox fatigue. Customers can subscribe to proactive service-status notifications so maintenance windows, failover events, and incident communications stay transparent for ITIL-style governance, and the portal's dashboards make it easy to demonstrate control effectiveness during audits or board reviews.
