FireEye Email Security Review
Rating: 5 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it as an email gateway for the company. All email addressed to our employee's email addresses are routed through the appliance. It attempts to filter out some malicious emails based on the links and attachments that are found. It is not our only email defense that we have in our stack.
Pros
- It does a decent job of detecting malicious attachments in emails.
- It is easy to release emails that are incorrectly quarantined.
Cons
- The interface is not exactly intuitive.
- There are a high number of false positives.
- To my knowledge, there is not a way to whitelist links or attachments.
Likelihood to Recommend
It works well as one component of an email security stack, as long as you do not mind dealing with false positives. It would not be suitable as the only component in an email security system. When upstream components of our stack have gone down, a high number of malicious mail got through our FireEye appliance.
