What?

Benign provides e-mail users with a pro-active solution that eliminates all e-mail borne threats, both known and unknown. Protecting users from real-world attacks by removing any potentially harmful code that an e-mail may contain, Benign recognises harmful attachments, e-mail worms, non-standard HTML, scripts, web bugs and other e-mail borne threats, rewriting the message to produce an entirely safe e-mail.

Why was it developed?

In recent years security has become a huge problem for e-mail software and e-mail service providers. Security problems are routinely found in standalone e-mail software such as Microsoft's Outlook and Outlook Express, with patches being issued literally every month. Users and IT managers who do not religiously upgrade their desktop as soon as these patches are released are then vulnerable to real-world attacks, risking infection of a worm or virus.

The impact of recent virus attacks has somewhat overshadowed the steady growth of other security threats such as scripts, web bugs and other malicious code. Components of such threats exploit the vulnerability of many e-mail programs, allowing infected attachments to run automatically and delete or modify files, or give an outside user access to confidential information and passwords stored on your machine. FireTrust has now created Benign, protecting users.

How it works?

Users simply import their mail account settings into Benign – which then acts as a proxy, intercepting e-mail before their e-mail client, removing potential security threats. Sitting quietly in the users system tray, Benign intercepts the users e-mail and fully decodes each message, instantaneously stripping out dangerous or malicious code. Benign then rewrites the e-mail without the harmful content, allowing a safe interpretation by the users mail program and leaving the original appearance of the e-mail unchanged.
