McAfee has announced its WebShield 3.0 software, which adds policy enforcement, improved content scanning and further management features to its family of e250, e500 and e1000 security appliances. Sitting inside any firewall, this secure content management series provides anti-virus protection, content scanning and optional anti-spam protection at the e-mail gateway.

WebShield scans both incoming and outgoing SMTP, HTTP, FTP and POP3 content. Its policy support feature enables administrators to identify logical groups and apply different rules for anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering.

A new dashboard and configuration wizard reveal more about system health and information status. SMTP transport logging supports debugging, troubleshooting and forensic activity.

The e500 appliance is designed for medium to large businesses; the e1000 is aimed at enterprises. Built-in load balancing allows using multiple appliances for greater performance.
