VIPRE Email Security is a cloud-based email protection platform available through Infinity Data Center that targets the threats commodity filters miss — sophisticated phishing, malware-laden attachments, business email compromise (BEC), and ransomware delivered by email. We deploy it in front of your existing mail platform, whether that is StrataMail, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or a mail server you run yourself.
What VIPRE Protects Against
- Spam and bulk mail — high-accuracy filtering with low false positive rates
- Phishing — credential-harvesting pages, spoofed login forms, lookalike domains
- Malware and ransomware — attachment scanning before delivery
- Business email compromise (BEC) — display name impersonation and domain spoofing detection
- Malicious links — URL reputation checks at delivery, and at the moment of the click with the Phishing Protection add-on
- Data leakage — policies that control what leaves your domain
Four Protection Levels
VIPRE comes in four levels, so you pay for the depth you actually need:
- Essentials Inbound Only — inbound spam and virus filtering with data leakage policies, 14 days of email replay, and a 7-day spool. The right fit when you only need to clean what arrives. It does not include email continuity.
- Essentials — the same filtering and policy control applied to outbound mail as well, so a compromised account cannot quietly send on your domain's reputation.
- Email Cloud — everything in Essentials plus 90 days of email continuity. If your mail platform goes down, your users keep sending and receiving through a browser instead of waiting for the outage to clear. This is the level most of our customers run.
- Total Email Protection — gateway filtering combined with API-native protection that inspects mail already inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, catching phishing and BEC that never crossed the gateway and pulling a malicious message back out of an inbox after delivery.
Click-Time Link Protection (Add-On)
The Phishing Protection add-on, available on any level, rewrites embedded links so that when a user clicks, the destination is checked against VIPRE's threat intelligence in real time before the browser loads the page. This catches phishing sites that were clean at delivery but activated hours later — a common technique in modern credential-harvesting attacks that delivery-time-only scanning cannot stop. An Encryption add-on secures outbound messages that carry sensitive content.
Deployment with StrataMail or Any Platform
The gateway levels sit in front of your mail platform: your domain's MX records point to VIPRE, and inbound mail is filtered before it reaches StrataMail or any other mail server. We make that change with you and stage it so nothing is interrupted. Total Email Protection adds an API connection to Microsoft 365 alongside the gateway, which needs no MX change of its own. Either way, we configure the policies, tune the filtering against your real mail flow, and stay on the account afterward. No changes to StrataMail server configuration are required.
SpamWeeder vs. VIPRE: Which to Choose
Both protect against spam. VIPRE adds per-user protection levels for organizations facing sophisticated attacks: outbound policy control, BEC-specific detection, 90-day continuity on Email Cloud, in-tenant Microsoft 365 protection, and click-time link checking as an add-on. For standard threat exposure with tighter budgets, SpamWeeder Premium filters per domain at lower cost.
