SGuard

SGuard is the administrator portal for the SGUARD product in the EG Platform suite. A single portal manages two engines that handle opposite directions of mail traffic.

What SGUARD Does in the Pipeline

Internet  →  SGUARD/SpamGuard  →  RGUARD  →  Mail Server

Internet ← SGUARD/SendGuard ←──────────────────┘
  • Inbound — SpamGuard is the first filter in the pipeline. It rejects obvious spam, spoofing, malicious URLs, and signature-based malware before mail is forwarded to RGUARD for deeper inspection.
  • Outbound — SendGuard is the only outbound filter. It inspects every message leaving the organization for approval requirements, PII, malware, and policy violations.

Engines Inside SGuard

SpamGuard (inbound)

  • Spam scoring — content, source, frequency, and behaviour analysis
  • DKIM verification — detects spoofing and tampered messages
  • URL Blacklist — blocks dangerous links before delivery
  • Whitelist / Blacklist / Allow List — explicit allow and block rules for senders, domains, and content
  • Malware scan — signature-based detection of dangerous attachments

SendGuard (outbound)

  • Approval workflow — hold messages for review before they leave
  • PII Protection — block messages that contain personally identifiable information
  • Account Suspension — stop a compromised or departing account from sending
  • Attachment audit — per-file logging with internal copy retained at the gateway
  • Large File URL conversion — replace large attachments with secure download links

Shared Capabilities

  • Multi-language portal — English, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese
  • Audit trail — every classification, action, and policy change is logged
  • Reporting and statistics — aggregated metrics for traffic, threats, and operator activity

info

RGUARD is a separate product with its own portal. Threats SpamGuard does not catch (BEC, APT, zero-day phishing) are typically inspected by RGUARD's advanced engines after the message passes through SGUARD. Documentation for the RGUARD portal will be published separately.
