MIMEsweeper policy-based content security for internal
e-mail
Internal e-mail has
moved from a simple messaging medium to become a critical
vehicle for distributing documents and other files.
But just as it has accelerated the process of internal
communications, it is now exposing organizations to
a host of new threats. Internal users pose a significant
security threat through malicious or purely accidental
circulation of inappropriate emails content and attachments.
The 2004 Information Security Breaches Survey from
the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) shows that
around one third of security issues originate internally.
MIMEsweeper
for Exchange
MIMEsweeper
for Exchange allows organizations to protect against
digital threats coming from internal e-mail communication.
These threats are the same as those faced on the SMTP
gateway (e.g. virus infections, exposure to or circulation
of profanity and other offensive content, distribution
of confidential information, loss of network bandwidth
and storage, and many others) and can be propagated
by employees sending round jokes, MP3 files or defamatory
emails. In addition, they may - unwittingly or not
- upload a virus onto the corporate system from a
disk or their laptop. All these threats can be detected
and stopped through the implementation of MIMEsweeper
for Exchange.
MIMEsweeper
for Exchange comprises:
- MIMEsweeper award-winning content
analysis engine
- Web-based Report Center
- REMOTEmanager
- Personal Message Manager (PMM)
- Anti-spam Filter
The threat within:
gateway security is not enough
While many threats originate from
outside the organization, installing gateway protection
does not ensure that the network and the business
are completely safe from digital attacks or business
threats leading to litigation.
Organizations are also under threat from viruses and
illegal or inappropriate material entering a network
via web access, CDs / floppy disks and laptops which
are taken out of the office and then distributed to
other users via internal e-mail
