A recent customer survey showed that many MIMEsweeper users were not familiar with all the Clearswift products available. This is perfectly understandable as our product set has increased substantially over the last few years to cover email and web; software, appliance and managed services; and of course specialist security solutions for military/defense security.

The Clearswift solutions for email security and web security will ensure all your Internet traffic, whether inbound, outbound or internal, complies with your acceptable usage policies.

Our dynamic content filtering and classification provide you with data leakage protection, while our inbound protection stops up to 100% of spam, spyware and malware. Internal solutions for Exchange or Domino traffic allow policies to be applied to internal traffic – an increasing requirement for many customers.

In addition, we provide a range of email security solutions, accredited to EAL4 standard, for highly sensitive military, defense and intelligence organizations, providing network separation for networks of differing security levels combined with deep content filtering.

We are continually investing in and developing our products to meet and exceed customer demands and needs, and will keep you informed of updates as they happen.

Internal email is an often forgotten security loophole. On average, eight times as much email is sent internally as externally. Every time an employee hits “send,” evidence for or against the company is created.

Protection for internal Exchange email through our EXCHANGEmanager is available as an add-on to MIMEsweeper version 5.2.

In late November Clearswift launched the first version of the new MIMEsweeper Web Appliance 1.0 - designed to make web security as straightforward to control, manage and administer as email security.
