Identify and quarantine email borne virus infection
The most obvious content security threat that is experienced today
is that of virus infection. New viruses continue to emerge and there appears
to be no slackening of pace. Many IT departments will already have anti-virus
provisions in place, however the administrative problem of keeping the
current virus list up to date can eat into IT budgets and become an administrative
burden. The advantage of allowing e-Sweeper to carry this burden is that
its virus pattern files are updated continuously in the background. Therefore
we can provide an extremely timely and accurate service. Indeed, the automated
nature of the e-Sweeper background processes provide even more direct
benefits to users of the service. Hoax lists and spam lists can also be
picked up by the e-Sweeper™ Agents during their regular update cycle.
Filter spam keywords and phrases
Unsolicited commercial email (UCE) otherwise known as spam
is at best a nuisance and at worst a waste of bandwidth, time and money.
e-Sweeper uses advanced text analysis to identify today's and tomorrow's
spam, providing a high-performance and flexible approach to managing junk
email.
End user administrators can also define white-lists of email
addresses that will bypass the normal anti-spam policy. This is useful
for allowing mail that may be identified as spam (listserver news bulletins
etc) but is in fact valid email.
Block specific file-types
Terabytes of data are sent around the world via email every
day clogging the bandwidth of the Internet, networks and mail gateways.
The main issue is not the number of emails but their size and attachments.
For example, program files are often larger than 1Mb and
are not always business-related. They also commonly carry viruses. Having
a tool to control their propagation is essential to maintaining network
and system integrity.
Today a company's value is underpinned by the amount of
intellectual property and commercial data they own. Every day, hundreds
of megabytes of confidential information and personal data information
gets disseminated through email. Many companies do not need to send email
with included or embedded graphi. Image and video files can contain offensive
material or breach copyright. Companies need to manage this information
flow - e-Sweeper is a simple and effective answer.
Manage inappropriate images
There are very few reasons why organisations should allow
their employees to circulate images that have a high proportion of flesh-tones.
e-Sweeper now incorporates some of the award winning technology seen in
PORNsweeper for identifying inappriopriate images within their acceptable
email usage policy.
This functionality can add some latency to the processing
of mail and therefore service providers can opt to disable this from their
users.
Attach legal disclaimers
With the transfer of liability for electronic circulation
of information from the employee to the employer, many companies now need
the capability to attach legal disclaimers to emails. In addition, service
providers can use this feature to add text to dial-up users email to advertise
new features.
Scan for offensive keywords and phrases
Profanity. Sexual expletives. Obscene language. Their usage
in email from a company's domain equates to their usage on company letterhead
and the damage caused can be devastating. e-Sweeper enables organizations
to reduce legal liability and avoid the damage to their image caused by
improper language.
Separate quarantine areas for different threat types
The e-Sweeper service allows you to view and perform actions
on 8 separate quarantine areas for easier management. The quarantine areas
correspond to the primary classifications of content threat; virus, spam,
inappropriate language, images, video, attachments, executables, documents
and encryption.
Web-based reporting that can be manipulated interactively
or scheduled for regular delivery via email
e-Sweeper allows you and your customers the ability to
generate configurable reports on email usage which can then be emailed
to the administrator or anyone else in either html, excel or word format.
Inclusive virus protection using industry leading anti-virus
tools
Virus protection using reliable anti-virus tools virus scanning
is provided using at least one of the industry's top anti-virus tools.
