Clearswift EXCHANGEmanager
When it comes to email security, its common to focus only on inbound email and ignore the risks posed by outbound and internal email. Although you may have an acceptable email policy, theres often no way to check, monitor and enforce outbound and internal email usage.
EXCHANGEmanager is designed to close that gap and ensure that ALL email communications are available, compliant and secure. It sets people free to use, but not misuse, internal email and in so doing avoid human resources (HR), regulatory and legal issues.
EXCHANGEmanager secures internal mail by:
- Intercepting and securing all MS Exchange 2003/7 email messages.
- Scanning internal email for malware and enforcing internal email payload controls.
- Protecting people from profanity, harassment, sharing illicit file types and other inappropriate material.
- Enabling internal email policies using the same flexible content aware MIMEsweeper for SMTP policy framework already in place.
