CONTENT INSPECTION 

Clearswift

MIMEsweeper for SMTP 5.0 

• Stops all e-mail threats – inbound and outbound – with one solution
• Centralised management and reporting
• World-beating MIMEsweeper engine
• Unrivalled Deep Content Inspection
• Unparalleled ‘Zero-Day’ protection
• Super-scalable, from 50 to 100,000+ users

The Problem
Email is not going to go away and neither are the threats that come with it. Spam, viruses, trojans, denial of service attacks, confidential leaks; they all scale up as email volumes scale up – exponentially.

Until now, enterprises have fought off the invading hordes with a small army of point solutions. A spam filter here, some anti-virus there, a bit of content security somewhere else (and some wide open security holes nearly everywhere). The trouble is, point solutions create as many management problems as they solve; they’re not really secure; and they simply don’t scale.

Introducing Total Content Security
MIMEsweeper for SMTP 5.0 delivers the first truly enterprise-class content security solution that stops all email threats at all gateways, inbound and outbound.

For the first time, organisations of all sizes can replace their false sense of security with real, comprehensive security that can be managed and updated simply and centrally.

The Benefits

• Stop all threats at all email gateways, before they can do any damage.
• Dramatically reduce administration time and resources.
• Support regulatory compliance with flexible policies.
• Minimise the threat of downtime, prosecution, lost productivity and confidentiality breaches.
• Free up bandwidth and storage for legitimate business.
• Scale to infinity with lower cost of ownership.

MIMEsweeper for Web Reporting

The more you understand your company’s web usage, the better able you are to keep it safe. MIMEsweeper for Web comes with a complete set of pre-defined reports viewable by secure connection from any web browser. The detailed, graphical reports let you map trends, understand networks, monitor traffic changes and analyse user behaviour.

The reports support better decision-making on security policy, capacity planning and ROI justification.

How it works
The Report Centre menu holds all of your pre-configured reports in one screen. Choose a report, input your parameters and a user-friendly report is generated ready for analysis or inclusion in your documents. Reports include:

• Analysis of all web use in the company
• Most visited websites and their visitors
• Real-time statistics on all users currently online
• Traffic patterns by day parts and times
• Threat detection patterns by site, user and period

Key Features

• Comprehensive graphical reporting to support security policy, web management and capacity planning decisions.
• Full auditing and reporting on all transfer requests.
• Available via secure access with any standard browser.
• Real-time display of current web traffic.

MIMEsweeper URL Filter

MIMEsweeper for Web provides content analysis available for all traffic going through the HTTP gateway.  But adding a powerful URL Filter on top of the content analysis engine gives you the most effective protection against all threats, known and unknown.  From sex to search engines, the Clearswift URL database covers every conceivable subject matter that could be of harm to your business.

How it works
The URL Filter is an optional plug-in to the MIMEsweeper for Web solution that blocks web access to websites blacklisted by your security policy.

When a page is requested, MIMEsweeper identifies the user and their web access privileges. The requested URL is then checked against the blacklist appropriate to that user. If the site is blacklisted, the transfer is blocked. If you prefer, the user is notified and an administrator alerted.

All activity, blocked and allowed, is recorded for in-depth reporting to analyse web usage and traffic patterns.

Comprehensive – The URL database behind the filter is the most comprehensive on the market, with over a billion web pages and 6.3 million URLs.

Policy-friendly – The URLs are organised into 40 categories and 130 subtopics – everything from pornography to webmail to job search – so you can tune your security policy with extreme precision.

Global – Covers sites across over 200 countries in more than 65 languages.

Updated daily - by 40 full-time researchers. More than 35,000 new URLs are added each week and out-of-date URLs are culled.

Flexible – Set access duration or file size thresholds; time-sensitive filtering can allow out-of-hours or lunchtime surfing; customise any way your policy dictates.

MIMEsweeper for Domino

Total content security for Lotus environments

Digital threats – including spam, viruses and inappropriate content – don’t always come from outside. They may originate internally and get circulated between departments or sent outside the company.

MIMEsweeper for Domino brings the world’s most comprehensive content security solution to Lotus Domino environments. It is a policy-based solution that lets you manage threats in all Domino mail and databases.

How it works
MIMEsweeper for Domino is available in two versions; one for Domino R5 environments and one now for R6 also.

All email within Domino is filtered in four steps before being forwarded or quarantined (as your security policy dictates):

• Total content security for internal and external Domino-based email and Notes databases.
• Prevents circulation of confidential information, inappropriate email content and misuse of internal email.
• Reduces network congestion by managing file size, scheduling delivery and removing inappropriate attachments and undesirable file types (MP3s, AVIs, MPEGs, executables, etc.).
• works with your chosen anti-virus tools to block viruses on internal email.
