What does the MIMEsweeper™ Email Appliance do?

Keep out the junk, protect your data and users.

The MIMEsweeper Email Appliance filters and analyzes all mail entering or leaving your organization to make sure it adheres to your policy.

The Threats:

  • Confidential data – if you need to send it, make sure it is not sent in the clear
  • Data Leaks – loss of confidential, sensitive and legally protected data
  • Nasty content – inappropriate, illegal and unpleasant material
  • Malware – viruses, phishing attacks, Trojans and worms
  • Spam – time wasting, unproductive and potentially damaging
  • Network degradation – from massive payloads and frivolous downloads

In short, you can apply any policy at all and do it by user, by group, by time of day – any way you choose. What's more with our common policy console you can unite your e-mail and Web security under one policy.

Powerful, affordable Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Up to 70% of data loss is caused by human error – and a fifth of all leaks go through e-mail. The MIMEsweeper Email Appliance stops data breaches, preventing them before they leave your company or ensuring that if they are sent then they are encrypted. It’s all achieved by enforcing 5 simple controls within your data loss policy:

  1. Protect your messages on the move - if you are sending confidential information via e-mail to trusted organizations or contacts, then policy-based routing will allow you to ensure all required messages are encrypted.
  2. Pre-defined regular expressions – identify the movement of personally identifiable information (PII), payment card information (PCI), social security numbers, patient identifiers, etc and take the appropriate remedial action. Regular expressions can also be created using a simple expression language, for the detection of any formatted identifiers, patient identifiers, bank account details, driving license numbers, etc.
  3. Prevent employee abuse - Built in managed lists for inappropriate content such as profanity protect your users and your organization.
  4. Content filtering – protect confidential information and loss of competitive advantage (product designs, financial disclosures, etc.) by spotting key words or phrases, digital watermarks, unrecognized file formats or un-scanned encrypted traffic.
  5. Tailored compliance checks – ensure regulatory compliance for regulated information, by user, group or location, with alerting, message tracking, reporting and auditing.

Best-of-breed boundary security ‘hygiene’

Stops spam in its tracks – designed to detect >99% of spam with little or no false positives using the enhanced SpamLogic™ and TRUSTmanager™ reputation service plus greylisting, whitelists, real-time blocklists and BATV (Bounce Address Tag Validation) to stop ‘backscatter’.

Block Viruses and Malware – the award winning Kaspersky anti-virus regularly comes out top in independent AV tests and of course the MIMEsweeper content engine provides added zero day protection as it automatically blocks any unrecognized file and data types. Phishing URL’s and other types of Web based e-mail attacks are also taken care of.

The tight integration of the MIMEsweeper content engine, our anti-spam technology and Kaspersky ensures e-mail traffic is cleaned of any security risks.

It all comes down to policy
E-mail security starts and ends with your policy. The MIMEsweeper Email Appliance makes it incredibly easy to deploy your policy at the gateway and enforce it for every packet entering or leaving the network.
