Content and policy enforcement

Implement Corporate Policies to Ensure Confidentiality and Usability While Adhering to Regulatory Requirements

Enterprises today are looking to gain control over the content that flows through email. Beyond offensive content, viruses, spam, content and policy enforcement tools are required to secure confidential or legal material, while also implementing and maintaining human resource policies. Increasingly more organisations are coming under scrutiny for non-compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA. To help combat these issues, enterprises must put the right tools in place to not only control policy and content, but to also apply these policies selectively to users.

Corporate IT Security and Accountability

Implementing content and policy controls within an existing email infrastructure is challenging. Existing solutions to control content are dispersed across the enterprise resulting in inconsistent coverage and control while inconsistent policies are as effective as having no policies at all.

Extensible Content Filtering

MXtreme's centralised policy tools enable administrators to consistently enforce corporate policies with advanced content filters searching message headers, message body and attachments based on the configuration you choose. MXtreme's policy tools scan inbound and outbound email messages to reduce your company's risk exposure. MXtreme's policy creation tools make it easy to implement customised filters to meet your organisation's unique needs. Policies can be designed to search for languages or phrases that you do not want to leave your corporate email gateway, while MXtreme's advanced attachment control enables you to block or allow attachments and can be implemented globally, by domain, by group, or individual user. For ease of use and integration into existing management schemes, MXtreme can import and use group definitions from databases like Active Directory using LDAP.

Rich Disposition Options

When one of MXtreme's content policies is triggered, you can take advantage of a number of advanced disposition options such as blocking a message, notifying the administrator, or quarantining the message and sending an automated notification response. MXtreme's advanced database and reporting engine logs all email that flows through the mail firewall, and will notify you if an attempted policy breach occurs. This enables you to keep your sensitive information secure.
