Deep content inspection and filtering

Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP is built on the same MIMEsweeper content-aware filtering technology that powers the Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway and SECURE Email Gateway.

It offers real-time bidirectional scanning of all email, meaning both incoming and outgoing messages are checked for viruses, malware and content confidentiality. Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP performs deep analysis on Compressed and normal attachments, detecting and examining content even if files are embedded. By default, attempts to evade scanning using password-protected files or unauthorised encryption are blocked so no content evades Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP’s scrutiny.

Strong spam defence

The depth and quality of Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP’s inspection and filtering provides reassurance that your organisation is protected from malware and data leaks.

Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP’s SpamLogic technology, meanwhile, delivers real-time protection against unsolicited email – with an accuracy of 99.5%. Such dependability is achieved through intelligent scanning and categorisation of message source, content and destination to identify spam.

Customers can also deploy the Edge server which is an additional server that is deployed in front of the MIMEsweeper for SMTP product to utilise theTRUSTmanager technology to reject the majority of inbound spam, without having to even see the message contents.  TRUSTmanager is a managed reputation database that  enables messages originating from senders with poor reputations are quarantined, while allowing other emails to flow freely.  The Edge server can also run Kaspersky Anti-virus which could be different from the Anti-virus on the MIMEsweeper for SMTP product, providing an additional layer of AV protection.

Maximum flexibility, easier administration

Creating and managing effective policies is simple with Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP. Multi-level, roles-based administration means it’s straightforward for even large, distributed enterprises to manage the sharing, storage and routing of incoming and outgoing email.

Granular control over policy allows rules to be constructed individual users, if required, while wider policies can be set to work at group, department or even location level. Integration with Directory servers provides the information about the different users and groups, so when employees join and leave, the synchronisation between policy and the corporate user base is always consistent. As well, Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP’s ability to delegate release of quarantined messages to individual users can save considerable time on administration.
