Identify and quarantine email borne virus infection
The most obvious content security threat that is experienced today is that of virus infection. New viruses continue to emerge and there appears to be no slackening of pace. Many IT departments will already have anti-virus provisions in place, however the administrative problem of keeping the current virus list up to date can eat into IT budgets and become an administrative burden. The advantage of allowing e-Sweeper to carry this burden is that its virus pattern files are updated continuously in the background. Therefore we can provide an extremely timely and accurate service. Indeed, the automated nature of the e-Sweeper background processes provide even more direct benefits to users of the service. Hoax lists and spam lists can also be picked up by the e-Sweeper™ Agents during their regular update cycle.

Filter spam keywords and phrases

Unsolicited commercial email (UCE) otherwise known as spam is at best a nuisance and at worst a waste of bandwidth, time and money. e-Sweeper uses advanced text analysis to identify today's and tomorrow's spam, providing a high-performance and flexible approach to managing junk email.

End user administrators can also define white-lists of email addresses that will bypass the normal anti-spam policy. This is useful for allowing mail that may be identified as spam (listserver news bulletins etc) but is in fact valid email.

Block specific file-types

Terabytes of data are sent around the world via email every day clogging the bandwidth of the Internet, networks and mail gateways. The main issue is not the number of emails but their size and attachments.

For example, program files are often larger than 1Mb and are not always business-related. They also commonly carry viruses. Having a tool to control their propagation is essential to maintaining network and system integrity.

Today a company's value is underpinned by the amount of intellectual property and commercial data they own. Every day, hundreds of megabytes of confidential information and personal data information gets disseminated through email. Many companies do not need to send email with included or embedded graphi. Image and video files can contain offensive material or breach copyright. Companies need to manage this information flow - e-Sweeper is a simple and effective answer.

Manage inappropriate images

There are very few reasons why organisations should allow their employees to circulate images that have a high proportion of flesh-tones. e-Sweeper now incorporates some of the award winning technology seen in PORNsweeper for identifying inappriopriate images within their acceptable email usage policy.

This functionality can add some latency to the processing of mail and therefore service providers can opt to disable this from their users.

Attach legal disclaimers

With the transfer of liability for electronic circulation of information from the employee to the employer, many companies now need the capability to attach legal disclaimers to emails. In addition, service providers can use this feature to add text to dial-up users email to advertise new features.

Scan for offensive keywords and phrases

Profanity. Sexual expletives. Obscene language. Their usage in email from a company's domain equates to their usage on company letterhead and the damage caused can be devastating. e-Sweeper enables organizations to reduce legal liability and avoid the damage to their image caused by improper language.

Separate quarantine areas for different threat types

The e-Sweeper service allows you to view and perform actions on 8 separate quarantine areas for easier management. The quarantine areas correspond to the primary classifications of content threat; virus, spam, inappropriate language, images, video, attachments, executables, documents and encryption.

Web-based reporting that can be manipulated interactively or scheduled for regular delivery via email

e-Sweeper allows you and your customers the ability to generate configurable reports on email usage which can then be emailed to the administrator or anyone else in either html, excel or word format.

Inclusive virus protection using industry leading anti-virus tools

Virus protection using reliable anti-virus tools virus scanning is provided using at least one of the industry's top anti-virus tools.
