TLS uses digital certificates to authenticate the user as well as authenticate the network (in a wireless encryption. By deploying the Edge Server, a company's servers will be more reliable, the networks faster and storage less packed with unwanted information. With less information flowing to the main core of MIMEsweeper, email will arrive faster and reporting will be more responsive while reducing the amount of maintenance required. With the addition of the Edge Server, MIMEsweeper Policy Servers will sit inside the network and focus on content management and policy enforcement. "The Edge Server allows our customers to focus on getting the most business enablement from their MIMEsweeper investment, while leaving all of the daily email noise for Clearswift to handle," said Alyn Hockey, director of product management for Clearswift. The Edge Server features a secure Linux core and powerful operating philosophy, and takes Clearswift's concept of Service Based Architecture to another level by splitting email and Internet security ''This article or section is being rewritten at Internet security is the process of protecting data and privacy of devices connected to internet from information robbery, hacking, malware infection and unwanted software. solutions deployments between the safe network and the DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) A middle ground between an organization's trusted internal network and an untrusted, external network such as the Internet. Also called a "perimeter network," the DMZ is a subnetwork (subnet) that may sit between firewalls or off one leg of a . Clearswift is making it possible for companies to move their MIMEsweeper Policy Servers into the safe network, where they can process clean email and enforce data leakage and acceptable use policies, while placing the Edge Server in the DMZ to stop threats from reaching the corporate network.

"This evolution of Clearswift's product strategy will allow MIMEsweeper users to optimise email boundary hygiene, and exploit Clearswift's policy enforcement and data loss prevention capabilities inside the network." Hockey added, "The Edge Server will handle the incoming threats right at the gateway. It's an easy to manage and maintain solution for email hygiene. It means more free time for IT, more bandwidth, more disk space, more responsiveness and more security."
