Clearswift Simplifies Content Security for Internal E-mail; MIMEsweeper for Exchange v5.2 and MIMEsweeper for Domino v8.0 Deliver Seamless Content Security.

LONDON -- Clearswift today continues to simplify content security by launching new versions of its internal e-mail solutions: MIMEsweeper for Exchange and MIMEsweeper for Domino. These new products are released at a time when enterprises the world over are struggling to comply with continuously evolving regulatory demands.

MIMEsweeper for Exchange and MIMEsweeper for Domino do everything you've come to expect from the award-winning MIMEsweeper technology, but apply it to internal e-mail traffic. They enable organisations to protect against legal, social and moral threats circulating via internal e-mail communication between users on Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino servers.

"MIMEsweeper for Exchange is the only e-mail security solution for Exchange environments on the market today to provide deep content inspection and filtering. We have upgraded the product to bring it into line with our enterprise-class content security solution, MIMEsweeper for SMTP 5.2, so that our customers can now monitor internal e-mail as comprehensively as e-mail entering or leaving through the gateway," Clearswift Chief Operating Officer, Ian Bowles, said.

Both products offer a range of updated features including greater scalability, enhanced management functionality and improved threat detection capabilities. In addition to this, Clearswift has addressed the needs of specific vertical markets such as financial institutions, healthcare and public sector organisations, and developed new functionality that prevents the unauthorised circulation of payment card information, social security and other protected data.

"We have specifically developed our internal e-mail security solutions with the administrative user in mind. Both products now have significantly more flexible reporting facilities, policy wizards and deployment options. We have worked unstintingly to create user-friendly solutions that do not compromise on security and provide exceptional protection against internal e-mail threats," Mr. Bowles said.

Internal e-mail is the often forgotten security loophole. Internal messaging systems can act as breeding grounds for profanity and sexual or racial harassment and can soon flood e-mail systems as users circulate offensive jokes and other non-business related material. "Surprisingly, a large number of organisations ignore the internal threats that their internal messaging systems can produce. Clearswift's Exchange and Domino products take the hassle out of managing the internal e-mail issue by giving the e-mail administrator exceptional ease of use," Mr. Bowles said.

MIMEsweeper for Exchange is designed with the same console, look and feel as MIMEsweeper for SMTP 5.2. This is particularly important for the thousands of companies worldwide that use our SMTP gateway solution. It will enable them to seamlessly integrate our Exchange product into their Microsoft environment and close the security gaps left open by unfiltered internal e-mail traffic.

MIMEsweeper for Domino is the equivalent of MIMEsweeper for Exchange for IBM Lotus Domino environments and is a comprehensive content security solution. It has been updated with the MIMEsweeper SMTP Appliance UI, and supports the latest versions of the Lotus offering.

"Companies implementing MIMEsweeper for Exchange or Domino combined with MIMEsweeper for SMTP are ensuring that they have a complete, layered e-mail security solution and are safely protected against both internal and external threats," Mr. Bowles concluded.
