Clearswift to host email security managed service



MIMEsweeper Email Managed Service filters and manages email for all sizes of organisation. It provides comprehensive defence against spam, viruses, spyware, phishing and denial of service attacks. With no hardware or software to install it is easy to use, manage and maintain.
The new service takes the burden of email security away from overworked IT teams. The MIMEsweeper Email Managed Service combines the rigour of the Clearswift MIMEsweeper product portfolio with expert hosted management and implementation.
IT departments are under immense pressure to provide fast, affordable and efficient content security, while meeting tougher compliance and corporate governance standards, according to Peter Croft, managing director Clearswift Asia Pacific.
With MIMEsweeper Email Managed Service, customers can leave their email security to Clearswift, he said.
Key features of MIMEsweeper Email Managed Service include:
Effortless email security no software, hardware or maintenance
24x7 hosting offering complete physical security, software resilience and support with 99.999% availability
Eliminates 98% of spam with less than 1 in 300,000 false positives
Every email message, inbound or outbound, thoroughly checked by best-of-breed anti-spam, anti-virus and content security technologies before being released with the minimum delay.
MIMEsweeper Email Managed Service also incorporates market-leading external and internal email archiving, and a full audit trail to meet exacting corporate governance standards. Unlike many competing services, no extra hardware or software is required for the archiving functionality.
Additional features are:
Multi-layered anti-spam defences including mass outbreak detection, multiple configurations for Dark Mail protection and silent rejection of Dark Mail (spam sent to guessed email addresses)*
Real-time dual location replication of static and transient data to ensure no loss of email
Multiple virus filters for maximum protection
Filtering of all inbound and outbound traffic

*Dark Mail makes up about 40% of email traffic. Most managed services can reject Dark Mail but actually give the spammers confirmation of valid addresses. Uniquely MIMEsweeper Email Managed Service silently rejects these messages so that the spammers dont get any useful information.
