Content and Attachment Filtering
Overview:
As with the security threats posed by viruses and worms, organizations
are now becoming more aware of the risk and liability associated
with inappropriate content and attachments in email. This damaging
power exists in emails that contain racially-insensitive material,
offensive jokes, or company-sensitive information, and attachments
that contain pornographic images or viruses, or that are so large
they devour network bandwidth.
These risks are no match for MX Logic Content and Attachment
Filtering, an essential component of our comprehensive, network-edge
email defense solutions. Content and Attachment Filtering is the
most effective way to eliminate threats stealthily embedded in email
content and malevolently attached to incoming messages. From a content
filtering perspective, our solution:
- Supports specific keyword filtering for organizations that
require unique filtering policies
- Blocks inbound and outbound transmission of proprietary
data, profanity, and inappropriate content
- Incorporates multi-level HTML protection against web bugs
and spam beacons
- Group policies management for customizing policies to meet
the unique needs of user groups
MX Logic Content and Attachment Filtering also protects the messaging
network from the bandwidth-draining effects of dangerously-sized
or malicious attachments.
Available as part of our comprehensive email defense solutions,
MX Logic Content and Attachment Filtering is critical to overall
email network protection.
A Closer Look:
To reduce the myriad of legal issues that can be associated with
the delivery and receipt of email, it is vital for organizations
to incorporate robust content and attachment filtering as part of
an overall anti-spam and anti-virus defense.
Email protection customized to support unique corporate policies
MX Logic Content and Attachment Filtering supports specific keyword
filtering and attachment control - especially important for those
organizations that require specific corporate filtering policies
be established for both incoming and outgoing messages. In addition
to standard keyword "buckets" developed by MX Logic, organizations
have the flexibility to program their filtering policies to meet
their unique needs through Group policies management. The service
can be easily configured to:
- Block inbound and outbound emails containing specific keywords
- Prohibit outbound delivery of private or corporate data
- Block profanity and racially- or sexually-insensitive terms
- Customize content and attachment policies to meet the needs
of specific user groups
Attachment filtering keeps out large, malicious files
Dangerously-sized or malicious attachments are also threatening
to the messaging networks. In combination with our spam blocking
detection technology, Content and Attachment Filtering can be programmed
to monitor email traffic and filter attachments according to business-specific
configurations. Based on specific parameters, the service will:
- Block the delivery of oversize files
- Prevent emailing of specific MIME media types (.exe, .vbs,
.mp3, etc.)
- Protect the network from archive files (e.g., .zip) that
can disable message servers
HTML protection blocks the bugs and filters suspect text
Because malware can now take many forms, MX Logic provides multi-level
HTML content protection designed to identify and block spam beacons
or web bugs. These intrusive, almost unperceivable tags embedded
in HTML give spammers the ability to monitor end-user activity and
obtain certain information about them. This HTML shield:
- Denies spammers from knowing when or if their spam email
is being read
- Prevents spammers from verifying recipient email addresses
- Can be configured to filter suspect HTML, JavaScript, ActiveX
and applets
