Products

All products include Deep Packet Inspection

"Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP is built on the same MIMEsweeper content-aware filtering technology that powers the Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway and SECURE Email Gateway.

It offers real-time bidirectional scanning of all email, meaning both incoming and outgoing messages are checked for viruses, malware and content confidentiality. Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP performs deep analysis on Compressed and normal attachments, detecting and examining content even if files are embedded. By default, attempts to evade scanning using password-protected files or unauthorised encryption are blocked so no content evades Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP's scrutiny... with Clearswift IMAGEmanager installed. Clearswift MIMEsweeper for SMTP monitors images exchanged via email to ensure legitimacy of content. Fast and reliable image-detection algorithms are able to detect and then quarantine pornographic and obscene images attachments. Clearswift IMAGEmanager can also identify and filter emailed images that containing confidential company information or intellectual property."
