The next threat after SPAM? probably Instant Messaging!
Akonix L7 protects against the dangers of public instant messaging (IM) (including AOL AIM, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger), peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing (such as Kazaa and Morpheus), and other Rogue Protocols. 

Complementary to our EmailXtender email archiving and MIMEsweeper email filtering solutions, Akonix L7 allows you to:

• Create and enforce corporate policies for instant messaging
• Specify which employees can use IM, and what type of features
• Protect the company from information leakage (by keeping internal messages inside the network)
• Record any or all conversations (log and archive)
• Generate detailed reports on usage (more than a dozen standard reports)
• Protect from viruses (by scanning any file transfers)
• Protect from hackers (by enforcing patched versions)
• Protect from malicious content (by active built-in content filtering)
• Integrate with existing systems (CRM/ERP/Email Archiving such as EmailXtender)
• Assist in compliance with SEC, NASD, and HIPAA regulations

Akonix L7 allows employees to continue to derive the benefits of using public instant messaging, but gives IT administrators the tools they need to secure the network, and manage instant messaging like an enterprise application.

MIMEsweeper Anti-SPAM rated by E-Week Magazine, gains 5 stars from SC Magazine.
MIMEsweeper's new SPAMActive anti-spam service has won glowing reviews. Users of MailSweeper for SMTP can tap SpamActive to get up-to-the-minute updates on spam traffic, as determined by MIMEsweeper's ThreatLab Active. ThreatLab Active collects e-mail messages sent to thousands of decoy e-mail addresses around the world. The messages are analyzed for particular terms and headers; spam profiles are then created and made available on a daily basis.

E-Week says "offers for products designed to enhance performance were substantially cut, as were offers from former princes and first ladies to share their wealth".  SC Magazine gives MIMEsweeper 5 stars and says "it is good to see MIMEsweeper flourishing ... as a hardy and feature-rich suite of products".
