EMAILXTENDER - EXTENDING EMAIL ARCHIVING FOR EXCHANGE & NOTES TO MEET SEC/NASD COMPLIANCE

EmailXtender brings the power of large scale data management to email messaging. It enhances MS-Exchange, Lotus Notes, and UNIX Sendmail by

  • Automatically copying every email and attachment into a tamper-proof Enterprise Message Center 

  • Harnessing a powerful full-text search engine to give complete access to your messages and attachments from the normal email client

  • Reducing email server size stress and bottlenecks by automatically classifying and migrating messages and attachments through life-cycle management

  • Enterprise level scalability supporting the industry's broadest array of removable media storage options. Integrates seamlessly and transparently with OTG's DiskXtender to maximize storage resources

This technology has now been enhanced through the Examiner module to support organizations who need to comply with SEC 17a-4 and NASD 3010/3110 archiving, auditing and retrieval requirements.

Flexible Sampling Rules - All outgoing or incoming messages for the members of each review group are sampled using representative sampling techniques and the results are aggregated into sets for supervisory review, reporting and retention

Supervisory Review - Authorized supervisors review sampled messages using a simplified work cycle within either Outlook or Lotus Notes. All actions are recorded for report & audit. 

Support for Major Messaging products - Fully compatible with Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino plus daily deliveries from Bloomberg Mail can be parsed. Full integration with EmailXtender and DiskXtender gives cost effective support for long term retention requirements.

MAIL ATTENDER FOR MS EXCHANGE MANAGES DOCUMENT RETENTION & DELETION

Mail Attender for Exchange is an extension of the popular Mail Attender for Lotus Domino administrative support tool, now designed to manage Microsoft Exchange information stores.  It can be used to provide an automated document retention/deletion capability where the user is forced to take an action to keep a document beyond the retention period.

It also provides ad-hoc searching capabilities to identify inappropriate or threatening emails or attachments already residing in the Exchange Information Store to help in legal discovery: identify emails relating to a specific legal action, identify inappropriate or threatening emails or attachments such as viruses, mp3 files, avi files, mail containing particular keywords etc.

It can offload attachments into a separate 'Archive' database with a link contained in the original email message, saving disk space allocated to the Mail database. 

  • Flexible Mail Restrictions
  • Manage Documents by Age, Size, Content and Type
  • Manage Attachments by Age, Size, Name and Type
  • Track Growth and Quota Limits
  • Flexible Restriction Scheduling
  • Remote Administration Through Outlook

ADDRESSING EMAIL/INTERNET INDUSTRY REGULATIONS FOR HIPAA, SEC & FDA

As email has become ubiquitous in every organization, many new email and internet challenges are being driven by changes in legislation and regulations.  Some of the most common areas affect security and auditability and include:

HIPAA - new privacy laws affect secure management of patient information within and between hospitals, pharmacies, physicians and pharmaceutical companies. 
These organizations should review products such as SecretSweeper for encrypting email, MIMEsweeper and Websweeper for preventing confidential information from leaving the organization through webmail or internal email, Recall Suite for protecting documents after they have been delivered.

SEC/NASD - Securities regulations require broker related email to be inspected and archived for several years to meet strict compliance guidelines. EmailXtender supports this requirement extensively, MIMEsweeper and Websweeper help prevent potentially damaging documents being delivered.

FDA - drug development information shared between drug companies and the FDA needs to be passed in a secure and trusted manner. SecretSweeper/MIMEsweeper combination provides PKI based secure email inspection & exchange.


WEBSENSE PREMIUM GROUP II - INTERNET BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT

Last year, Websense launched a new group of categories in the Websense Master Database called Premium Group I (PGI) - Productivity Management. PGI categories include Advertisements, Freeware/Software Download, Instant Messaging, Online Brokerage & Trading, Pay-to-Surf and Message Boards & Clubs.

Websense now offers Premium Group II (PGII) - Bandwidth Management to the line of products. PGII categories focus on managing employee consumption of network bandwidth. By managing PGII, you can control emerging technologies that are bandwidth hogs, such as Peer-to-Peer file sharing sites and Streaming Media sites.

With Websense Enterprise v4.3, Premium Group II categories will automatically be monitored. By purchasing Premium Group II at an additional cost, you can block these categories and save extra bandwidth.

MIMESWEEPER GOES TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS

The NE Independent School District (NEISD) in San Antonio handles email accounts and Internet access for more than 4,500 staff members located in 56 schools & 4 administrative locations. Each day, approximately 100,000 email messages come into the system. Many carry viruses and worms - a big problem until the district deployed MAILsweeper.

According to District IT Administrator Steven Emilienburg, "There were occasions where up to a third of the staff computers on a particular campus were down due to a new virus. It literally would take days to clean up the mess. Now Mailsweeper is our first line of defense against viruses With the daily updates to a central virus datafile it gives us much more protection".

MAXCOMPRESSION AUTOZIP FOR OUTLOOK ADDS SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS XP

MaXCompression automatically compresses and decompresses attachments for Outlook, Exchange and MS Mail. This reduces network costs, dial-ups times for remote users and reduces storage costs. A user will not be aware that they are sending or receiving files in a compressed format.

MaXCompression now supports Outlook XP and has improvements to its Smart Mode filters - unique filters which allow you decide when files get zipped and when they don't based on the recipient address.
