With email at the core of business collaboration, it’s important that email security solutions provide an effective safety net without preventing a company from conducting its ‘business as usual’ activities. Traditional data loss prevention methods ‘stop and block’ emails that contain sensitive information, which can frustrate employees and lead to them finding a workaround – presenting yet another risk to the organization. 

Clearswift’s SECURE Email Gateway (SEG) differentiates itself from other email security solutions with its unique adaptive redaction technology. Rather than stopping the email altogether, SEG ensures that the information – deemed sensitive by the organization’s defined policy – is simply removed and the rest of the communication flow continues, minimizing the operational impact on the business.

Incorporating a robust Deep Content Inspection (DCI) engine, all information flowing through an organization’s email system is inspected, risks identified, and the appropriate level of security applied. For example, where an employee sends an email with a zip file attached, the file contains documents that contain links to further documents or embedded images. The Clearswift SEG deconstructs the email and attachment, analyzes its contents to determine which component breaks company policy, removes it, then allows the remaining ‘safe’ email and attachments to be delivered.

SEG’s advanced features help protect against new/little known threats – very few security solutions scan digital image files for threats, but Clearswift’s SEG does. Clearswift’s anti-steganography, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and redaction technologies protect organizations from today’s lesser known threats in images. Clearswift’s SEG scans and analyses all information flowing into and out of the network – email messages, attachments, images – in real-time, detecting and mitigating risks and threats, without affecting communication flow.
