Overview:

While inbound email threats receive the bulk of attention from network administrators, outbound email can cause tremendous problems for organizations. Through outbound email, confidential information can get into the wrong hands, servers can crash from dangerously-sized attachments, and organizations face risk a liability from the distribution of emails containing inappropriate content.

Risks like these, however, can be prevented by integrating MX Logic Outbound Message Filtering. While the MX Logic's comprehensive email defense is protecting your network from malevolent incoming email messages, Outbound Message Filtering enables businesses and service providers to proactively integrate email policy enforcement for all messages leaving corporate networks en route to valued customers or business partners.

• Prevent the distribution of company-sensitive information
• Prohibit outbound delivery of messages with inappropriate content
• Strip oversize attachments
• Block the transmission of harmful viruses and worms

Outbound Message Filtering also enables businesses to protect intellectual property by preventing the accidental or intentional distribution of sensitive or proprietary internal information. Finally, integrating outbound message filtering allows businesses to enforce policies that help comply with legislative, privacy and security regulations.

Available as part of our comprehensive email defense solution, Outbound Message Filtering is critical to overall network protection.

A Closer Look:

While businesses are becoming painfully aware of the dangers associated with incoming email, more and more attention is now being paid to outgoing email risks. MX Logic Outbound Message Filtering is now a must-have for organizations intent on protecting the integrity of information leaving the corporate network.

Filtering content, attachments, and viruses and worms

With MX Logic Outbound Message Filtering, businesses can establish specific policies for all messages leaving the corporate network. Our outbound filtering service allows organizations to set parameters around content and attachments, and ensure that viruses and worms will be automatically stripped from outgoing messages.

Content Filtering helps maintain your corporate image

Any sized business can use MX Logic Outbound Message Filtering to monitor and enforce the appropriateness of outbound corporate messages and prevent inappropriate, malicious or confidential content from leaving the corporate email system. With this added protection, you can reduce legal liability and corporate sabotage by preventing the distribution of company-sensitive information and tasteless email messages.

Attachment Filtering keeps dangerous attachments out of the network

Attachment Filtering is another feature of Outbound Message Filtering, and automatically filters attachments by size, by media type or by binary content. Monitoring and stripping attachments is important for businesses today because dangerously-sized or malicious attachments can quickly overload servers - slowing or even halting network traffic.

Virus and Worm Scanning ensures that only clean email is transmitted

Because there are times when viruses and worms can enter your network at the desktop level, our Outbound Filtering includes Virus and Worm Scanning. Using a layered strategy which combines WormTraq®, our zero-hour proprietary worm detection engine, with signature-based engines from Authentium®, McAfee® and Sophos®, MX Logic can stop viruses and worms from leaving the corporate email system and infecting recipients.
