SECNAP Enhances Email Security Gateway

SECNAP(R) Network Security Corporation has enhanced its Email Security Gateway product with the addition of Email Content Filtering, enabling clients to monitor and control the content of inbound and outbound email messages and enforce policies to prevent sensitive data from being leaked. The addition is one in a series of ongoing enhancements that keep SpammerTrap on the cutting edge of email security.


A recent Identity Theft Resource Center report indicates that more than 35 million data records were breached last year in the U.S., and that the overall number of breaches jumped 47 percent. Data leakage, whether intentional or inadvertent, has become an enormous problem.


SpammerTrap email content filtering provides an additional layer of security against this threat. Client system administrators use a simple set-up screen to specify rules for filtering personally identifiable information (PII), such as social security and account numbers, along with keywords, customized expressions, and patterns of content. Several other features add to client convenience, including:


-- Filtering of either subject content, email body content, or both
-- Four options for control of individual emails containing specified
content (tag, quarantine, whitelist, or block)
-- Robust reporting functionality for tracking content filtering results
and measuring performance.


"This enhancement provides advanced data protection," said SECNAP chief technology officer, Michael Scheidell. "It also facilitates compliance with SOX, HIPAA and GLBA regulatory requirements, and helps clients avoid the unwanted publicity that can result from compromised email."
