Whilst network security is commonly associated with AntiVirus and Firewall technology, these are only two of the key issues to be addressed. Consider your network security as an airport security system. Firewall technology can be considered the passport control of your organisation, ensuring those using the network are authorised. However once through passport control further customs checks take place to ensure luggage and personal belongings do not pose a threat. MAILsweeper provides the "customs checks" in identifying the contents of e-mail and web based traffic. Identifiable threats include the circulation of inappropriate images and text, Spam and oversize files that can cause degradation in network service, loss and corruption of data, breaches of confidentiality, as well as viruses and malicious code.
