SecureTide™ Outbound Email Filtering

The Importance of Outbound Filtering

Important company data or offensive email that is leaked to outside sources can quickly put a company's reputation at risk or expose the business to expensive and time consuming legal action. It is up to companies to take responsibility for their employees' actions and keep their networks clean. SmartHost from AppRiver is an easy, effective and affordable way to protect your business by filtering your outbound mail

Benefits of Outbound Filtering

SmartHost outbound email filtering program cleans all internal emails before they are sent from the network's system. This reduces the risk of improper routing and misuse of the company's resources, as well as unapproved messaging.

  • Reduces the chance of regulatory violations and penalties
  • Prevents loss of information assets
  • Stops abuse of email resources
  • Improves email deliverability
  • Reduces processing load on email servers

Filtering Tools – Attachment Filtering

Large attachments can quickly bog down a company's email service by monopolizing the bandwidth. They also run a high risk of containing viruses or malicious content that even the sender is unaware of. AppRiver's email spam filtering gives clients the ability to develop custom guidelines for attachments, so their company's needs are completely met.

SmartHost:

  • Blocks the delivery of large, malevolent files
  • Prevents emailing of specific file formats based on company parameters
  • Reduce the threats of sending viruses or worms to outside clients,

Filtering Tools - Content Filtering

Business owners can't monitor every email their employees send, but SmartHost protects against the possibility of inappropriate content or proprietary information being sent to someone outside the company. SmartHost offers peace of mind by

  • Blocking specific words and phrases from leaving the internal email system
  • Preventing the distribution of company-sensitive information to outside sources
  • Giving power of decision to administrators (email can be deleted or forwarded once it is quarantined)
  • Stopping delivery of offensive content to end users

Filtering Tools Disclaimer/Signature Placement

Uniform disclaimers on company emails can help add an extra layer of protection against legal action. Without a disclaimer, companies are more vulnerable to potential liability problems from breach of contract to regulatory violations. Professional email signatures also show outside recipients a certain level of professionalism and reliability. Signatures are also useful in providing important contact information, such as the company's address, email or phone number.

  • Reduces the chance of regulatory violations and penalties
  • Reduces the chance of lawsuits
  • Deters people from seeking legal compensation
  • Promotes an image of professionalism
