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. In the end, companies must take responsibility for their employees' actions and keep their networks clean. Many businesses take the initiative by incorporating an email filtering system into their network.

Benefits of Outbound Filtering

AppRiver helps companies take control with our email spam filtering service. Our outbound email filtering program cleans all internal emails before they are sent from the network's system. This spam filtering service 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.

• 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, vendors, etc.

Filtering Tools - Content Filtering

Inappropriate content can put a company at risk for liability problems, especially if employees believe that the employer is not taking steps to protect them from offensive information. Our outbound email filtering monitors both internal and external email communication to help ensure that the content being sent is appropriate.

• Prevents specific words and phrases from leaving the internal email system
• Prevents the distribution of company-sensitive information to outside sources
• Gives power of decision to administrator (email can be deleted or forwarded once it is quarantined)
• Reduces 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
• Increases image of professionalism
