Secure Computing's IronMail Prevents Outbound Content Leak

Secure Computing Corporation and Workshare have jointly released Workshare Network Protect for IronMail, a network-based outbound content security appliance that integrates with and augments Secure Computing's IronMail messaging security and content management products, and Workshare's Protect Enterprise Suite. Under the agreement, Secure Computing and its channel partners will market and sell Network Protect for IronMail and all other components of the Protect Enterprise Suite including the Protect Client.

The integrated solution is said to protect sensitive information such as intellectual property and private customer, HR and financial information found in both visible and hidden content, and provides:

• Leveraging content filtering techniques such as fingerprinting, lexical analysis and clustering
• Protection for data formats including support for more than 370 file formats and analysis of both visible and hidden content in messages and attachments based on actual content and the identities of the sender and recipients
• Real-time assessment and management of risk through integrated policy, incident management and reporting

• Centralised policy management and enforcement via the Secure Computing messaging gateway which can enforce specific remediation actions such as block or encrypt, including those recommended by Workshare Network Protect

• End-point to gateway protection, leveraging Workshare Protect Client for protection on individual clients and Secure Computing's messaging security gateway
