How does the
MailGuard service work?
MailGuard is
an e-mail management and anti-virus solution (utilising and
supported by McAffee [NAI], Sophos & Norton [Symantec]) that
diligently protects organisations from viruses and unwanted e-mails
without the need to purchase any software or hardware.
Today, more
than 95% of viruses are transmitted by e-mail. (Ferris
Research). MailGuard provides useful information and statistics
to help companies decide on ‘e-mail policy’, which may then be
implemented and enforced.
MailGuard
provides detailed information and total control over the types and
sizes of e-mail attachments that are sent and received by
organisations users.
Key
statistics such as e-mail sent and received by person, types of
attachments and average size allows the company to better manage
Internet bandwidth. Rules set to manage content and keywords allows
organisations to control, monitor and limit legal exposure due to
inappropriate or offensive e-mail content.
