MailGate SC – Data Sheet
Securing enterprise collaboration through email and file sharing on a unified platform
Email is the primary collaboration tool employees use to share information and send large files. As the volume of email flowing into your enterprise network increases, so does the threat of unsolicited and potentially malicious intrusions. At the same time, as your employees rely more heavily on email for official business communications and data exchange, the risk of proprietary files, intellectual property, and sensitive information leaking out also grows. Today more than ever, IT managers need to deploy secure collaboration tools to protect the organization’s valuable assets and comply with corporate policies, while at the same time empowering employees to get their jobs done in and out of the office and via mobile devices.
MailGate SC stands guard at the Internet gateway, preventing potentially damaging messages and attachments from entering your network, and ensuring that sensitive information doesn’t exit accidentally or unsecured.
Combining network protection, policy-based content filtering, and automated encryption in a single, integrated solution, MailGate SC protects your email network inside and out, reducing administrative headaches, infrastructure costs, and the liabilities associated with unsecured and unmanaged communications.
