InfoWatch present a new product for corporate e-mail archiving, investigating leaks of confidential information, and compliance with national and international standards.
InfoWatch, a developer of cutting-edge anti-leakage software solutions, announces the release of InfoWatch Mail Storage – a new product designed for creating a corporate e-mail archive, investigating leaks of confidential information, and achieving the compliance with national and international IT security standards and laws.
This program gives large corporate customers the ability to create a multi-function, centralized system for keeping track of and storing e-mail correspondence with high productivity, capacity, and security that meets national and international requirements. It provides special options for retrospective analysis of traffic and is the ideal tool for investigating confidential information leaks through e-mail,” says Eugene Preobrazhensky, InfoWatch CEO.
InfoWatch Mail Storage consists of the storage subsystem and the service subsystem. Both parts of the solution are located on dedicated servers, support high-end cluster architecture, and are distinguished by high scalability by adding uniform modules. The storage subsystem runs Oracle 10g and accumulates e-mail traffic in a centralized archive. It contains easy-to-use graphic interfaces for three categories of storage operators and search and archived document analysis functions. You can search by formal e-mail features (subject, date, address, and other attributes), and using the powerful linguistic engine, with support for Unicode. The services subsystem provides effective interaction between the archive and the e-mail server and includes an intellectual e-mail processing service for balanced e-mail traffic archiving.
Together these features can systematize and monitor the history of corporate e-mail and efficiently uncover the sources, content, and direction of confidential information leaks. InfoWatch Mail Storage architecture provides exceptionally high productivity figures. In operating mode, the system is capable of processing 50,000 e-mails or 10 GB of traffic per day and maintain an actual e-mail archive for at least three years.
InfoWatch Mail Storage is available on its own or as a part of InfoWatch Enterprise Solution Suite, the full-scale solution that includes the entire product line. In the second case, InfoWatch Mail Storage has the advantage of deep integration with InfoWatch MailMonitor and InfoWatch WebMonitor (online filtration of e-mail and web traffic to prevent leaks of confidential information). This allows e-mail archive objects to be preliminarily categorized by the degree of threat to internal IT security, to use the category as an additional former feature when analyzing correspondence, and to add web traffic data to the archive (web mail messages, forums, chats).
InfoWatch Mail Storage also provides clients with a solution for another important problem — conformance with national and international standards and legislation. The regulatory bases of the majority of countries contain specific mandatory requirements for organizations' IT systems in order to prevent scams and increase the security of the national IT infrastructure as a whole. Such laws include the Sarbanes Oxley Act (USA), Basel II (EU), Rules of Business Practice (England), and numerous national acts on data security aimed at protecting the integrity of reporting and regulating the storage of business documentation, including the form of the e-mail archive. By implementing InfoWatch Mail Storage, customers can reach for conformity with both national and international requirements.
"InfoWatch Mail Storage covers several important tasks for the corporate IT system at once: creating a high-productivity e-mail archive, implementing a powerful tool for investigating confidential information leaks, and conforming to industry standards and legislative requirements,” said Denis Zenkin, InfoWatch Marketing Director. "We are certain that InfoWatch Mail Storage will help customers increase the reliability and ease of use of their IT systems and we do not doubt that the product will be a success on the corporate software market."
