The Problems MailSniffer Solves

The flow of information transmitted by means of electronic mail is currently the least controlled sphere in modern companies’ data space. This loophole is actively used by insiders, and competitors and a lion’s share of confidential and unwanted information gets leaked through Internet, by means of electronic mail. The volume of data sent and received by e-mail only grows and organizing a quality search through it with the help of a mail client is simply impossible.

SearchInform MailSniffer intercepts all incoming and outgoing correspondence and, having indexed it, places it in the storage, thus making it available for full text search. The program also enables you to control the work of your employees, search and find just the information you need in the whole of the company’s e-mail traffic and prevent unsanctioned information disclosure.

Monitoring the work of your employees.
Controlling your employees’ correspondence is an efficient way of checking the quality of their work. SearchInform MailSniffer intercepts all messages on protocol level and places them into a special storage. Access to the intercepted correspondence is granted according to user access rights differentiation set in the system. Usually the rights are distributed according to the company’s hierarchical division. For instance, in such a way that head of the department can access the mailboxes of his subordinates, while the subordinates can only access their own mailbox each. In such a system head of adjoined departments will be able to view the correspondence of both departments.

Search through the company’s mail database.
SearchInform MailSniffer performs high quality full text search through the body of the letter, its attributes (sender, receiver, subject, etc.), as well as through the files attached to it. The program’s unique function of search for documents similar to the query text in contents allows you to search and find the needed information with an exceptionally high speed and accuracy. Since a text extract or even a whole letter is used as a query the results will be as accurate as they can be.

The problem of information disclosure.
SearchInform MailSniffer helps you solve the problem of unauthorized information disclosure via e-mail. The company’s information security people compose a list of key phrases, the occurrence of which will be monitored in each incoming and outgoing message. Once such a key phrase is spotted in a message, an alert containing this message gets automatically sent to those responsible for security. Thus you can easily trace who, how and when tried sending confidential or unauthorized information to the external recipients.

Company’s mail database archive.
The contents of all intercepted letters (including not only the letter itself, but also its attributes and files attached to it) gets indexed and placed into the storage. Thus sort of an archive of the company’s whole mail database is created. Even if something goes wrong with the corporate mail server, restoring which is always unpleasant and costly both resource and time-wise, the data intercepted by MailSniffer will be sort of a backup of the company’s whole mail database.
