New Zealand-owned cloud email security and hosting company SMX has released SmartRules DLP, designed to safeguard confidential information against unauthorized email distribution.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>SmartRules<\/strong> DLP<\/a> (Data Loss Prevention) is one of a number of new service improvements currently being rolled out by SMX, following research and development support from Callaghan Innovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SMX\u2019s co-founder and chief technology officer, Thom Hooker, says the R&D funding has enabled SMX to accelerate software development in several key areas. He says SmartRules\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0DLP has been given urgent priority, following the recent security breaches experienced by Government organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cSMX is the leading cloud email security solution used by Government organizations with around 60 Government sector customers,\u201d Thom Hooker says. \u201cSmartRules\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0DLP meets the most stringent compliance requirements with easy-to-use rule building and related compliance processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmail makes it very easy for employees to accidentally \u2013 or intentionally \u2013 send sensitive documents to recipients outside the organization,\u201d Hooker says. \u201cBy deploying SMX’s SmartRules\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0DLP, customers can define rules to block and report on employees attempting to send sensitive documents externally. SmartRules\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0DLP can be configured to detect visible data as well as scanning for hidden metadata. The use of hidden metadata tags inside documents makes it harder for users to subvert DLP rules looking for visible text \u2013 that is, by changing the document name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hooker says SMX’s SmartRules\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0DLP can also detect sensitive content embedded in archives \u2013 such as .zip, .rar, .tar, .gz, and so on \u2013 and can be configured to block emails containing archives that cannot be opened \u2013 for example, password protected or unknown document types.<\/p>\n

Another significant new enhancement to the SMX Cloud Email Security Suite, Hooker says, will be beefing up the SMX email hosting platform with enterprise-grade security, reliability and new features. SMX will offer 100 percent availability, as well as enterprise-ready tools such as shared calendars, online data storage similar to Dropbox, global address books and support for ActiveSync to sync contacts, emails and calendars with mobile devices.<\/p>\n
