Benefits
Appropriate maintenance of content filters can be a burdensome task, particularly as virus and spam tactics shift. With its critical mass, itgroove Sweeper is able to appropriately maintain and tune the Sweeper technology ensuring that all software is up-to-date and using the latest antivirus patterns and antispam measures. Key benefits of Sweeper include:

  1. e-Mail Security: As a managed service, Sweeper provides up-to-date content security protection. Highly resilient, Sweeper will automatically store and forward your e-mail should your systems go temporarily offline. Moreover, your mail systems will enjoy greater security as Sweeper sits between you and the Internet.

    • Only filtered e-mail is delivered to your systems

    • All current anti-relay capabilities are deployed; this protects you from inadvertently being blacklisted.

  2. Service vs. Software: Sweeper provides full anti-virus, spam, and content functionality for one fee. The service does not require any investment in hardware or software by the client, and there are no hidden fees for maintenance or software upgrades. The reliable per user subscription allows accurate forward planning for costs.

  3. Simplicity: With its intuitive menus and web access, Sweeper turns content security into a non-specialist administration task, requiring significantly less time and expertise than an in-house solution. With tiered access rights, a senior administrator may be given control over policy-setting, while a junior or alternate employee can manage quarantines.

  4. Fulfill Obligations: While the focus today is on spam reduction, increasingly organizations are concerned with enforcement of acceptable use policies for e-mail. Sweeper provides custom warning messages when policy is contravened, as well as a wide array of reports on e-mail use and threat activity.
