Smoking Guns
“Let’s say you are a registered broker-dealer and you just sent out a communication to more than 20 people outside the company,” says Chris Bradley, vice president of marketing and business development for MessageGate Inc., an e-mail monitoring software provider. “That could be constituted as marketing materials, so you might want to alert the user to insert a disclaimer saying the message doesn’t represent the views of the company but of the individual.” |

SC Magazine Australia reviews MessageGate 4.3 and gives it 4 out of 5 stars.
Installation is quite a process and there is no self-support options offered. With all that said, this tool does offer a vast and comprehensive way to manage email content and compliance. |

Email: The Biggest Issues
Every email management appliance and application includes security protections such as antivirus and antispam tools. But a top concern isn’t just what’s coming in but also how emails are handled by employees, notes Chris Bradley, vice president of marketing and business development at MessageGate (www.messagegate.com). |

MessageGate Wins IT Week's Editor Choice Award
While the editors weaved a bit of the old governance messaging into the review, they gave MessageGate high marks for its ability to drive the need for controls to prevent information loss (intentional and unintentional) as meet governance initiatives such as SOX and HIPPA. In addition to outlining “several reasons” why organizations should use MessageGate’s package with their networks, the product clearly hit a homerun with the editors as they clearly state that the package is an effective product that wins on the basis of security and value. |

SC Magazine Reviews MessageGate 4.3
MessageGate focuses on three areas. The first is employee usage and policy compliance; the second is managing archives and the ability to retrieve data easily; and the final part is managing inbound threats such as viruses, spam and phishing.
This product has an expansive filtering engine comprising more than 200 separate rules that can be customised to fit the needs of the organisation. |

The Daily and Ongoing Problems with Email Will Only Get Worse
The ongoing daily problems with email promise to only get worse. According to email management provider MessageGate, a company with 5,000 email users can anticipate about 900 unauthorized releases of private information and 150 unwanted questionable emails daily. This equals wasted time and compromised security for both businesses and individuals. |

Green Agendas Continue To Influence Content Strategies
A few weeks back, I wrote about the compliance aspects of the paperless office and e-mail archiving handled by MessageGate.

How Will You Conquer E-mail Management?
While the most publicized concerns of e-mail management revolve around regulatory compliance — most familiar are probably SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley), FRCP (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) — the biggest risk factor comes from inside an organization. |

Interesting Companies to Watch
One of the companies that I do am intrigued with is MessageGate. According to the website MessageGate allows you to analyze email usage and patterns, ease accurate retrieve, reduce archiving and storage costs and a whole lot more. Not truly a data leakage prevention vendor like Vontu which got acquired by Symantec a while back. MessageGate can however benefit an organization as far as analyzing and categorizing data that is in your environment. I’ve worked with MessageGate on a few projects in the past and its a company that I keep an eye on to see when they finally hit the spotlight... |

Personal Email Accounts: OK Or Not?
Chris Bradley, vice president of marketing for MessageGate, says the main reason most companies allow personal email accounts has nothing to do with trying to “be nice.” Instead, he says, “most companies simply don’t have the necessary tools in place to restrict, or even manage, personal email. To make matters worse, a recent Osterman Research poll estimates that more than 85% of companies lack any method of managing email or mitigating email-based security risks.” |

ESI Come, ESI Go: Next Steps for E-Discovery
How are companies addressing these challenges? Robert Pease, vice president of marketing for MessageGate, an e-mail-monitoring software vendor, says that companies aren't really sure what they should be doing. They look at the e-discovery rules from a legal perspective, but don't quite know how they should apply to their technology infrastructure. Pease notes that some companies have attempted to respond by limiting e- mail or getting rid of it altogether; others are adopting a wait-and-see attitude. |
