Symantec MessageLabs Email Content Control.cloud service identifies and controls confidential, malicious or inappropriate email content sent or received by your organization.

Configurable to your needs, Email Content Control.cloud helps to reduce the risk of data loss and enables you to establish and enforce an acceptable use policy so that employee email use can be more productive.

Easy to setup and maintain, the service harnesses a range of technologies to enable the email body, subject and header to be analyzed, as well as text within supported Microsoft Office and PDF attachments. Email messages and attachments can be scanned for keywords, phrases, URL lists or alphanumeric formulas (such as credit card numbers), all at the administrator’s discretion. Email that triggers a rule is subjected to a range of actions including block, delete or redirect. Meanwhile, approved email messages continue to pass through to their intended recipients as usual.

Our email content filter service can be effectively combined with Email Image Control.cloud service as well as our Email AntiVirus & AntiSpam services to provide an enhanced level of email security.
