I would like to get feedback on the quality/usefulness of email content monitoring tools available on the market. Our problem: We need to identify users and monitor email content (scary) as some staff are sending "gossip" to the press about our public internet system reliability, pending IPO gossip / info etc. which then escalates to professional bodies / governments whom in turn start formal investigations - all over an email!!! (we are a financial company). Our mail systems are predominately MS Exchange 2000. We are reviewing some software solutions at the moment to increase our logging of what email is going out/content etc. The volume of email is stagering and should the "bad" users be technically savvy, there seems to be no real way of catching said users who breach our security policy. Additionaly, how well do these systems work by catching key words? I recently heard of a new technology that seems smarter than just key word searches but havent been able to track it down to-date. If anybody could recommend any solutions/feedback on this issue it would be very helpful to us. Many thanks Laurence __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
