A quick overview of what’s new

The Content Control Early Access Program (EAP) for Sophos Email Advanced makes is easy to quickly build content filtering policies across your organization, preventing outbound email data loss and inbound malware threats:

1. Create multiple policies for groups and individual users
2. Filter inbound and outbound messages for keywords and file types
3. Identifying specific keywords in email subject lines, message content and file names
4. Quarantine, delete or strip attachments from email messages to prevent data leaks and malware threats

Top three reasons why partners should join the EAP

1. Prevent data loss
   Control sensitive information leaving the organization by scanning all emails for keywords and file types. Flexible setup gives you complete control to create individual user and group polices, identifying specific keywords in email subject lines, message content and file names. Blocking sensitive information from leaving the organization.
   
   
2. Stop hidden malware
   Superior malware protection blocks hidden threats that use forged file names to look safe. Phishing attackers often mask the true identity of email attachments to slip malware past traditional email security protection, making malware protection a challenge for organizations. Sophos Email True File Type detection looks beyond simple file name blocking, analysing multiple attributes of a file to identify malicious files masquerading as safe documents.
   
   
3. Reduce the risk from phishing imposters
   Automate phishing imposter defenses with keyword filters to block or quarantine sent emails. Phishing emails impersonating senior executives or trusted suppliers often request employees transfer employee records, payroll information and other sensitive data via email. Reduce the risk of employees sending this information by creating custom keyword filters to block or quarantine email messages and remove attachments before you get phished.
