DYS Analytics Unveils CONTROL! Guardian, a Pioneering Email and IM Compliance Software

Wellesley, Mass. - DYS Analytics, Inc., a leading provider of innovative messaging management solutions, has unveiled CONTROL! Guardian, a groundbreaking email and instant messaging (IM) compliance software designed to empower IT administrators with unprecedented control over email and IM usage within their organizations. CONTROL! Guardian is set to revolutionize the way companies manage their messaging infrastructure, ensuring compliance with corporate policies, regulations, and laws.

With the increasing need to control and monitor email and IM usage, DYS Analytics has developed CONTROL! Guardian to address the critical gaps in existing solutions. This cutting-edge software provides IT administrators with the ability to automate and enforce email and IM compliance, security, data protection, and enterprise reputation management by stopping non-compliant message traffic before it is sent. CONTROL! Guardian also helps recover capacity lost due to excessive and inappropriate email and IM traffic, while improving end-user productivity by eliminating unnecessary messages.

Key Takeaways:

• CONTROL! Guardian provides IT administrators with unprecedented control over email and IM usage, allowing them to automate and enforce corporate policies, security, data protection, and enterprise reputation management.
• The software employs real-time content inspection, ranking, and workflow to classify emails on personal, confidential, and inappropriate dimensions, ensuring that only compliant messages are sent.
• Guardian's fine-grained quotas enable daily/weekly/monthly sending limits, while automated warnings help users modify their behavior before policy limits deny service.
• The product safeguards intellectual property and corporate reputation by preventing confidential information, customer records, or other privileged information from leaking out.
• CONTROL! Guardian extends compliance as required by policy and law, providing audit trails and the ability to demonstrate compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPPA.
• Guardian offers rich management reporting and analysis features, enabling IT staffs to implement best practices and control email and IM use at the level of a mission-critical business application.

Statistics:

• According to a DYS study for a major global enterprise, emails with medium size attachments (between 500KB and 5MB) pose a far more significant impact than large emails (over 10MB in size), which are typically sent to only a few recipients.
• DYS Analytics provides innovative products and services to manage top messaging platforms, with customers including JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Bank One, ABN AMRO Bank, Zurich Financial Services, IBM, and GlaxoSmithKline.
