Enhancing Misdelivery Prevention m-FILTER® MailAdviser Ver.3 x FinalCode®
Available in Late April
～New user-friendly feature include auto-encrypted attached files by FinalCode on outgoing messages～

TOKYO, Japan (April 6, 2016) – Digital Arts Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Toshio Dogu; hereinafter called Digital Arts; Code 2326), a provider of information security software, announced the release of a subscription-based optional feature for its m-FILTER MailAdviser Ver. 3, a client-based email security software for businesses, public sectors and local governments, to auto-encrypt attachments on outgoing emails using FinalCode, the ultimate file encryption and tracking solution. This optional feature will be available at the end of April.

The current update enhances security and user-friendliness in m-FILTER MailAdviser’s feature to prevent messages from being sent to the wrong person. Users no longer need to set passwords on attachments—the new feature has FinalCode automatically encrypt files sent to external recipients, easily realizing both email and file securities for clients who are not able to install a mail gateway as an anti-misdelivery measure.

In the new feature, attachments are automatically encrypted and sent by FinalCode after the sender reviews the message on the popup. FinalCode encrypts files and limits users/groups who can open and browse the file, reducing the risk of unwanted data disclosure by a third party who received a forwarded message (secondary data leakage). With the popup already available in the current version, senders self-inspects message contents, recipients and attachments, raising awareness for wrong transmissions, while the new feature adds a sophisticated measure against intentional and unintentional data disclosure.

How m-FILTER MailAdviser Ver. 3 works with the enhanced Final Code feature

Multiple Permission Setting, a new feature on FinalCode Ver. 5, is also now available on all FinalCode-encrypted files for configuring security policies flexibly by organization structure, employee position and roles. Senders can set multiple permissions (combination of open file and file handling permissions) in one file. This added feature is optional to m-FILTER MailAdviser on subscription-bases available from 1,400 yen (excluding tax) per license.
*1 Maintenance for this option is 15% of base price. Maintenance fee commences on the initial license year and is renewed every year.

A new Recipient Combination Check feature has also been added. This feature learns recipient combinations (To, Cc, Bcc) on outgoing messages and restrict popups to appear for frequently-sent recipients. Popups appear only for outgoing messages with a new combination of recipient preventing users from becoming too accustomed to inspect messages and in turn, improves prevention against incorrect message delivery (patent pending). This feature is also available for Outlook 2016 (32 bit edition).

As the world becomes increasingly global, there is a growing importance of taking necessary precautions against data leakage via email. Digital Arts continues to develop and offer enhanced features in the m-FILTER family in order to stop disclosure of sensitive data from the inside in the home and overseas market by meeting a wide range of client needs that includes prevention of wrong transmission, archive, and anti-spam measures.
