Message Classification Key Features

Metadata Generator

Visual labels are excellent tools for promoting proper information handling among users. However, much of the value in classification lies in machine-readable metadata. Message Classification generates classification metadata in MAPI properties and X-headers. These are standard metadata properties that can be read by other infrastructure solutions, including:

• Perimeter security solutions that scan for metadata and can block messages of a certain classification, or encrypt the message before it leaves the organization.
• Data loss prevention solutions that can use classification metadata to determine what type of information is in the email and how to protect it.
• Archiving solutions that can make storage and retention decisions based on the email's classification metadata.
