Emeryville, Calif., September 5, 2013--Sendmail today introduced Sentrion Rogue Email Application Control (REAC) 2.0, the first inside-threat protection application with new Big Data search capabilities to further protect organizations against the growing internal threats posed by machine-generated email, which accounts for more than 50% of all corporate email traffic.

Further complicating the problem of discovery is enterprise email itself, by far the largest source of big data in the enterprise today, generating nearly three exabytes of data annually in email and accompanying attachments.
