Why Deploy an E-mail Filtering Solution?

Unsolicited e-mail has become the single largest nuisance for Internet users and service providers. With over 30 billion e-mails being sent daily, some experts estimate that over 40% of all e-mail is defined as Spam ― and as much as 8% of all e-mail is spammed pornography.

Spam costs your organization time and money in tied-up mail servers, strained network resources, and decreased employee productivity. In addition, email-borne malicious code is one of the most common ways for viruses and worms to infect and spread within your network.

Blocking unwanted email through filtering, allows your organization to protect itself against these threats and to take control of the growth and content of email so that it remains a useful and effective communication tool.
