Overview:

Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus Email Protection

For businesses of all sizes, email is a mission-critical communications tool. As the importance of email is increasing, so are viruses, unsolicited commercial email (UCE), otherwise known as spam, phishing (fraud-related email), malicious software and other threats to company security and productivity. Currently, spam and other email threats account for more than 90% of Internet email traffic. Unfortunately, the total cost of owning and operating a multi-vendor email defense system can be greater than the cost of the email system itself.

The global 24/7 cycle of email attacks requires a new technology that provides dynamic, real-time filtering and stops spam and other email threats before they attack networks, email servers, IT staff and email users. The solution is Concentric Perimeter Email Protection (PEP), a cost-effective network-based software service that filters, authenticates and stops spam and email-based attacks at the perimeter.

Flexibility and Control
