Hosted Junk Message Filtering Means no Concerns
Hosted guard against unwanted mail and/or email lets you focus on what is essential.
With rising volume of spam e-mails that drain a substantial amount of companies financial resources and eat bandwidth, outsourced hosted server could give them freedom from this headache and increase their productivity.
You need the Internet for your daily activities both privately and professionally, but when a major part of it contains unwanted e-mails and malware, is suddenly is a factor that creates stress and frustration for the entire organisation from IT administrators to end users.
Web spreads out widely and is now available for everybody in all age groups, which has a huge impact on the amount of spam mails and following that, an increased cost using time and resources to clear junk and ilegitimate mail from the mail boxes. Uderestimating the cost of removing junk e-mails is very common – people tend to believe that removing a spam e-mail just takes a couple of seconds. However, suddenly unwanted e-mails appear in huge numbers on a daily basis consuming valuable time and user’s concentration.
Spam e-mails are not only annoying in nature, but they also have significant impact on the operation cycle of a company since they drain network resources and use bandwidth. All ilegitimate mails submitted consumes bandwidth and often spam mails account for as much as 50% of the entire network consumption.
Companies ranging from big names that have dedicated department of IT security to small enterprises, which spend a very small proportion of their annual budget on web security, are plagued by unproductive bandwidth. Furthermore, governments at all levels – local and regional – have tried to implement legislation aimed at spammers, unfortunately this has not helped fight spam sufficiently as spammers are able to continue their criminal activities using the latest and most advanced technologies.
Spam e-mailers have formed their own underground community equipped with networks of hosted computers and innovative attack methods. Analysis shows that spam drain both time and financial resources and organisations face security issues because they expose their internal network to e.g. malware, spyware and trojahns.
These severe security issues calls for effective outsourced spam message solutions for email servers in order to be able to prevent the security threat and reduce operation costs. Oursourcing all mail services can especialy help companies to remove the online threats caused by spam.
A strong argument for using outsourced hosted services for mail is the amount of time companies save becayse the no longer have to worry about handling hardware, software, integration and maintenance of the spam filter. Trained and experienced personnel keep and eye on their systems 24/7 and ensure removal of all spam before it is passed to the company’s internal network and the end users.
The responsibility removing all spam before it reaches the end users is now placed at the outsourced hosted mail server, and understanding the entire process is now much easier for less technical users.
