SECURITY FOR
MAIL SERVERS
THE NEED FOR SECURE AND SPAM FREE MAILBOXES
Email has become an indispensible service that businesses need to protect – at
whatever the cost. When the Email server stops working, so does your workforce. The
impact of lost productivity combined with a severe virus outbreak propagated by email
can practically bring a company to its knees. While many organizations consider the
internal impact of email-borne viruses, an even greater concern is loss of reputation and
damage caused by an employee accidently sending out an infected email to partners
or customers. More than anything else, damage to a company’s reputation can be
irreversible.
A company’s email system provides one of the main entry and exit points within the
network for malicious code propagation and data leakage. Therefore, email security
solutions should be able to counter the many different threats that leverage a
company’s email system in order to propagate - these include;
●
Sending or receiving malicious code through email attachments
●
Unsolicited communication in the form of Spam
●
Phishing attempts to acquire confi dential information
●
Legitimate users leaking confi dential information by email
●
Dictionary Harvesting Attacks (DHA)
Because of the mechanisms used to propagate email threats are becoming more
virulent, stopping them at the desktop may be too late. Therefore, a solution deployed
at the edge of the network and on the mail server itself can minimize the impact
of malware by cleaning infected documents and ensuring the protection of your
organization’s most critical business asset - a communicating workforce.
