Hosted Email Security Moves Beyond Spam Blocking
November 15, 2011
By Brian Albright, Business Solutions magazine.
Web-based email threats, including spam, phishing, and social engineering attacks, have become more complex and harder to block. Because email is a business-critical application, companies need robust, easily adaptable solutions to help keep their email servers and applications protected and running 24/7.
Hosted email security solutions provide an opportunity for companies to offload this critical function, while simultaneously offering VARs and MSPs (managed services providers) new avenues for developing products and services that can benefit customers while generating new revenue streams. "Adoption of hosted email security has increased rapidly over the past two to three years, and the value proposition continues to grow beyond blocking spam and viruses through email spooling, directory harvest protection, and recapturing bandwidth previously consumed by these email-borne malware threats," says Scott Barlow, VP of sales at Reflexion Networks.
