Messaging service provider marks a decade of simple, clean, easy security solutions for the SMB community.

Spam Soap, a leader in email security, celebrates with its active community, the 10th anniversary of providing simple, clean, easy security solutions for the SMB community. Over the previous decade, Spam Soap has risen from a small startup with an initial focus of adding add a simple spam filter option for managed service clients, to an online powerhouse and trusted friend to the SMB community.

Over the last 10 years, Spam Soap has grown dramatically, from a single product to a comprehensive suite of security options. Developing cutting-edge solutions such as Email Encryption, Continuity, Archiving and more, the company has risen to approximately 20 employees and currently has relationships with some of the strongest and most trusted security companies in the world, such as McAfee.

Steve Bender, original founder, SpamSoap, remembers those first years as an exciting time for the SMB market. "We were looking to have a simple, elegant solution for spam filtering back in 2002, but could not find one at the time. So we decided to build it ourselves," Bender said. "During the early part of the decade, Managed Solution Providers needed a no-nonsense, easy-to-support solution for the SMB community."

Since opening its doors in 2002, Spam Soap has remained strong throughout the many ups and downs within the economic climate. This can be attributed to two things: First, a singular customer service focus, namely helping companies find the simplest solution for their security needs, while making it easy to obtain the support they desire. Second, the company continually looks for ways to optimize and improve its products to keep pace with the ever-changing security threats popping up every day.

"Over the past 10 years, Spam Soap has enjoyed growing with the SMB Community and delivering both first-class products and high-touch customer support. We started with basic Spam filtering and have grown as the needs of the SMB community have grown, and now include a robust offering of Email Security products. A huge differentiator at Spam Soap is our CLEAN TEAM, the folks who pick up the phone and are always there to respond to technical questions," said Leonard Dimiceli, Business Unit Manager, SpamSoap.

"We truly look forward to 10 more years of growing with the community. Over the past year, we have asked, listened, and now are introducing more products that are relevant the SMB Reseller and End User," Dimiceli added. "The threats are more complex, and with that we feel it is no longer just about email security, so we will continue to strive to increase all areas of our clients' security posture."

In addition, to celebrate its 10-year milestone, SpamSoap is holding a special contest to say "thank you" to the channel community that has offered its support for the last 10 years.
