Anti-Spam And Anti-Virus

Anti-spam gateways do a pretty good job managing the ceaseless noise of inbound spam, and for the most part, the total amount of corporate spam is declining.

At the same time, with the rise of advanced threats and malware, more technology needs to be added to the security stack, causing greater expense and complexity.

"This makes it critical for the reseller-channel to make a robust spam and virus protection layer part of its email management offering," Bauer said.

When that protection layer is delivered entirely from the cloud, tapping multiple engines and sources, customers receive the most-robust protection and threats are blocked before even hitting their networks. That's the best way for organizations to combat spam and malware while users carry on with daily activities.
