Email Security, Productivity, and Your Organization
Email is mission-critical for businesses of all sizes. Email productivity, availability, quality,
and compliance are core issues for all companies—businesses simply cannot function efficiently
without reliable email.

The Spam and Unwanted Junk Email Problem; What It's Costing You
In 2008, it's been estimated that over 98% of incoming Email is unwanted in the form
of spam. In addition, spam continues to increase at alarming rates year after year. Why does it
continue to grow? Profit driven hackers and spammers continue to invest in driving the quantity
of spam and developing new techniques to bypass Spam filters. Spam is no longer an
advertising tool. It is used by criminals to hack into secure systems at universities, businesses,
and retail outlets. For example:
- The Dolphin’s Stadium website was hacked before the 2007 Super Bowl. The
website redirected thousands of visitors to phishing and malware sites.
- The Better Business Bureau links sponsored by Google infected users with keyloggers
that recorded and stole banking information.
- Tom’s Hardware - a popular technology Website - infected users over the course
of several days earlier in 2007 with Trojans that stole personal information from
their computer. It goes without saying the damage done in dollar value alone to these
organizations was dramatic - not to mention the negative impact on their brand and
customer perception.

Amazingly, large numbers of end-users, small businesses and organizations have resigned
themselves to simply "put up" with all the spam and other types of unwanted junk email,
accepting the aggravation until a catastrophe occurs. Still others believe a serious breach won’t
happen to them - if email security is thought about at all. While others are simply unaware, or
uncertain where to turn, what to do, or believe email security is just to expensive and to
exhaustive of an ordeal to apply.
