How to Ease Spam Threats
eWeek – Apr 10, 2008
In general, these appliances are easy to set up and maintain and can be integrated into an existing network and e-mail infrastructure. Finally, a growing number of small businesses are opting to outsource their spam protection. A managed security and e-mail hosting services provider can not only reduce a small business’ exposure to spam but it can do so without the overhead and maintenance associated with other antispam approaches. The most effective antispam service providers offer around-the-clock protection and support, backed by cutting edge, dynamic technologies and antispam measures that evolve as attacks change. As spam trends throughout 2007 have shown, spam is not likely to decrease in quantity or frequency and spammers are likely to continue to devise new tactics, strategies and tools for evading antispam filters. Nevertheless, small businesses can significantly reduce their vulnerability-and, in turn, protect their bandwidth, resources, productivity and information-by educating employees about how to recognize and avoid spam.

Non-security companies are snapping up small security companies (EMC, Citrix, etc. ) The stuff is coming together, and security is the central focus of it all.Related: Trend Micro Integrates Protection Against Web Threats Into Cisco… [...]
