Spam Protection You Can Trust
MxToolbox TX
Spammers know that people are expecting mail from places like Sears and JC Penny and the spammer will use people?s trust to get to them using false addresses. This is called spoofing and can cause you all sorts of headaches. The spam protection you get with MxToolBox will stop this spam from reaching your computer so that you only get legitimate email from these companies. They have the use of a variety of anti-spam technologies that is able to recognize a message from a legitimate company and one that is from a spam site. However one of the loopholes spammers can use is created when a personal whitelist is used by the computer user. Many email programs will allow the user to whitelist an email address or a domain name which allows all the email that has been whitelisted to get straight through to the computer. This can open the door to the Whitelist Exploit.

Indeed McAfee’s Mobile Security Report 2008 identified that some 72pc of mobile users were concerned about the security of mobile services. Decipher Inc has also investigated this area and recently published the results of an interesting survey where 70pc of respondents said they access what they consider to be ‘sensitive data’ on their smart phone in order to work outside the office. Some 85pc of respondents also said that enterprises should deploy protection on any mobile device accessing data or systems. This survey showed just how much company-sensitive data is accessible via company mobile devices. Although it’s encouraging to see businesses arm their employees with the tools to make the best use of their time away from the office they also need to be careful that in doing so they also fulfil their duty of care to protect their employees along with their internal and customer data. So what is the answer? Many people assume that the PC security model of software downloads and firewalls provides the best solution. However handset-based solutions are limited as they only protect a very small percentage of mobile users.
