Shifting Spam Tactics Makes Switching to Managed Service a Must

Overview The battleground in the fight against spam is shifting. With new tactics from spammers and hackers designed to defeat legacy content-filtering solutions, many organizations find themselves experiencing declining effectiveness of their existing email security solution. As email threats become more sophisticated it is important for companies to consider alternatives to first-generation content filtering technology. This white paper explains how new threats such as directory harvest attacks, cannot be stopped by conventional filtering. And why companies are switching to an email security managed service solution in order to effectively prevent these new threats from harming your email system.
