Email Defense Requirements: For Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Tags:
security management

Overview Email threats?spam, worms and viruses, and coordinated email attacks?can be particularly harmful to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Industry data shows that SMBs receive a disproportionate amount of spam, with each SMB user logging more junk email than employees in larger enterprises. Therefore, SMBs have even more exposure to email vulnerabilities. However, many SMBs simply do not have the dedicated internal IT resources necessary to manage, update and maintain email threat protection on a full-time basis. In fact, SMBs spend much less of their annual revenues on IT ? 3%-7% versus the 8%-15% of revenue spending by large enterprises.
