Network Security White Papers

Straight Talking - Tighten Content Security

Tags:
network security

Overview Spam has been with the author, in name at least, for some 15 years. According to the watchdog Spamhaus, 90 per cent of all email now sent is spam. Fortunately that does not mean 90 per cent of the inboxes are filled with the stuff. The problem has been contained through the widespread deployment of anti-spam products and services in the highly competitive market of the past decade. Before spam became a big problem, there were still specialist email security vendors like Clearswift and Marshal Software that checked outgoing email to ensure it complied with internal rules on content distribution and decency.
