The Advantages of a Hosted Security Model

Tags:
network security

Overview Security is an absolutely critical component for any organization's email or Web infrastructure. The growing volumes of spam, viruses, worms, Trojans, blended threats and other issues, coupled with more sophisticated attacks from spammers and others, necessitates that organizations have robust and adaptable defenses to protect their networks, users and data from a wide range of vulnerabilities. For example, spam represents about 90% of all email, and viruses are found in roughly one in 100 emails. This white paper investigates how organizations today are responding to the new amount and the new types of email threats.
