Security Management White Papers

The Total Cost of Ownership for Mail Server Security

Tags:
security management

Overview Today, anywhere from 87% to 95% of all email is spam and approximately one out of every 160 emails contains a virus. That means that an organization with an average email volume of 100,000 messages per day, can expect to receive up to 95,000 spam messages and 625 virus-laden messages every day. As a result, robust anti-spam, antivirus and other malware defenses are absolutely critical to the health of any organization's email infrastructure. These defenses must be continually updated, they must be easy to use and - given that they are a necessary component of any organization's defense system - they should cost as little as possible to deploy and manage.
