Managed Email Security as a service

Ubiquitous, reliable, and consistent email access for employees offers an invaluable tool to organisations of all types and size. With the benefits come responsibility and increasingly risk and threat. But despite this – based on independent survey information – some businesses think that email is in fact more valuable than the telephone in meeting daily communication needs.

The term ‘threat vector’ defines the path or tools that a cybercriminal can use to attack a specified target. Email has been and will continue to be a primary threat vector.

Basic email hygiene measures such as Anti-Virus and Anti-SPAM will work to provide an effective line of defence but unless specific additional measures have been taken, this takes place inside of your network and as a result has a direct and negative impact on network and therefore user, efficiency.

A managed email security service inserts itself between an existing email infrastructure and potential threats; it ensures that inbound emails once delivered to their intended recipients are free of risk with all the resource that this takes expended in the service providers environment. It also protects customers and suppliers by scanning all outbound email.

Using a simple, if required tailored interface, administrators can manage all email activity to a new standard. Using logs, activity can be tracked offering a forensic ability and the basis for complying with legislation and regulation. A rules engine and a policy manager make it easy to manage the vast majority of emails automatically, allowing limited administration resources to focus on the potentially high-risk exceptions.

Not only does the service interface directly into existing email infrastructures supporting MS Active Directory and other LDAP integration, but it offers employees a web interface which can act as a quick and easy way to keep in touch with business communications. The Web interface can also double up as an emergency Business Continuity service should the in-house email infrastructure be unavailable for any reason.
