E-mail security challanges
Today, e-mail is the most important method of business communication – and also a growing danger to companies of all sizes. That’s why e-mail security is a central challenge that all companies face.
E-mail communication creates a number of dangers for companies. The biggest threats:
- Ever-growing system strain due to unchecked growth of spam
- Loss of business-related e-mails due to a faulty spam filter (false positives)
- E-mail infrastructure congestion due to waves of spam or targeted denial-of-service attacks (DoS)
- Abuse of the e-mail infrastructure to send spam (for example, via botnets)
- Malware attacks delivered via e-mail, for example viruses, Trojans and phishing
For companies, these often result in financial losses due to the impairment of e-mail communication, rising costs and damage to reputation due to business-critical e-mails getting lost. So safeguarding business-related e-mail delivery around the clock and reliable protection against spam, viruses, phishing and other malware are the main e-mail security challenges every company must face.
Comprehensive e-mail security means:
- A powerful anti-spam solution with a high spam recognition rate and without false positives
- An e-mail firewall for safeguarding legitimate e-mail communication even in periods of peak demand

Reliable protection against viruses and other malware including early detection of new virus outbreaks
