Hosted Microsoft Exchange 2007 - a solution for spam free emails

The cliché of a errant click on an e-mail attachment is well covered territory, but like most clichés there’s an element of truth. An e-mail delivered virus taking down corporate computer systems is a reality in the 21st century. Access controls that prevent software installation and web browser security settings can help, but securing e-mail is a trickier proposition.

Securing the weakest link

E-mail by its very nature is one of the weakest links in your corporate IT security. Unsecured mail servers are routinely hijacked by overseas spam artists, creating havoc and leaving the unaware owners liable. Viruses, worms, and Trojans are hidden in mail attachments, causing disruptions and downtime and, in the worst cases, stealing confidential company and customer data. E-mail can also be used in denial of service type attacks, overwhelming servers with unwanted traffic.

Combating spam is made difficult by the ubiquitous nature of e-mail. Traditionally administrators have had to straddle the line between inconveniencing legitimate users and preventing exploitable loopholes for hackers. Hosted Microsoft Exchange puts an end to that stalemate, giving users convenient, easy to use e-mail while stopping 94% of spam in its tracks.

A gated community for corporate e-mail

Hosted Exchange is the equivalent of a gated community for your company e-mail. Onsite administrators update spam filters and definitions regularly. Spam is quarantined and eliminated before it reaches employees. Viruses and other malicious software are scanned and intercepted before they can spread to company computers.

There are a number of other significant benefits that come from a hosted Exchange service. Mail retention and archival is automatic, and with powerful search capabilities to help you find the mail you need. Exchange centralizes your mail, giving your employees access from anywhere using any browser capable device, and built in ActiveSync support for iPhone and Blackberry smart phones keeps everyone happy.

Hassle free spam protection

When it comes to dealing with spam, managed hosted Exchange is as close as it gets to a set it and forget it solution. Superior spam protection increases productivity and helps prevent potentially catastrophic outages from viruses and other malware. Hosted Exchange delivers cost effective, centralized, spam free e-mail for your entire organization.
