Hosted SPAM Filtering Solutions: 

954Network is now offering SPAM and Anti-Virus solutions for businesses of all sizes. This solution is unique and offers the client a centralized filtering solution without having to purchase expensive and difficult to administer equipment dedicated to this task. Our hosted solution sits at our data centers and works transparently between the sender and your email server. It then scans each email for offensive content, common SPAM signatures and viruses. Once the message has been cleared, it is passed to your email server and delivered to the intended recipient. 

Our new SPAM and Virus filtering technology is a hosted solution, meaning that the technology, equipment and maintenance staff are all employed at our state of the art data centers. This means that the system is guaranteed to be available 99.9% of the time. As an added feature, this solution provides redundancy during outage by spooling messages for up to five days, giving your administrators time to repair the outage or have mail flow redirected to another location temporarily.

Below is a brief list of some of the features that will be included in this new hosted service:

These new services will not only improve the functionality of your infrastructure but will add a layer of security and stability as well as increase productivity by virtually eliminating junk emails from your users in-boxes. By controlling the connecting parties that are allowed to connect to your server, you also reduce the attack surface area of your SMTP server. This also increases the performance of your servers by reducing the amount resources that must be utilized to scan inbound email for threats.

SPAM Filtering - The SPAM Filtering technologies used in our hosted solution are continuously updated with the most recent SPAM signatures and offending IP addresses available on the Internet. We maintain a 99.7% accuracy rate on filtered email which means less false positives as well as less spam. The image to the right represents the amount of SPAM that has been caught or completely rejected over the course of days. As you can see from the image, there is a substantial amount of SPAM being filtered which means less resource consumption of your corporate servers; less time wasted by users sorting out the junk and less possibility of Phishing and other Hoax emails ever being seen by your users.

Our Hosted Spam Filter also allows users to white-list/blacklist email based on sender. Each user receives a report of SPAM that has been quarantined and is able to log into their SPAM portal and release the email. The email is then delivered to the user and the sender is added to the white list for future email communications. 

As well as efficiently filtering SPAM, our hosted solution protects your users from the constant threat of email borne viruses. Each email is scanned on 2 levels, the content level and the attachment level. If a virus is found in the incoming message, it is stripped and the recipient is notified that an email addressed to them was infected with a virus. This significantly reduces the risk of virus outbreak on your corporate network as well as isolated incidents on individual client computers. Viruses are not the only malicious email that our solution defends against. We also filter and remove Phishing emails (Designed to fool users into handing over sensitive information) as well as Spy-ware, Trojans and many other Mal-Ware applications.

This 2 level threat protection is designed to keep your users out of harms way and your companies data safe and secure and as most of us are aware, the threat of identity theft and other cyber crime is growing each day.
