On average, spam costs companies $712.00 annually per employee and predictably the amount of spam is expected to increase approximately 63% this year. This cost is associated directly with lost productivity time as employees sort through endless amounts of unsolicited e-mail.

If you add the effect of multiple and restrictive government regulations (HIPPA, SOX, and others) applicable to many industries, e-mail has quickly moved from a business tool to a company’s major headache. It is time to take back control of one of your most powerful business tools; it is time for High Touch Managed Anti-Spam and Compliance Scanning.  It's time to gain from technology, not suffer from it's side-effects.

Think you know spam?          

Anti-Spam Protection
Our Spam filtering solution goes well beyond the typical scoring system for identifying spam. With the High Touch Managed Anti-Spam and Compliance Scanning in place the sender is identified, the content is analyzed, and a collaborative analysis is done on every email message. This multi-layered approach to email scanning will cut down on false positives, and give you renewed confidence in your email system with a 98% catch rate.

Anti-Phishing Protection
Phishing is similar to Spam, but rather than sell you something it attempts to steal account information or your identity through email messages that seem to be from a credible source. Phishing attacks target consumers and businesses alike, and in 2004 caused more than $44 billion in damages. The High Touch Managed Anti-Spam and Compliance Scanning solution scans the headers (the to and from address lines), the content (body), and contact points (verifying the URL's in the message are legitimate).

Anti-Virus Protection
With High Touch's Managed Anti-Spam and Compliance Scanning your inbound and outbound email messages will be scanned in real time to detect and stop virus threats.

End User Spam Management
This feature allows the end user to manage their spam while still allowing IT to have complete control. Employees will receive a summary email of the quarantined Spam in their inbox, and be able to access and unjunk message types permitted by IT. Employees will also have the ability to add senders to their personal allowed list for future emails. The junk box is kept off of the e-mail server and resides on the Anti-Spam device to minimize risk and server workload.

Attack Prevention / Traffic Management
Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA) and Denial of Service (DoS) can bring an email infrastructure to a complete halt. Our solution manages traffic from the message level as well as the connection level. This protects you from non-legitimate server connection attempts as well as mass mailings to multiple legitimate and non-legitimate email addresses. This prevents server overload as well as corporate data being sent out via email bounces.
