How can I stop the deluge of SPAM and Virus from email?

With the growing volume of spam and the increasing maliciousness of email-born threats, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that implement a managed email defense service are benefiting from greater overall email protection and a reduction in costs.

iCT’s SpamCare blocks threats at the network perimeter before they can enter and harm the corporate network, and is more accurate, easier to implement, more cost-effective to maintain, and has a greater return on investment than software and server/gateway appliances. The powerful email security solution meets the needs of SMBs for enterprise-grade service reliability and performance, without enterprise-level complexity and cost.

SpamCare reduces costs through ease of integration and hands off management

A key consideration when reviewing email defense options is cost. With SpamCare, there are no hardware or software costs, no installation or configuration costs, and no out-of-packet maintenance fees. Maybe even more important than the costs, however, are the cost savings that result from using a service versus a software solution or appliance. By operating outside the corporate firewall, SpamCare relieves corporate mail servers of the increasing bandwidth waste and storage costs necessary to handle spam, which is predicted to account for 70 percent of all Internet email by 2007**. By deploying a perimeter-based service, organizations benefit from savings in the following areas:

  1. NO hardware required
  2. NO operating system licenses for hardware platforms required
  3. NO need to manage operating systems (patches, updates)
  4. NO updates to software licenses or subscription to anti-spam server software required
  5. NO support contracts for server software required
  6. NO need to apply server version updates or patches
  7. NO need to apply/change server policies and rules
  8. Significantly reduce storage and bandwidth costs by eliminating the need to store unwanted email inside your network
  9. Improve employee and IT administrator productivity
  10. Secure message delivery via Transport Layer Security (TLS)
