AMAZING BENEFITS OF USING A HOSTED ANTI-SPAM SOLUTION

Anti-spam is also essential for protecting your network against the latest security threats. There are many layers of protection that you can implement to protect your business data, one of which is anti-spam protection. With the increased availability of cloud solutions, advanced technologies such as enterprise grade anti-spam protection are now within reach for organizations of all sizes. Plus, the solutions are relatively easy to implement at an affordable cost.

 The term ‘spam’ is used to refer to mass amounts of unsolicited emails being sent in bulk to a group of recipients. When spam is unsolicited it means the recipient did not grant permission for the message to be sent. Spam that is sent in bulk can apply to a large variety of recipients as opposed to being targeted toward one recipient, or a few.

Anti-spam protection refers to advanced technologies designed to block and control unsolicited email messages. To provide cutting edge protection, providers of anti-spam solutions are required to apply a series of different methods that integrate with your existing email system.

 Below are some amazing benefits of using a hosted anti spam solution

1. Flexible Pricing: Many businesses are opting to migrate anti-spam protection to the cloud because of price flexibility and affordability. Cloud-based anti-spam solutions typically cost less and are offered on a subscription basis.  You only pay for what you use plus, you have access to enterprise level technologies at a fraction of the cost to implement anti-spam protection on the premises.
2. Comprehensive Email Security Suite: Most of the hosted anti-spam providers offer a bundle of features that provide protection against spam in a comprehensive email security suite.  The features typically include antivirus and anti-malware protection, outgoing email filtering and encryption, instant messaging protection, layered spam filtering, and more.
3. Stop spam BEFORE it reaches your network: With a cloud-based Anti-spam solution, any incoming e-mail is rerouted through the vendor's data center and filtered for spam, phishing attacks, malware and viruses before it is delivered to your network. This greatly reduces the amount of spam you receive and mitigates the chances of you being a victim of a cyber attack via email.
4. Automatic Updates: Instead of having to pay a license fee for the latest upgrades, you automatically receive the upgrades as part of your monthly subscription.  This includes real-time updates of the latest threats in addition to new application upgrades.
5. Reduced Bandwidth: With a hosted anti-spam solution, you will not use as much bandwidth as you would when running an in-house anti-spam solution behind your firewall. By choosing a hosted solution, you free up bandwidth on your servers that is used to send and receive messages and utilize server processes to examine each message. Additionally, more than 90 percent of email traffic is considered spam which will help you reduce resource costs by migrating to the cloud.
6. Fast Response to Threats: Most high-quality service providers offer a fast response to threats including ones that are newly released. In addition to using a series of advanced filters and cutting edge technologies, hosted anti-spam providers have access to large client networks that enable them to stay on top of the latest spam threats.
