Softscan SPAM Filtering - Email security - on your terms

Spam and viruses are a considerable problem for organisations that receive thousands of harmful and unwanted emails everyday. Today, spam accounts for 90-95% of all emails and viruses less than 1%. With external email scanning from SoftScan you can forget all about spam and viruses, and concentrate on tasks that will add value to your business.

SoftScan offers market-leading protection through a number of proven virus scanners in addition to SoftScan's own intelligent scanner which uses advanced analysis of email behaviour to block unwanted emails - enabling it to stop viruses before conventional scanners have adjusted to the new threat.

The SoftScan solution is a managed service protecting both internal and external email traffic. Since the service is external, you do not need to buy expensive servers or spend time installing software. Everything is done for you - you simply route your email traffic through SoftScan. Another advantage of using a hosted solution is that potentially dangerous virus and spam mails are routed to external servers for quarantine, and thus never enter your system.

If you need to backup your external mail correspondence, eg. to meet compliance requirements, it is possible with the Remote E-mail Backup service.

SoftScan's email security service provides you with several benefits:

• Total email security: SoftScan protects both inbound and outbound email traffic.
• Resource saving: No investment for installation or maintenance of hardware and software is required, including the updating of spam and virus software.
• Less bandwidth: SoftScan removes spam and viruses, so only wanted emails are sent to your internal mail server.
• Additional backup: If SoftScan cannot contact your mail server, you are immediately notified and all emails are queued on SoftScan's servers to up to 7 days.
• Easy administration: The web base administration console provides a general overview of an organisation's email traffic and allows you to easily setup of rules, manage emails in quarantine etc.
• Additional network protection: Protect your own servers against internet spammers by setting them to only recognise SoftScan's MX record.
