The growing volumes of spam, viruses, worms, Trojans, blended threats and other issues, coupled with more sophisticated attacks from spammers and others, necessitates that organizations have robust and adaptable defenses to protect their networks, users and data from a wide range of vulnerabilities. Because email use is growing at about 20% annually, volumes of spam, viruses and other malware are also increasing over time, requiring organizations to build their messaging security infrastructure in response to this growth.

This white paper investigates how organizations today are responding to the new amount and the new types of email threats. It discusses how a hosted security is now a viable solution for organizations of all sizes and is increasingly deployed to ensure better security and reduced costs.
