Why MX Police?
Spam is more than lunchmeat
Never-ending spam is more than just annoying … it costs you money (YIKES!). Consider the following stats:
- In 2003 the estimated total cost of spam to U.S. businesses due to lost productivity was $10 billion (Ferris Research Report) and by this year (2007) the total cost of spam to US businesses due to lost will reach an estimated $75 billion (Radicati Group).
- The annual loss per employee to a business due to spam is estimated to be $1934 (Nucleus Research).
- 75% of users say they spend more than 10 minutes dealing with spam daily, and 24% say they spend more than 20 minutes dealing with spam daily (Symantec Corporation).
Viruses, Worms and Trojans, Oh My!
Computer viruses, Worms and Trojans are here to stay, and email is the most common way they spread. Did you know:
- In 2003 the estimated total damage caused by viruses to businesses was $55 billion (Trend Micro).
- 99% of organizations surveyed reported having experienced viruses (ICSA Labs) and 90% reported virus infections within the past 12 months (FBI Computer Crime & Security Survey).
- One single worm, the NIMDA, infected more than 86,000 Internet hosts (SANS).
- 90,000 viruses and millions of variants exist to date.
It's always something new.
Security exploits and malformed messages are just two of the newer ways your email system can be damaged.
On their own, email systems are particularly vulnerable to security exploits, which allow outsiders to gain access to confidential company information, “sniff” passwords to enter protected areas of the company network, or even use the company mail server as a base camp to launch attacks on other organizations. Spammers are also becoming more sophisticated, using hard-to-fight tactics to mine corporate mail accounts. Tens of thousands of security exploits to corporate email systems are attempted every day, and a firewall alone will not protect your mail system.
Another type of email threat, malformed messages, deliberately evade scanners and deliver malware (e.g., viruses) into the heart of your network or worse yet, open the door for attacks that can cripple your email system. Many spam-filters and email security products cannot adequately handle malformed messages.
In addition to costing your business time, money and resources, these threats strain IT resources (which are already stretched WAY too thin!), open you up to liability issues (such as i.d. theft ), and can even close your business! In fact, 43% of companies that suffer a catastrophic data loss do not reopen (U of Texas) and 80% of companies that suffer a major information security disaster go out of business within 13 months (BCI). We know you don’t want to be a member of that club!
