Spam & Virus Filtering - SaaS

Preventing Spam and Email Viruses Arriving

Service quite simply removes the headache with email communications and ensures it becomes the vital communication asset it was designed to be.

The benefits of the service are delivered without any client side hardware or software, therefore removing the associated costs and risk. As a managed service, the user is assured that systems are monitored 24 hours a day, each day of the year by experienced engineers to ensure that email is being managed correctly.

How it Works

Before the email even reaches your computer it is processed through our filtering servers, where emails with Viruses or Zero-Hour Viruses are deleted and any email determined to be Spam is transferred to the quarantine. Only good emails are then forwarded to your computer via a new POP3 Mailbox. Daily a single report email is sent to each user, identifying any email added to the Spam Quarantine in the previous 24 Hours.

SecureDesk-Mail Flow Chart

SecureDesk-Mail Details

Service comprises four key processes, Virus Scanning, Spam Scanning, Content Scanning and (optional) Image Scanning.

Virus Scanning (100% removal with 0% false positives)

Service core anti-virus solution comprises multiple best of breed identity based engines, which are critical in the detection of viruses. However, as mass outbreak viruses tend to replicate and distribute at such high speed, the time taken by identity based anti-virus vendors to capture, analyse and release tested updates to the anti-virus engines leaves organisations exposed to the threat of virus infection for a period of time. This window has been dubbed the ‘Zero Hour’ syndrome. To meet this challenge, SecureDesk - Mail employs Zero Hour and heuristic filters to seek out new, unknown viruses through additional mail scanning.

Spam Scanning (99% removal with 0.0003% false positives)

With spam levels regularly being measured at between 65 and 90 percent, uses leading edge technology to manage the sheer volume of unwanted email being delivered. Careful attention to connection management and integration of multiple best of breed filters has led to blocking the maximum quantities of spam with the lowest possible rate of false positives.
