Superior email antispam solutions deliver performance while minimizing cost

Spam emails are a significant problem for organizations today. From sales pitches to phishing attacks, spam messages account for 90 percent of the 50 billion emails sent every day. Spam represents a real threat to productivity, as employees and IT staff must wade through piles of bad messages to find the good ones. And spam can easily overwhelm messaging systems, degrading system performance.

Email antispam solutions promise relief, but many are not adequate to the task. In-house email antispam systems frequently consume a disproportionate amount of administrative attention and IT resources. They also suffer from delivery performance degradation during peak usage times. For these reasons, companies may seek solutions from managed service email antispam providers. But these services often lack true multi-tenancy, resulting in unacceptable slowdowns in message delivery.

For organizations seeking a highly reliable email antispam solution that doesn't suffer from loss of performance or consume disproportionate resources, Mimecast offers email antispam technology as part of a unified approach to email management.

Mimecast delivers a market-leading email antispam solution.

Mimecast offers a holistic approach to email management with a unified system that includes email antispam features. Mimecast's next-generation antispam technology effectively eliminates spam, as well as viruses and other threats, without causing degradation to system performance or requiring inordinate administrative or IT resources.

The secret lies in the way email messages are tested. Mimecast's email antispam methodology extends the standard security stack with proprietary, real-time countermeasures to deal with known and unknown threats at OSI layers three through seven. Where other antispam solutions wait to test messages until the message has been fully received, Mimecast performs tests "on the wire"-as messages are in the process of being received. By seeking out the earliest possible opportunity to reject a spam email or prioritize a legitimate email for processing, Mimecast avoids placing extra processing demands on the system. Email is tested at every phase of the physical IP and MSTP conversation, using a variety of logic tests, pattern matches, anomaly tests, reputation tests, and heuristic analyses.

With this unique approach to email antispam protection, Mimecast is able to block 98.5 percent of spam, leaving it undeliverable at the source. And Mimecast has a track record of stopping 100 percent of viruses as well.

Mimecast offers antispam technology as part of holistic email management.

While Mimecast's solution offers remarkable email antispam and anti-virus email security, it also provides solutions for a range of other challenges. Organizations can use Mimecast's email archive software to archive emails for up to 10 years. Mimecast also offers an email continuity service, as well as the tools to set and enforce email retention policy and email security policy.
