Securing Your Messaging Environment from External and Internal Threats

Join Product Manager, Jason Grauel and Sr. Product Marketing Specialist, Deaddin Edris to learn how Symantec's 8300 series appliances can help you protect your messaging infrastructure from external and internal threats. Messaging technologies have become the communications life-blood of organizations today and their increased use has left them vulnerable to external attacks like malware, spy-ware and spam and internal threats like data leakage.

Spam and SPIM: A Growing Threat To Messaging Systems

Spam has been a serious problem for email administrators and users alike, growing from one in six emails in 2002 to approximately three out of four emails today. After five years of dealing with spam and throwing significant resources at the problem, 54% of messaging decision-makers in mid-sized and large organizations still view spam as a serious or very serious problem according to a recent Osterman Research survey. In addition to SPAM, SPIM also poses a significant threat to your organization. SPIM allows SPAM to be sent into your network through your employee’s IM accounts.
