How Important is E-Mail Security?

It’s estimated that more than 90% of email is spam. That means almost all of your email server’s workload is devoted to handling messages you have little interest in receiving. Even when spam is directed to a junk mail folder, it still takes up storage and wastes processor power.

But as bad as spam is, junk emails are relatively gentle compared to the damage that can be caused by a computer virus lurking in someone’s inbox. Attacks that arrive via email can prove very expensive to your company in terms of lost productivity, interrupted services, and damaged systems. And these aren’t the only ways. Additionally, spam that contains offensive material can lead to employee complaints and might even result in legal action against you. The best way to neutralize these threats is to keep them from ever reaching your email server. And that’s exactly what Ferrum Email Protection Service does.

Protection Begins at the Internet

Ferrum's comprehensive Email Security Service protects your email system from spam, viruses, and other email-borne attacks — before they reach your network. Unlike solutions that provide security at the network gateway or on the desktop, Ferrum extends protection beyond the server to the Internet. By comparison to most other email security solutions, you have an extra layer of protection and extended capabilities to secure both your SMTP connection and message content.

Ferrum E-Mail Protection Offers:

User Settings Administration – Each user will be able to log in when necessary and configure or edit whitelists and blacklists. Users will also be able to search through the spam archive up to 14 days past.

Disaster Recovery Spooling

This optional add-on protects your message traffic in the event your email server goes down. If your email server were to go down, instead of incoming emails being bounced back to the sender, they would be saved for up to 7 days. Once your email server is back up, the messages are delivered safely to your inboxes.

Ferrum Enables You To:

  • Combat phishing

  • Quarantine email-based services

  • Halt denial of service attacks

  • Prevent directory harvest attacks

Testimonial
“One word comes to mind when describing Ferrum’s team – excellent! I’ve never worked with a more professional IT firm and look forward to a long lasting partnership – they truly are a part of my organization. I don’t know much about IT, but I don’t have to – my very own IT department is a phone call away.”
