Hot topic! Security in the Cloud vs. in the house

In 1978 the first spam* e-mail was sent to about 400 people on the Arpanet. Today junk correspondence in the form of unwanted commercial solicitations constitutes more than two thirds of all e-mail transmitted over the Internet, accounting for billions of messages every day. These not only burden the system itself but also absorb a lot of time and resources that could be more efficiently spent. Lately the phenomena phishing, i.e. emails made to look like they are from people or institutions you trust but with the intention to get access to sensitive information such as credit card numbers etc.

Businesses and individuals normally have a basic security level as standard in their IT-environment. The potential problem is to always keep it up to date and to have sufficient protection against threats since the source of the threats continuously improves and changes as part of their strategy to get through the current security solutions. By letting an expert in the security area take responsibility over and manage the e-mail security, capital expenditure will be reduced and the time and effort previously spent on this can be allocated to daily business instead.
