At Smart IT we recommend Symantec's market-leading Message Labs managed internet security services for your email and web. Spam and viruses are a considerable problem for organizations that receive thousands of harmful and unwanted emails everyday. Today, spam accounts for 90-95% of all emails and viruses for less than 1%. With external email scanning you can forget all about spam and viruses, and concentrate on tasks that will add value to your business.

Email Security:

• Total email security: protects both inbound and outbound email traffic.
• Resource saving: No investment for installation or maintenance of hardware and software is required, including the updating of spam and virus software.

• Additional backup: If your mail server is unavailable, you are immediately notified and all emails are queued for up to 7 days.

For internet security:

• Total web security: The service scans both inbound and outbound web traffic, Instant Messaging traffic and rule-based traffic. The entire content of websites are scanned including banners, scripts, Hotmail traffic, etc. and the user receives notification if the content is blocked.
• Resource-saving: With an external, hosted solution, there is no need for a company to invest in the installation or operation of hardware and software, including updating antivirus software.
• Scanning in real-time: All traffic is scanned for malware in real-time, without a noticeable delay to the user. Spyware and viruses are stopped at the Internet level before they can infiltrate your network and damage or infect an organization’s computers.
• Pro-active scanning: The solution uses several leading virus scanners combined with heuristic scanning, which pro-actively captures as yet unknown malware. This means that the company is protected against all types of virus attacks - including those not yet discovered by traditional antivirus scanners. Remember - prevention is better than cure.
• Supports an organization’s Internet policy: You can control web rules for users and groups by URL categories, types of content and time intervals. This also means that as a company, you can comply with your own or industry-regulated requirements for employee behavior on the Internet.
• Easy administration and reporting: The web-based administration module provides real-time reporting of blocked malware and control over web rules
