Multi-Tiered Approach to Email Security
Taking a holistic, multi-tiered approach to email security is important. Learn how you can protect your business from email threats and spam.

Securing the email environment is an important aspect of a business' IT operations. In fact, a 2005 survey conducted by IDC found that 90% of small and medium-sized businesses rely on email. Email plays a critical role in these business environments – if email goes down, their business stops. Without a multi-tiered approach to email security, problems such as spam, viruses, or inappropriate usage can cause real trouble. Unfortunately, many small and medium sized businesses don't have the luxury of a large IT department or IT group, leaving limited resources and time to deal with IT security issues.

According to Symantec's most recent Internet Security Threat Report, 50% of monitored email between July and December 2005 consisted of spam. The report also found that the small business sector was the third most targeted segment during that same time period. This is likely due to the fact that small businesses often lack an adequately secure IT infrastructure and therefore are more vulnerable to attacks. By taking a holistic approach to email security and implementing procedures and measures on all levels of your infrastructure, you can help protect your business from a variety of email threats.
