What's on your network?
Most service providers offer their subscribers anti-virus and anti-spam protection on their own email platform. However, the problem of viruses and spam in non-platform SMTP email traffic grows daily.
The causes include botnets/spam Zombie infected subscribers and professional spammers/criminals abusing the service providers network. The impact can be enormous:
- The service provider can be black-listed by other providers and third party email systems.
- Identifying professional spammers and infected users on the network can be both resource intensive and time consuming.
- Valuable network bandwidth is wasted by unwanted spam and virus-infected traffic.
- Call centre costs and subscriber churn rises as subscribers experience service
degradation and problems caused by their botnet-infected PCs.
- The service provider's network can be used to launch denial of service attacks,
phishing attacks and other malicious activities.
