Overview:
Hosted messaging security services are becoming an attractive platform because they stop threats before they reach the network and ongoing upgrades and tuning are conducted by the vendor, providing up-to-date protection against the latest known and unknown threats. Hosted email security is also more cost-effective for SMBs due to the additional support provided by the vendor. Having an experienced security vendor provide the support saves on IT resources as well as reduces the risk of costly security breaches. Overall a hosted email security solution offers higher cost savings over other SMB email security approaches.

This white paper provides small business owners, midsize company executives, and functional IT staff with a deeper look at how hosted messaging security can help address and manage a dynamically changing threat environment. It also offers a realistic view of the business benefits associated with implementing hosted messaging security. This document presents perspectives on the evolving demands for messaging security solutions (including whether to continue maintaining an on-premise solution), how even small declines in end-user productivity can have significant cost implications, and how to address current and emerging regulatory requirements.
