How Important is E-mail Security?
It’s estimated that more than 90% of email is spam. That means almost all of your email server’s workload is devoted to handling messages you have little interest in receiving. Even when spam is directed to a junk mail folder, it still takes up storage and wastes processor power.
But as bad as spam is, junk emails are relatively gentle compared to the damage that can be caused by a computer virus lurking in someone’s inbox. Attacks that arrive via email can prove very expensive to your company in terms of lost productivity, interrupted services, and damaged systems. And these aren’t the only ways. Additionally, spam that contains offensive material can lead to employee complaints and might even result in legal action against you. The best way to neutralize these threats is to keep them from ever reaching your email server. And that’s exactly what ConnectU Email Protection Service does.
Protection Begins at the Internet
ConnectU's comprehensive Email Security Service protects your email system from spam, viruses, and other email-borne attacks — before they reach your network. Unlike solutions that provide security at the network gateway or on the desktop, ConnectU extends protection beyond the server to the Internet. By comparison to most other email security solutions, you have an extra layer of protection and extended capabilities to secure both your SMTP connection and message content.
ConnectU E-Mail Protection Offers:
User Settings Administration – Each user will be able to log in when necessary and configure or edit whitelists
and blacklists. Users will also be able to search through the spam archive up to
14 days past.
Message Continuity
This optional add-on protects your message traffic in the event your email server goes down. If your email server were to go down, instead of incoming emails being bounced back to the sender, they would be saved for up to
60 days. Once your email server is back up, the messages are delivered safely to your inboxes.
ConnectU Enables You To:

Combat phishing |
|
|
Quarantine email-based viruses |
|
|
Halt denial of service attacks |

Message
Archiving
For many
businesses – particularly public companies and
those in healthcare, financial services, law and
insurance – monitoring, storing and retrieving
email messages is now as important as keeping
their financial records in order.
Regulatory
requirements, court requests for e-discovery,
and industry standards are having a profound
effect on how businesses manage electronic
communications. Failing to adequately store and
retrieve emails may expose these businesses and
their officers to penalties, fines, and legal
consequences such as destruction of evidence
charges and adverse judgments.
-
SEC 17a-3 and
17a-4 – Brokers/Dealers must retain

and storage solution in place can adequately
produce a paper trail in the event of a lawsuit.
After
filtration by ConnectU to remove spam, viruses
and other email threats, all valid emails are
sent to the business. A copy of all inbound,
outbound and internal email messages are then
delivered to the Message Archiving system.
