AntiSpam Solutions: Postini
FACT: Email Productivity
Problem: Spam and Threats Continue
to Increase
- Spam and viruses cost businesses
$23 billion dollars in 2003 from
lost productivity, interruption
of services and wasted or damaged
resources.
- Spam alone accounts for $10 billion
in lost productivity says Ferris
Research.
- More than 7,000 new viruses, worms
and Trojan horses were identified
in 2003, costing businesses $13
billion according to the Computer
Research Board.
FACT: Desktop Anti-Spam Software
Can Create as Many Problems as it
Solves
- Beyond one or two end users, desktop
solutions quickly become an administrative
nightmare.
- Desktop deployment also puts the
responsibility of controlling spam-filtering
policies in the hands of end-users-not
a popular concept with most businesses.
- By the time spam or viruses have
reached the desktop, the problems
are already deep within the enterprise
network.
SOLUTION: WDSI & Postini
Offers a Better Approach - Preemptive
Email Protection
Postini’s preemptive managed
service prevents email-borne threats
from entering the network before they
can cause havoc or harm. That’s
because Postini sits between the Internet
and its customers’ networks,
identifying and resolving threats
without consuming corporate bandwidth
or resources.
Postini’s unique, pass-through
technology processes email in real-time,
through a highly secure system architecture
that operates with no detectable latency,
no data loss, and no security compromises.
During pass-through processing, legitimate
email is instantly forwarded to each
customer’s destination mail
server from memory. Depending on customer
preference, suspicious email is either
tagged and delivered or quarantined
to a web-accessible storage area for
client review.
Postini's Perimeter Manager™
provides you with the highest level
of email protection, the most flexibility,
and the easiest solution to implement.Its
comprehensive Postini Preemptive Email
Protection Technology (preEMPT™)
filters out spam, viruses, phishing,
protects email systems from a wide
range of attacks, and provides IT
organizations with tools to secure
email connections and regulate email
delivery.
Top
10 Reasons to Implement Postini with
WDSI
- The Best Anti-Spam Filtering
Available - Postini is
proven to be the most accurate spam
filtering with the lowest rate of
false- positives.
- Proactive Perimeter Management
- Postini blocks spam and viruses
and worms before they pass through
your firewall, saving bandwidth,
server capacity, and minimizing
administrative costs.
- Stop DoS & Directory
Harvest Attacks - Typical
email security software may assess
message content or the source IP
address of an email message, but
it can't secure SMTP connections.
Postini stops these attacks before
they reach you and bog down your
network.
- Layered Anti-Virus Protection
- Postini is an excellent choice
for firms looking for additional
levels of protection against malicious
threats, and works great in conjunction
with existing firewalls and anti-virus
software solutions. Postini gets
priority updates from McAfee every
15 seconds!
- Impressive Testimonials
- Postini is used by 52 of the “AM
LAW 100” largest law firms!
Specialized legal and financial
spam filtering heuristics optimize
accuracy for all professional office
environments.
- Ease of Use
- Users receive one message daily
from Postini that clearly summarizes
all blocked spam messages. It is
easy for end users to view and release
messages from quarantine on their
own.
- Zero IT Administration
- Anti-virus and anti-spam runs
at Postini’s data center,
not on your servers and workstations.
- Performance
- Postini eliminates delays typically
experienced with competitor's services.
Email is delivered to you instantly
instead of minutes or hours later
thanks to Postini's superior technology
that results in only 50 milliseconds
of latency for processing.
- Low Cost & No Minimum
Fee - Postini from WDSI
is just $2/month per mailbox for
up to 100-users with a minimum of
just 5-mailboxes, plus a one-time
$500 Power-Up fee (see special offer
below). Postini typically provides
a payback in just two to three months
of operation! E-mail "aliases"
are free.
- Monitor & Anticipate
Problems Before They Occur
- Postini Perimeter Manager provides
real-time viewing and reporting
of inbound and outbound email traffic
offering unmatched visibility for
both WDSI technicians and your System
Administrator that can be customized
to your particular environment.
Real-time, daily, weekly and monthly
reports help you analyze and track
email traffic and trends to improve
overall performance and spot issues
before they evolve into major problems.
But
don't just take our word for it!
“After using the new Postini
Preemptive Mail Protection System
for approximately a week and a half,
I would recommend it to anyone who
asked me for my opinion. It is so
wonderful to open my inbox and find
it filled with actual desired e-mails
as opposed to 125 pieces [of SPAM]
that had even slipped through our
former email guard system. It is also
nice to be able to go into the website
to check the office's quarantined
e-mails and find that they are exactly
what we did not want filling our inboxes,
and to be able to easily get rid of
them. I also like the fact that we
get notices from WDSI regarding only
those e-mail accounts that have actually
received mail that has been quarantined.
This makes it necessary to only check
those particular addresses instead
of all addresses in our office. Even
though there are only 11 users in
our office, checking everyone's [email]
would still take time that could be
used elsewhere in our busy law office.
Postini's notification system makes
that completely unnecessary. Once
again, I would highly recommend changing
to Postini from other email guard
systems. Thanks so much for recommending
Postini!”
“I had to let you and who ever
decided to upgrade our email filter
[to Postini] know - it's great! It's
catching 99% of the junk I was getting
- which was up to or over 100 pieces
daily. Thanks for the continued improvements
to our systems!”
“A quick e-mail to thank you
for telling us about Postini. All
the employees like the fact that they
filter their own suspect SPAM and
as the network administrator who used
to get all the e-mail notifications
of virus warnings for all employees,
it sure has made it easier for me.
The cost saving is unbelievable. I
like the fact that we are only paying
for the boxes we use instead of the
minimum fee we had to pay with our
previous service. Keep those cost
savings coming!”
“I just wanted to let you
know how happy we are with the Postini
Mail Filtering. We have had it in
place for little over a month and
the agents are just thrilled. Many
of them have contacted me to thank
me for this service. I had to admit
to them it was all you and your company's
idea and what a great idea! We just
held our annual business meeting and
when we discussed the improvements
we've added to our network this one
literally made everyone cheer. I know
all of the upgrades and continual
improvements you have implemented
have helped us immensely, but this
one had a big impact on the agents.
Thanks again for all your guidance
in keeping us a leader with our technology.”
