MessageLabs AntiVirus Email Protection

Every day, organizations face potential communication, operational and intellectual property disruption from malicious software (‘malware’) and other email-borne threats, such as phishing.

The sophistication of email threats has evolved, going beyond just viruses and spam with virus, spam and spyware writers now sharing methods. As a result, different types of attack have started to merge and pose greater threats to your organization, leading to a significant increase in email-related costs.

Some attacks are so targeted that they never even appear on the antivirus industry radar and are not properly identified or stopped by reactive signature-based antivirus scanners.

The MessageLabs Email AntiVirus Service represents a significant step forward in the ongoing battle against unwanted virus writers, because it can deal with known and unknown threats long before they reach your network.
