Advanced Email Filtering and Protection by MailSPEC
In today's digital landscape, inbound email messages are a primary attack vector for threats such as ransomware, phishing, and viruses. These threats not only jeopardize the security of your users but also put your company's entire network infrastructure at risk. Message Stream by MailSPEC offers a comprehensive, cloud-based message filtering solution that mitigates these risks by providing the highest level of protection through constant updates and advanced filtering technology.
Why Choose Message Stream?
As email-based threats become more sophisticated, relying on basic email security is no longer sufficient. Message Stream provides a multilayered defense system that protects both your users and your internal network infrastructure. By implementing a robust, redundant cloud architecture, Message Stream ensures that every email is thoroughly filtered for threats before it even reaches your servers.
Comprehensive Email Threat Mitigation:
Message Stream not only filters out malicious emails but also provides complete control over the email filtering process, giving administrators and end users the ability to view, release, or remove quarantined messages through a secure web-based management system.
Enhanced Network Protection:
By restricting SMTP access to only the Message Stream servers, your internal servers are better protected from various attacks such as Denial of Service (DoS), Dictionary Attacks, and Brute Force Attacks. This added layer of defense reduces your exposure to external threats and enhances your overall security posture.
