Protecting your business from online threats

Your employees are exchanging information over email, the Web, and instant messaging (IM) nearly every minute of every business day. These essential communication channels expose your businesses to a threat landscape that is converging and constantly changing. They also provide routes for sensitive data or inappropriate images to leave or enter your network.

How can you protect your business without getting in the way of doing business?

Relying on traditional point solutions for protection can leave holes that can be exploited by new converged attacks spanning email, Web and IM channels. Also, applying usage controls to one channel such as email without doing the same for others such as IM weakens internal policies and may even expose you to a breach of compliance regulations.

MessageLabs services offer a holistic approach to messaging security, with integrated protection for email, Web, and IM that works together to create a safe environment:

• Blocking threats across email, Web and IM, in the cloud, before they ever enter your network
• Applying shared threat intelligence to protect against new and converging threats
• Prevent IT misuse and enforce acceptable use policies
