Security Experts List Email Filtering in 7 Security Tips

In an article titled “Seven surefire strategies to block network attacks”, Canadian security experts list email filtering as one of the most important security practices.

There are two benefits to using a provider like Sentinare Messaging Solutions.

1. Blocking spam and viruses: This is the most obvious benefit. Your users immediately will notice the difference in their mailbox when they start getting only the legitimate email they want.
2. Protecting your mail server from attack: This is not as tangible a benefit (unless your email server is hacked). With an off-site filtering service like Sentinare, you can block off public access to your mail server and allow SMTP traffic only from Sentinare’s email servers. This greatly increases the security of your email server and your LAN.

Too many organizations underestimate the amount of work it takes to monitor and protect their email network. Using a spam filtering service will give you not only peace of mind, but it will increase the uptime and availability of your email server.
