Statistics show spam and virus activity growing at ever-increasing
rates. Nucleus Research Group estimates that
spam, or unwanted commercial e-mail, costs organizations
approximately 1.4% of their employee’s time. The IAC
SecureTech E-Mail Firewall Managed Service approach
assists our clients in securing their enterprises, reducing the
cost of spam management, and mitigating the interruption
of services caused by virus attacks.
Why a Managed E-mail Firewall?
The sophistication of approaches employed by spammers
and virus writers is growing. A control technique that worked
three months ago may be invalid for future attacks. The only
way to maintain the integrity of your systems is day-to-day
updates with monitoring by security experts. Our E-mail
Firewall managed service includes all proprietary software,
hardware, and management. We don’t charge for upgrades,
service packs, licensing or any of the other hidden dings and
charges that come with most point solutions.

E-Mail Firewall Benefits
Captures emails and examines e-mails natively
before they are allowed to pass on to the mail server.
IAC SecureTech’s three protective layers:
- 1. Proactive Layer (spam and Virus)
- 2. Statistical Layer (spam)
- 3. Virus Layer (Virus)
Customizable Blacklisting/Whitelisting Services:
IAC SecureTech provides custom configuration of blacklisted
addresses, those blacklisted are automatically
blocked, while whitelisted sources are allowed to pass
regardless of content.
IAC SecureTech absorbs administrative costs in
maintaining an in-house e-mail filtering solution.
IAC SecureTech’s layered e-mail firewall stops most spam
before it enters the corporate network. It is impossible to
stop all spam, but the use of sophisticated tools saves
corporations thousands of dollars per month in employee
time. Our team is constantly updating our spam filtering
approach avoiding the falloff in filtering experienced using
a static approach (see graphs below). Our clients are more
secure than ever, with up-times that exceed expectations.

IAC SecureTech’s Managed E-Mail Service outperforms the competition
because it is a managed service that becomes more attuned to the
needs of your business as time progresses:
SPAM DETECTION RATES
The effectiveness of any spam detection tends to decline over time,
while our rates actually show subtle improvement.
FALSE POSITIVES
While the number of false positives tend to stay constant with most services,
our rates show a dramatic decline over time.
