In a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2004, said Bill Gates, the problem with spam e-mails would have done the latest in 2006. Better filtering and advanced security features in email programs and operating systems like Windows would make the flood of unwanted commercial messages to an end. Today, five years later, it is clear that this was one of the biggest misconceptions that met the founder and former head of Microsoft ever. According to the IT security company Symantec rose in October 2009, the proportion of spam e-mails in total proceeds of the electronic mail to more than 87 percent. In the weeks before Christmas, traditionally a highlight of the wave of spam, the proportion reached as many as 95 and 97 percent.

But spam is only one point, which plays in the context of e-mail security role. According to the consensus estimate of all IT security firms is the e-mail is still the most important weapon in the arsenal of cyber-criminals. Meanwhile, contained, according to IT security companies such as Trend Micro, Symantec, McAfee and Kaspersky about two to 4.5 percent of dubious advertising malicious software from viruses to Trojan horses, software for recording the keystrokes of users (key logger) to links that will lead users to malware-infected Web sites.

Another shortcoming of traditional e-mail infrastructure is, according to the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) that give users, especially from the middle class, too often to encrypt important messages. This makes it easier for an attacker, intercepting e-mails with company information.
SME underestimated risks

Unlike large corporations, smaller businesses are often unaware of the dangers that threaten a lack of protection of electronic communications. “They often do not even use a proxy server to filter the traffic from the Internet,” says Oliver Pifferi, project managers and IT security systems house in Kriehn.net from Bottrop. “This is downright negligent.” A midsize company that wants to hedge his e-mail traffic from attack.

There are 3 effective alternatives from which you can choose any one of the below:

• E-mail servers and client computers to manage on their own and take appropriate protective measures.

• Hosting Email accounts under reliable hosting provider. The user can remain hassle free by relying on hardware and software that are provided by Email hosting provider.

• E-mail servers and security solutions are installed at the user. The operation and management of these systems, however, assumes an external service provider managed service keyword.
