Spam and Virus Filtering
Spam Filtering

Through the use of hosted spam filtering and virus scanning, Lighthouse Technologies offers a solution to two of of the largest potential threats to businesses in the 21st century: reduced employee productivity, and lower corporate profitability.

More than just an unappetizing selection from today’s menu of corporate threats, spam, sometimes called unsolicited commercial email, is a multi-billion dollar challenge that is increasingly difficult for small and medium-sized businesses to swallow.

Most companies recognize that anti-spam services can pay for themselves with:

  • Gains in worker productivity
  • Savings on bandwidth
  • Relief on your storage resources, and
  • Reduced threat of assorted legal and security risks.
Spam by the numbers

In addition, as viruses and malicious code attacks are becoming increasingly linked to spam, the importance of effective filtering to protect your network becomes critically essential. Even large corporations are finding it increasingly difficult to protect themselves from the threat of viruses, which are both more prevalent and effective now than ever. Most small and mid-sized businesses simply do not have the resources to devote in time, manpower, and resources to in-house anti-virus solutions.

That’s where Lighthouse Technologies can help.

Our filtering technology offers:

  • Hosting and management of the filtering process, leaving your IT professionals free to do what they do best;
  • Blocking and quarantining of at least 90% of spam outside corporate networks, so it never has a chance to cause damage;
  • Reliable delivery of legitimate business email, with the industry’s lowest false-positive rate (less than 1 email in 250,000);
  • Virus blocking, both inbound and outbound, preventing not only the spread of viruses internally, but the possible legal ramifications and injury to your company and its reputation caused by outgoing mail propagating viruses outside your network;
  • Virus updates every 10 minutes through our relationships with major antivirus vendors;
  • Policy enforcement; and
  • Disaster recovery service, protecting your data and your company from a potentially embarrassing loss.

Lighthouse Technologies’ spam and virus detection and filtering services allow you to keep your company’s focus where it should be – on your products, services and most importantly, your customers.
