Modus™ Secure Email Management: An Overview

The growing quantity and sophistication of today's spam, viruses and other malware present many challenges for email communications. While inundations of spam cripple unprotected networks and drain valuable IT resources, other email-borne menaces pose important financial and security risks for organizations and end users.

"Clearly, the need has never been greater for robust email
technology that addresses every aspect of security."

Identity theft-commonly known as phishing-and fraud are fast becoming serious threats. More and more
scammers are impersonating reputable organizations or spoofing IP addresses, making victims of those
targeted by these underhanded and illegal practices. Additionally, address harvesting and denial of service (DoS) attacks are on the rise and causing increased network instability.Consequently, as spam and malware become more sophisticated, so must the technology designed to combat it.

But the issue of security is not limited to inbound spam and other incoming email. Organizations in particular must also monitor and control the outgoing flow of email to prevent hostile work environments, information leaks and the illegal distribution of trade secrets and privacy-protected
information. Additionally, email caching and failover set-ups are crucial for ensuring the robustness and full functionality of email networks.
