With businesses always looking for ways to decrease costs, improve efficiencies and availability of IT resources, there has been a rapid adoption of virtualization technologies. Virtualization makes it easy to build and deploy new releases and put changes into production. Over the past decade or more, businesses of all sizes have leveraged virtualization to improve utilization and reduce costs.
This adoption of virtualization raises the question—will security be harder or easier now? According to a report conducted by Applied Research, some 2,100 of the top IT and security managers in 27 countries were surveyed about their opinions regarding this question. The results reflected a definite lack of consensus. The report showed that one-third of the group think virtualization and cloud computing make security “harder,” while one-third said it was “more or less the same,” and the remainder said it was “easier.”
Any optimized small business email solution must have many of the attributes of enterprise-class systems, but at an affordable price and with minimal cost of operations, consistent with the smaller organizations’ lower operating expenses. Further, as companies grow, they require systems that are expandable and extensible, without being required to rip and replace an existing solution.
This white paper defines a number of criteria to be evaluated in choosing the best messaging solution to meet the needs of the smaller organization. We then evaluate three alternatives that could provide a suitable solution.

Corporate email systems are, for all intents and purposes, akin to utilities: They are absolutely essential to the operation of just about any business, they are based on industry standards that allow communication between virtually all competing platforms, even minor disruptions can create major problems for their users, and they represent a significant cost of doing business.
Because labor represents the largest single cost component in managing virtualy any on-premises email system, reducing the time required to manage the system is of paramount importance—especially for small businesses.
Ostertman Research undertook a primary and secondary research program with small to mid-sized organizations to understand how much time these organizations’ IT departments spend on deploying and managing email. In this white paper we compare the costs of two business-class email systems:
- Alt-N MDaemon
- Microsoft Exchange

In a recent survey of email decision makers at large U.S. companies, 34% reported that their business had been affected by the leak of sensitive or embarrassing information in the past year, 33% had been affected by the improper exposure or theft of customer information, and 28% had been affected by the improper exposure or theft of intellectual property.
More than ever before, enterprises are under pressure due to the chilling examples of companies who failed to protect private data and then paid a high price in regulatory fines, disaffected customers, lost business, and damaged brands.

Email is unquestionably the primary form of business communications. Unfortunately it is also one of the most vulnerable channels for security attacks, data leakage, and fraud. To protect against the ever-changing nature of email security threats, email security solutions must be constantly updated and improved. Spammers and criminal syndicates are continually evolving their tactics, and email defense systems must keep pace—or, better yet, keep one step ahead.
This white paper examines recent trends in spam and malware and the resulting requirements for enterprise email security. Then, drawing on customer testimonials and on-site test results, the paper examines the effectiveness of McAfee Email Gateway to protect enterprise customers against spam and email-borne malware. For contrast, the paper compares the McAfee solution to Proofpoint Enterprise, Proofpoint’s email security and compliance platform. It will demonstrate:
- Why the latest trends in spam, malware, phishing and blended threats require new, more sophisticated approaches to email security.
- The current technical and market requirements you should evaluate when considering alternatives to your current email security solution.
- Why your legacy McAfee Email Gateway (formerly known as Ciphertrust Ironmail or Secure Mail) may be making your organization vulnerable to attack.

Today’s enterprise anti-spam solutions typically deliver 95% effectiveness. Unfortunately, that’s not good enough. A border-line attack that gets through a 5% gap in defenses could cost your organization millions of dollars in terms of lost business, exposure to privacy threats, and brand loyalty.
Recent attacks show that spammers and scammers are determined to find their way through any gap, however slight, in an enterprise’s defenses. They’re exploiting a variety of tactics—including blended attacks combining email, Web access, and phony Web sites—to infect systems on enterprise networks.
This white paper discusses the ongoing evolution of spam threats and the technology needed to close that remaining 5% gap in defenses. To defeat spam, enterprises need a holistic approach rather than an uncoordinated collection of features and filters. By systematically tying features together through real-time machine learning and analysis, enterprises can increase the effectiveness of their spam defenses to nearly 100%.
