CommentsDENVER—Nov. 24, 2003-MX Logic, Inc., a provider of advanced email protection and security solutions including spam and virus filtering, today announced that Sports Authority (NYSE: TSA), the nation's largest full-line sporting goods chain, has selected MX Logic's Email Defense Service to prevent spam, viruses and other email threats from entering its corporate network.
"We chose MX Logic services because they eliminate the flood of spam entering our messaging infrastructure, while providing up-to-the-minute protection from viruses and worms," said June Shirai, senior vice president and chief information officer of Sports Authority. "In addition, MX Logic's Email Defense Service stops attacks designed to interrupt service or collect corporate and personal email addresses—before these threats enter our network. This blanket of protection is valuable, as it ensures business continuity and helps contain costs."
According to Ferris Research, an individual email user not protected by spam-blocking technology can cost an organization $110 a year in lost productivity. Unwanted email, often usually totaling 40 percent to 70 percent of the Internet email traffic an enterprise must process inhibits employee productivity, increases network and storage costs, drains IT resources, and increases the risk of corporate liability and threats to the enterprise.
"As spam traffic continues to escalate, protecting and securing an enterprise from the deluge of unwanted mail is a costly and resource-intensive endeavor," said Kevin Fallon, president, MX Logic. "By blocking up to 98.5 percent of spam and enabling industry-leading low false positives, our innovative technology frees valuable IT resources to focus on core competencies instead of spam management."
MX Logic's Email Defense Service provides email protection and security solutions that protect enterprises, service providers and government organizations from spam, viruses, worms, malicious content and attachments, and other email threats. MX Logic's patent-pending spam-fighting solution provides highly accurate spam detection and enables industry-leading low false positives.
Providing a SecureMXSM feature that shields and conceals a customer's messaging infrastructure, including the location of its mail servers, from the public Internet, MX Logic's Email Defense Service removes the threat of network probes and provides robust protection from vulnerability and attack.
