CommentsMCI, Inc. (www.mci.com) today announced it is enhancing one of its fastest growing security services, Managed Email Content, to include content control. With MCI's newly enhanced anti-spam, anti-virus email scrubbing solution, businesses of all sizes can benefit from stronger security controls aimed at helping them better manage spam and keep their networks free from Internet threats.
By stopping unwanted email at the network border, businesses also can protect against lost productivity and lower network costs by reducing bandwidth, storage and computation costs associated with managing spam and destructive viruses.
"Security is top of mind for every CIO in America," said Mark Sitko, MCI vice president of Security Services Product Management.
MCI's Managed Email Content Service now delivers four-way protection with the addition of content control, expanding its anti-spam, anti-virus and image control capabilities.
By scanning email before it reaches a customer's network, MCI's Managed Email Content shields company users from unwanted or offensive content, and protects a corporate network from receiving harmful, damaging and inappropriate content.
According to research firm IDC, the volume of spam messages sent daily worldwide has jumped to 23 billion in 2004 from 7 billion in 2002. IDC's ROI calculator for spam and anti-spam solutions calculates that spam costs a typical firm of 5,000 email users $4.1 million per year in productivity for email users, IT staff and other resources spent dealing with spam.
"We rely on MCI's Managed Email Content Service to keep our network free from spam and viruses," said Danny Nichols, director of Information Technology at Hilex Poly Co LLC, a leading manufacturer of plastic bag and film products.
Utilizing MessageLabs patented Image Composition Analysis (ICA) technology, MCI can detect inappropriate, malicious and confidential content. ICA technology uses artificial intelligence to scan the subject, body and attachments of a user's email by monitoring key words and phrases.
Through MCI's Web-based security portal, Managed Email Content customers can gain online access to a wide variety of Web-based tools for account and network management.
