Focus: Spam

Don't make a meal out of spam

Phil Watts

Managing Director of SoftScan UK

On average, over the last year, statistics from SoftScan show that only 10 per cent of emails that passed through its scanner were legitimate messages. Less than two per cent were viruses and a whopping 88 per cent were classified as spam. Although a successful virus attack can cause havoc to a company's network, spam causes far more day to day disruption and may be costing organizations more than they realize.
