1.3 How Trustwave MailMarshal Helps You

Unmonitored email presents both financial and legal dangers to a company. For example, spam represents a dramatic financial threat in terms of the cost of storage, bandwidth, and wasted employee time. Virus infection and malicious code can be costly in employee time, repair time, and lost data. Inappropriate and offensive email content wastes time and is a potential liability.

Using MailMarshal, your company can earn a significant ROI as you secure your network, protect corporate assets, reduce the potential for corporate liability, and improve workplace productivity.

MailMarshal analyzes email content and attachments entering your network to deliver a greater than 97% spam detection rate with less than 0.001% false positives. MailMarshal protects your network and resources by reducing spam and eliminating other undesirable content before it enters your network. By scanning for viruses and detecting and preventing gateway attacks, MailMarshal helps ensure network availability for business purposes.

1.3.2 Delivers Layered Spam Protection

MailMarshal provides a multi-layered approach to email security, pioneering the latest technologies to protect your business from spam, gateway attacks, viruses, phishing attempts, and suspect URLs embedded in email.
