Exchange Spam Causing Growing Concern for IT

jak.com : Exchange spam is quickly becoming an overwhelming problem for organizations utilizing Microsoft Exchange Server. The amount of spam Exchange Server receives daily, is reaching critical mass. When queried, organizations of all sizes admit that email security has become their single most important challenge. The need to secure the organization against spam, phishing and fraud attacks, as well as email borne viruses, has become critical. Organizational resources are increasingly targeted to defeat this growing security threat, as IT departments struggle to protect systems, employees and customers from the pervasive efforts of criminal spam gangs.

The primary defense against Exchange spam, by organizations of all sizes, is the deployment of third-party anti-spam technology as perimeter security, surrounding the vulnerable Exchange Server mail server. Due primarily to the overwhelming popularity of Exchange Server, hackers, virus writers and spammers have teamed up to find and exploit the ever-increasing number of security vulnerabilities found in Microsoft's popular mail server.

With the myriad of anti-spam solutions currently on the market, how does an organization plagued with Exchange spam choose the solution best equipped to eliminate their risk? The primary test, according to many anti-spam experts, is to examine the anti-spam product's fundamental filtering paradigm. An effective barrier against today's criminal produced spam, should be pattern based. Pattern technology, as opposed to the simpler and less effective key-word technology used in the majority of spam filters, is uniquely capable of identifying and stopping this problem.

Extensible Messaging Platform ( EMP 5 ), will stop Exchange spam, phishing attacks and email borne viruses before they reach Exchange Server or the organization's employees and customers. Find More...

By Cesar G. Soriano, USA TODAY USAToday.com - London : "This Christmas season, the hottest-selling gifts in Europe are pricey American products such as iPods, the Xbox 360 and celebrity-inspired fashions. That kind of shopping has led to a very American problem: credit card debt." Nationwide, 34% of Britons say they will use credit cards or store cards to pay for their holiday purchases this year. And one in five say they are still paying off their gifts from last Christmas, according to a December poll by Zopa, an online lending agency. "The UK has adopted the American habit of credit with vigor, and consequently consumers are rapidly getting in over their heads," says Steve Rhode, president of Myvesta.org, a non-profit, debt-relief group. In August, U.S.-based Myvesta opened an office in Britain to deal with the growing number of Britons in debt.

I have a great suggestion that should help you out. Google trends is a great help with choosing what you should target. Google trends will show you how much traffic a search term in Google is getting. The power is not in knowing how much traffic it gets, but how much traffic it gets relative to a similar term.
