Cisco Now Makes Hosted E-Mail Security
Cisco Systems Inc. unveiled its IronPort Email Security, a new managed security service that's available in three flavors: Hosted, Hybrid Hosted and Managed. The company says the new services run the gamut of e-mail security basics -- from spam and data-loss protection to e-mail authentication capabilities -- and also deliver reporting features to let customers customize their services.
According to Cisco, unlike some other hosted e-mail security offerings, IronPort Email Security uses a discrete (or dedicated) infrastructure: The service is hosted in Cisco's network of Cisco datacenters. What's more, Cisco officials said, the IronPort service offering supports co-managed device access as well as access to real-time reporting, which gives customers greater control.
With reports saying that spam traffic is surging at an unprecedented rate, this is great product since it gives customers a flexible and scalable means of dealing with unprecedented spam volumes.
Cisco currently boasts a number of value propositions, including remote management and monitoring by Cisco's internal e-mail security experts; the elimination of costly training and ongoing spending for dedicated hardware; and 24x7 support.
