whitepaper E-mail Security Buyer's Guide: Software, Appliance, Managed Service2008-10-01 MessageLabs
  Email security solutions fall into three basic categories: software-based, appliance-based and managed services (also known as SaaS - Software-as-a-Service). Key weaknesses of software-based and appliance-based solutions include:
  • Difficulties in ensuring the solution stays up-to-date
  • Major commitment of in-house IT resources
  • Ongoing investment in additional software/hardware etc, substantially increasing total cost of ownership
By comparison, managed services offer many clear advantages:
  • A clean email "pipe"
  • Round-the-clock, constantly updated real-time protection
  • Freeing up of in-house IT resources
  • Lower costs
MessageLabs is the leading vendor of SaaS worldwide. Its unique proprietary technology, Skeptic?, and world-leading global infrastructure enable MessageLabs to deliver benchmark levels of accurate threat protection at extremely competitive cost; its services also offer unrivalled Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and ease of use.

This paper offers a primer on the problems, the sizable costs and time drain for IT professionals, and a discussion of an effective third-generation solution that goes far beyond the traditional strategy.
