Tags: storm worm, spam, spreadsheet, pdf, email, infrastructure, direct marketing, network, marketing
Overview Learn all about the dangers and the costs of spam in all its forms - from stock-touting to PDF to spreadsheet and more. See how it clogs email inboxes, slows down network performance, invades privacy, and can crash servers. Understand how cybercriminals profit from their activities, how they are becoming more sophisticated, and why they are targeting their attacks more narrowly to the point that they are selecting specific corporate departments and individuals. That is, when they are not attacking so powerfully via the infamous "Storm Worm Botnet" for example, as to force a shutdown of a nation's banking, media and police websites, and other systems.
Learn why the holiday season is sometimes referred to as "spam season" because of spammers' attempts to capitalize on online consumer spending, which even takes place at work, creating risks to your business. See how spammers have more successful open rates than other forms of direct marketing. Understand the drawbacks of traditional hardware- and software-based defenses, which can be overwhelmed by sheer increases in spam volume, or "spikes." Learn about the unique benefits of MessageLabs multi-layered, managed Anti-Spam solution; as illustrated by a real-world case study where MessageLabs stopped spam cold, leaving the employees of that company to wonder if something was wrong with the email because the spam was missing from their inboxes. See how MessageLabs can help reduce the need for maintenance and the complexity of your IT infrastructure while effectively preventing spam from ever reaching your network.
