Behind email is a threat to every organisation.

Viruses, spam and other harmful or unwanted content can cause serious damage. And it's not just loss of productivity. Legal liabilities, IT resources, industrial relations or corporate image could all be impacted by content introduced through email.

The best place to protect your e-mail is at the Internet level. MessageLabs operates a managed email security service that scans and eliminates threats such as viruses, spam and other unwanted content before they get near your network. 

The MessageLabs global infrastructure acts as your first and strongest line of defence, with no additional hardware or software required. The infrastructure combines world-class patented technology with around the clock support.

MessageLabs' high level of protection delivers email that is clean and safe, supporting your organisation's email policy.  

Anti-Virus

The MessageLabs anti-virus service uses multiple scanners and Skeptic's predictive technology to detect and stop all viruses, known and unknown, before they reach you.  

Anti-Spam

MessageLabs' anti-spam service employs a combination of Skeptic predictive technology, 3 rd party software, signature management and client configurable approved and blocked sender lists to ensure you only get the emails you want from the people you know.  

Image Control

MessageLabs' Image Control scans and detects inappropriate content in inbound and outbound email. It's capabilities go beyond the flesh tone analysis and standard filters, using ground breaking image composition analysis to provide more accurate detection of pornographic and other unwanted images.  

Content Control

MessageLabs' Content Control enables you to identify and control confidential, malicious or inappropriate content sent or received by your organisation. Applying a combination of technology and configurable usage rules, the service incorporates textual scanning, textual analysis and attachment controls.
