Over the last decade, the Internet has become an integral day-to-day business tool, helping organizations to easily access and deliver information, communicate within the office or around the globe, and as a new distribution channel.

Unfortunately, as email and Web access and usage has grown to near ubiquitous status, so have the number of threats and risks to businesses that use these tools. Today’s Internet-powered businesses need to continually address spam and viruses, which plague email worldwide, spyware that attaches itself to user PCs even through innocent Web surfing, and even new regulations that cover the retention and retrieval of all corporate email messages.

Without the in-house IT expertise or resources necessary to adequately address these threats, a growing number of businesses are turning to managed service providers, like MX Logic, for help. By using a managed email or Web security service, businesses can relieve their IT departments from the on-going burden of threat management, and help the company as a whole reduce disruption to the business caused by threats. In addition, managed email and Web security services can help to increase employee productivity, safeguard business communications and information, and drastically reduce the costs associated with threat management.

The right provider with the right solutions

Today more than 20,000 businesses choose MX Logic to protect their networks, users, and business information from the threats inherent in email and Web usage. The largest independent managed security services provider in North America, MX Logic takes a unique approach in the development of its services, which set it apart from other managed service providers.

Recognizing that the majority of businesses do not have large IT departments or a wealth of threat management expertise, the company developed the MX Logic® Email Defense and the MX Logic^SM Web Defense Service to be highly effective against threats, but also to provide easy administration, management and use. MX Logic specifically designs its services for businesses that require enterprise-grade performance and service, without the enterprise-level complexity and costs.

The MX Logic Email Defense Service uses more than 20 separate filters to effectively block over 99% spam, viruses and worms from entering the corporate network. The service successfully thwarts coordinated email attacks, which can shut down a network in seconds, while also helping organizations to control the information flowing in and out of the business with content and attachment filtering. In the event of email network outages, the Email Defense Service can also include MX LogicSM Message Continuity, which provides email access and storage during outages, or the MX Logic^SM Fail Safe Service, a storage-only service.

Businesses looking to protect users and their networks from spyware, phishing (fraud), and Web-borne viruses can turn to the MX Logic Web Defense Service. Managed over the same Web-based administrative platform as the Email Defense Service, the MX Control Console, this service can also help businesses to control unauthorized Web surfing and to effectively enforce Internet usage policies.

In addition to email and Web threat protection, MX Logic can also help businesses to store and retrieve all inbound, outbound and internal email messages through the MX LogicSM Message Archiving service, which is powered by MessageWatcher®. Available as an effective way for any business to protect its information assets, Message Archiving is particularly helpful for businesses – particularly public companies and those in healthcare, financial services, law and insurance – who are subject to regulations that cover the monitoring, storing and retrieving of all corporate email messages.

All MX Logic services offer rapid activation and are scalable to grow along with the needs of the business. For more information on MX Logic services, call JC Kelly Microsolutions at 416-560-4484.
