Solve Spam with SofScan!

Net North West users have been recommending SoftScan, to help protect them from unwanted and harmful emails such as spam and viruses, as part of our Added Value Services.

SoftScan provides a hosted spam and virus email filtering service that relieves organisations from the burden of using internal resources, whilst enabling full configurability to comply with company policy. It uses five different filters including SoftScan’s own intelligent scanner, Paranoid, which uses advanced analysis of email behaviour to block unwanted emails – enabling it to stop viruses before conventional scanners have adjusted to the new threat.

Wilf Gardner, business development manager of Net North West explains, “After considerable review of the leading providers, we chose SoftScan to recommend to our members because they were by far the most flexible in their approach to a hosted service. Although Net North West links its members together we do operate as separate entities and some policies for dealing with email attachments, for instance, might suit one organisation more than other. Having that flexibility delivered at a competitive cost made the service very appealing.”

“Dealing with spam and virus threats stretch IT resources to the maximum,” says Phil Watts, managing director of SoftScan UK. “With over 80% of email classified as spam, by choosing SoftScan, Net North West members will not only reduce network administrators’ work load, but receive additional benefits such as increased bandwidth availability and improved user productivity as only legitimate email messages enter the network.”
