Event Overview:
You've implemented spam and virus filters - yet the raw quantity of spam
keeps exploding, your message queues are ballooning, and you keep
expanding your email infrastructure and storage capacity to keep up. And
everybody's OK with this? The fact is that 90% of today's inbound email
traffic is junk - and increasingly dangerous. Most spam filters don't
protect you from directory harvest attacks, email denial of service
attacks, malformed SMTP packets, invalid recipient addresses and other
unwanted email messages. In fact, the purpose of many of these attacks
is to compromise your directory, steal valid email addresses - and send
you more spam!

The impact and costs of these new security threats are significant:

* Regulatory compliance is at risk when directories are compromised
* Organizations often expand their email and storage infrastructures
just to keep up with the traffic volume
* Performance slow-downs wreak havoc on networks
* Help desks spend unnecessary time on spam related calls from
frustrated coworkers

Tumbleweed, the leader in communication security, invites you to join us
for this live case study webcast. David Giaramita has helped some of the
nation's largest companies deal with emerging email threats.

Join David as he shares his experiences tackling these very real
problems. He'll discuss:

* His approach to defending the email infrastructure
* Quantifiable results showing the impact of the problem
* Cost-effective steps to eliminate most junk email without your
expanding infrastructure
* Best practices for implementing an effective internet email
security strategy
