Hosted Email Security for Business

So what is hosted email security and how does it work? Hosted email security is typically a cloud-based email filtering service provided by a third-party online security company.

To better protect against email-borne threats and spam, businesses sign up with a third-party email security service provider so as to connect to the service provider’s email security servers by redirecting their MX records. Thereafter, all incoming and outgoing emails pass through the service provider’s hosted email security servers, and are filtered of any suspicious emails before they are delivered to the client’s mail server.

Hosted email security servers are managed and maintained by the third-party email security service providers. In most cases, domain administrators can also apply different acceptable spam thresholds by user, group, domain or business-wide via the management portal.

Thereafter, domain administrators can easily monitor the volumes of spam emails being detected, tagged, quarantined and rejected on-demand via the management portal. These reports can help business with reviewing their online security and also help in compiling risk assessments where required in regulated industries.
