Businesses have to deal with thousands of spam emails each day. Each employee may spend just a few minutes each day dealing with spam emails, but that time could be much better spent on other tasks. Multiply those minutes by the number of employees and it adds up to a significant loss of productivity.
At best, spam email is a nuisance and a drain on productivity. But it is not just nuisance emails that arrive in inboxes. Businesses face a barrage of phishing emails, and malware and ransomware are usually delivered via email.
All it takes is for one employee to be fooled by a malicious email for a network to be compromised, credentials to be revealed, and for files to be encrypted by ransomware. The cost of dealing with those attacks can be considerable.
The solution is to deploy an advanced spam filter that will scan all incoming messages for spam signatures, check email attachments for malware, and assess embedded hyperlinks that would otherwise direct employees to phishing websites and exploit kits. Spam and malicious emails are then quarantined, while genuine emails are delivered without delay.
SpamTitan Attracts Top Marks from Users
To help businesses fend off spam email and ransomware attacks, TitanHQ developed SpamTitan. SpamTitan anti-spam software subjects all incoming emails to a Bayesian analysis. Emails are analyzed for spam signatures and the system ‘learns’ from new spam email campaigns ensuring it remains up to date and copes with new spamming tactics.
Greylisting is used as an additional spam control – Requests are made for suspect messages to be resent. Since spam servers are busy, the delay in messages being resent helps to identify and block more spam messages. These and other controls ensure SpamTitan blocks more than 99.9% of spam email, and ensure a false positive rate of less than 0.03%.
While many spam solutions are difficult to implement and troublesome to maintain, SpamTitan can be configured in minutes and has a low management overhead.
SpamTitan has also been attracting top reviews from users, in particular for ease of implementation and use, high spam capture rates, low false positives and for TitanHQ’s industry-leading customer service.
On the business software review website Capterra, SpamTitan has been awarded 4.5/5 points overall and has received top marks for technical support and customer service.
Some of the positive comments from users of SpamTitan are listed below:
“I like that once you have configured it, you basically forget about it. It just works seamlessly and you don’t worry about it.”
“It has been great stopping emails that bring spam or ransomware. We used to get hundreds of bad emails and now we don’t.”
“The 100% uptime, ease of use, flexibility, customization options, seamless updates, clustering, and support folks who are easy to work with.”
“Wonderful product that I will recommend to every network/systems administrator.”
“It has taken so much workload off of our servers and IT staff. We still run all our security software and best practices but our AV software has barely caught anything with SpamTitan catching all the bad guys. “
Benefits of SpamTitan
SpamTitan is costs as little as $17 a month for 10 users and the solution requires no software downloads or hardware purchases. Setup takes just a few minutes and once it is up and running, there is next to no maintenance.
If you already have a spam solution in place and it is labor-intensive and complicated to use, you want to cut costs, or your solution has too many false positives and lets too much spam email through its filters, it is time to make a change.
If you have yet to implement a spam filter, claim back all the lost hours of productivity and improve your organization’s security with SpamTitan.

TitanHQ has published a new data sheet for ArcTitan Cloud, detailing the features and benefits of this cost-effective, convenient, and secure email archiving solution for businesses.
Email Storage is a Nightmare for Most Businesses
Email has changed the way companies do business. Just a decade ago, businesses relied on letters and faxes, yet today, email is now serving those needs. Email accounts are now used to receive and send orders, store critical business data, and communicate with staff, clients, and customers.
Email accounts now contain a vast amount of data and access to that information needs to be maintained at all times. Given the volume of emails that are sent and received each day by each employee, storage is a major issue. Most medium to large businesses have to purchase a considerable amount of hardware just to store their emails. Storage requirements can also rapidly change, so additional capacity is always required to meet changing storage needs.
While sufficient storage can be purchased, it is not long before space is used, mailbox quotas are reached, servers start to become sluggish, and backups start to take an age to complete.
Good email practices can help, but employees are increasingly using email for document storage and are placing even greater pressures on email storage solutions.
While storage demands can be eased by deleting old and unwanted emails, businesses that are required to comply with the Sarbanes Oxley Act or other email archiving legislation may not have this option. Emails therefore need to be archived so they can be accessed at any time.
A lost email could be a major headache for a business, but if there is a legal dispute or an audit, a lost email could be catastrophic. Lost emails could result in significant fines for non-compliance and even imprisonment. With email archiving legislation often calling for emails to be stored for a minimum of seven years, many companies have frequent organizational storage nightmares.
Businesses can solve their storage needs with additional hardware and internal storage solutions, but recovering emails can prove problematic. If emails are not stored or archived correctly, searches can take an extraordinary amount of time. PST files can be a nightmare, especially if searches need to be performed or emails need to be regularly retrieved from archives. However, storing emails in SQL databases brings its own headaches. Costs can be excessive, databases often perform poorly, backups become exceedingly complex, and there is significant potential for data loss.
Fortunately, companies can solve their email storage needs by using a secure, cloud-based email archiving system: One that allows an unlimited number of emails to be securely stored, while also ensuring searches can be quickly performed and emails quickly and easily retrieved at any time.
Key Benefits of ArcTitan
ArcTitan Cloud from TitanHQ is a powerful, cloud-based email archiving solution that has been designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes, especially companies in heavily regulated industries where audits are to be expected.

The versatile storage solution is designed to grow with businesses, with no limits on storage space or the number of users.
To explain the features and benefits of ArcTitan Cloud, TitanHQ has produced a new data sheet for ArcTitan Cloud, covering the most important elements of the solution for quick and easy reference. If you are struggling with storage space, are unhappy with your current email storage or archiving solution, or are looking to cut the cost of email storage, ArcTitan Cloud could well be the solution you are looking for.

SpamTitan is a robust and powerful anti-spam solution for businesses that offers protection from malicious emails and blocks 99.97% of spam from being delivered. The massive increase in malware and ransomware has made the use of anti-spam solutions more important that every before.
SpamTitan is already extensively used by businesses in TitanHQ’s home country of Ireland and throughout Europe and the Americas. TitanHQ’s products are now used by more than 6,500 business customers in 129 countries around the world.

As the only cybersecurity-as-a-service in-country cloud operator in the entire Middle East region, Zservices is the perfect partner to sell TitanHQ’s anti-spam solutions for businesses.
