Email security solutions fall into three basic categories: software-based, appliance-based and managed services (also known as SaaS - Software-as-a-Service). Key weaknesses of software-based and appliance-based solutions include:
- Difficulties in ensuring the solution stays up-to-date
- Major commitment of in-house IT resources
- Ongoing investment in additional software/hardware etc, substantially increasing total cost of ownership
- A clean email "pipe"
- Round-the-clock, constantly updated real-time protection
- Freeing up of in-house IT resources
- Lower costs
