Server Protect

With attacks against business servers up 70% since last year, more businesses are suffering the effects of hostile Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks or Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA). These types of attack often delay genuine business email for hours, and can even put business servers out of action for days or weeks on end.

During a so-called Directory Harvest Attack, spammers use brute force against your email server to compile comprehensive lists of valid email addresses to use or sell. Typically the spammer uses your company's email string, runs through common names and characters, monitoring the emails rejected by your company's server. Any that are not returned are assumed to be valid email addresses, and are usually spammed thereafter. The end result is your email server becomes overwhelmed, creating a ‘Denial of Service’ condition caused by the huge volume of non-delivery reports generated. For example, with 50,000 attempts on a business that has just 20 users, that amounts to some 49,980 non delivery reports choking up your e mail server.

Our MXSweep Server Protect offering will safeguard your servers and network by securely passing all inbound email, and connections through our network protection services.
