choice of deployment models built on the solid foundation of
industry-leading email security technology that protects 40
percent of Fortune 1000 companies from inbound threats and
outbound data loss possibilities.
Today's email-borne threats consist of viruses, spam, false positives, distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, spyware, phishing (fraud), regulatory compliance
violations, data loss and more. Cisco® Cloud Security addresses the issues faced by
corporations, both large and small, by incorporating preventive and reactive security
measures that are easy to deploy and manage.

measures that are easy to deploy and manage.
While email threats continue to grow and evolve, organizations are demanding more
from their IT teams – more protection, more efficiency and more flexibility. To meet these
demands, IT teams need more flexibility to architect solutions that address these busi-
ness imperatives. Flexibility provides choice in deployment options for email security
and falls under three board categories. First, there are customers that want to improve
operational efficiency by outsourcing the problem of spam through the use of cloud
or software as a service (SaaS) solutions. The second includes customers that want to
maintain maximum control of sensitive outbound information through the deployment of
on-premises email security infrastructure. The third category encompasses customers
that want to use a hybrid (or divided) approach – which includes use of cloud solutions
for efficiency while still maintaining the benefits of an on-premises appliance-based
deployment.
