  • In the Fight Against Spam, the End User is the Weakest Link
    These days, companies use numerous technologies to protect corporate resources, such as e-mail scanners, firewalls, web proxies, anti virus software, and spam filters. Spammers endlessly make it challenging by constantly updating and broadening the complexity, footprints, and extensive amount of spam they transmit, so keeping pace with the latest security updates, exploits, and scams requires continuous effort. Many spam blockers are unable to keep up with the many forms of e-mail threats. A rising percentage of these are holding no destructive payload themselves (thus getting around e-mail security that relies on malicious software signatures), but try to tempt users to web sites that are capable of "drive-by" infections. A system can become infected just by visiting a internet site. Promises of free music, ring tones, computer software, or movies provide incentives to visit these websites.
