However, these are often not enough to counter the ever-evolving and sophisticated cyberattacks. Unfortunately, with all the marketing gimmicks, no service provider will admit that they offer an average solution. All service providers typically claim their spam filtering service gives the best protection against all email-borne threats \u2013 provides a high detection rate and low false-positive rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>When choosing the best spam filtering service for your business, there are several critical features your selected provider must offer for you to get the best value for money and the maximum protection for your users. We outline 15 features (in no particular order of priority) that your spam filtering service must have. Hopefully, if you already have a spam filtering service, it already has these features. If not, throw it back in the sea and give it some time to grow.

Choose a solution that offers outbound email scanning. This must be expressly stated in your contracts with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/email-filtering-service-for-businesses\">email filtering service provider<\/a>. If this is an add-on service, do not forget to factor this in when doing your cost analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Outbound email scanning helps to identify user email accounts that may have been compromised and are being used to distribute spam or malware. Outbound scanning checks emails before they leave your network and blocks any infected attachments and suspicious links. This will save your business from internal threats and also protect your organization\u2019s reputation from damage. It will minimize the risk that your organization will be blacklisted on the internet. Blacklisting may prevent you from being able to send messages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Spam_filtering_service_that_blocks_more_than_just_spam\"><\/span>2. Spam filtering service that blocks more than just spam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p>While spam filtering is crucial, it isn\u2019t the only thing you need to stop. You need a solution that will block viruses and worms that may be contained in email attachments. You also need a solution that will identify and block emails containing links that match those in a database of malicious URLs known to have been included in previous phishing emails. Blocking malicious URLs can offer protection from a range of advanced social engineering threats such as spear-phishing attacks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/ceo-fraud-phishing-attack\">CEO fraud<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/glossary\/business-email-compromise\">Business Email Compromise<\/a> (BEC) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/glossary\/ransomware\">ransomware<\/a>. The solution would also add the sender\u2019s IP address to the database to block future attempts coming from the same IP but with a different URL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Multiple_spam_and_virus_detection_engines\"><\/span>3. Multiple spam and virus detection engines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p>The best approach to email filtering today is using multiple spams, malware and virus detection engines to increase detection rates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Sandboxing_for_protection_from_zero-day_attacks\"><\/span>4.

It is therefore essential to consider a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/email-spam-filter\">spam filtering service<\/a> that uses technology that will allow for the detection and blocking of zero-day attacks. Sandboxing is used to identify and block <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/glossary\/zero-day-attack\">zero-day attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Greylisting\"><\/span>5. Greylisting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p>By default, a spam filter alone will offer protection from known sources of spam. Greylisting provides protection from new or unknown sources of spam. Greylisting returns emails from unknown sources back to their originating servers requesting for the email to be resent. It is based on the premise that spammers\u2019 servers are usually too busy to respond to the request and therefore, the spam email will not be resent.<\/p>\n<p>With greylisting, it is not necessary to whitelist so many <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/top-4-winning-tactics-for-building-an-email-list\/\">trusted senders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Email_authentication\"><\/span>6.

Ease of use is a crucial factor to consider when choosing a spam filtering service.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ml-3\">\n<p>&#8211; It should allow for customization where possible &#8211; for instance, adding to whitelist or blacklists.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; It should also have logging and reporting capabilities.

Choose a solution that allows you to search for messages in the quarantine platform. Searches can be by email, subject, recipients, etc. It would be too time-consuming to manually look through a spam quarantine folder to identify a missing email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_No_hardware_or_software_to_install\"><\/span>10.

Anything that can empower your users to perform some tasks on their own is a worthwhile solution. The best spam filtering solutions offer individual user access to their quarantined emails where a user can search for and release a false positive. Since users can do this for themselves, the IT team does not have to chase tickets all day long about missing emails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_A_multilingual_spam_filtering_solution\"><\/span>12.

A fully-managed spam filtering service will be a better choice to ensure that the responsibility of updating and monitoring the solution is left entirely up to them. Also, choose a service where support is easily accessible, 24\/7 if you have any concerns to report or questions you need to be answered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-capitalize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Cost-effective_and_scalable\"><\/span>14.
