Stops viruses, spam and unwanted content before it reaches the network
Sydney, AUSTRALIA, 8th March 2005 – Inadequate Internet security
doesn't just disrupt day-to-day activity. It can cripple a business
through lost customer contact, corrupted data, expensive system clean-ups
and damage to corporate reputation.
To solve this problem, Macquarie Telecom has launched a new managed
services offering called Clean Internet to provide maximum protection for
business and government.
For one Australian organisation, Macquarie Telecom Clean Internet
reduced network traffic by more than 22 per cent in a single week: the
company received around 120,000 emails during this time, of which more
than 8,500 viruses were stopped and 18,730 were quarantined as spam.
“Just as you expect clean water when you turn on the tap; you should be
able to expect clean Internet from your internet service,” said Glen
Noble, general manager, Macquarie Telecom Data & Hosting. “However, this
is far from reality today.”
Designed to stop viruses, spam and unwanted content before it reaches
your network, Macquarie Telecom Clean Internet comprises:
• Virus protection - Companies may already have desktop anti-virus
protection measures, but Macquarie Telecom Clean Internet adds an
additional layer of protection at network level
• Anti Spam - Anti-spam on the network layer prevents unwanted spam and
as a result, unwanted email traffic from entering the LAN. Download
volumes are lowered thereby saving on Internet traffic costs as well as
reducing resultant loss of productivity
• Content filtering – Unwanted and offensive content is blocked without
the need for expensive hardware, software and continual maintenance
A detailed monthly report on virus and spam activity enables customers
to refine their security policies to further enhance business protection.
Because Clean Internet is managed entirely by Macquarie Telecom,
business and government benefit from world-class, independently certified,
Internet security backed by some of the most stringent service level
guarantees in the industry. As an introductory special, Macquarie Telecom
is offering its Clean Internet Solution from as little as $5 per month per
user until 30th April 2005*.
* Terms and Conditions: 24 month contract, solution requires Macquarie
Telecom internet connection, free install for standard set up.
