As Spam Hits All-time High Safety Send Sets in Motion a New Spam Interceptor to Combat the “basket of snakes” as the Ultimate Thief.

Spam adds cost our economy in the billions every year. Safety Send Interceptor technology foils the thief.  Spam is a sinister hidden cost that robs organizations of up to one hour a day from productive work from every email user. Interceptor stops well over 90% of Spam.

The Safety Send Interceptor is a “smart” technology that constantly learns from spam attempts and applies variable algorithm interception to detect and reject Spam.  Other Spam protection systems are static and expensive. Interceptor does not need the constant upgrades and maintenance usually required to try and keep up with Spam. Interceptor stops the end user support and education which is frustrating and costly. Critical communications are not delayed and users are not frustrated with Spam and email problems. While no defense is 100% effective, the best answer is to use a dynamic technology that constantly adjusts to the variable tactics of Spammers.

Shawn Fry, Safety Send Chief Information Officer concluded a panel discussion hosted by HIPAA News on Spam and said; “Spam is like a basket of snakes, some are poisonous and some are just annoying. Spammers are very smart, tricky and change methods every day. They use sophisticated tools to collect valid addresses from free email systems, web sites, robbed email addresses, and online directories. When you respond to junk e-mail asking to be removed or click on so called "opt-out" links that are often embedded with spyware to track your activity or malware designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the your knowledge. In other cases, “opting-out” verifies that your address is valid and increases the volume of SPAM you receive. A computer virus can enter a computer within or as an attachment to a spam e-mail. Better to avoid snakes than test each one with a bite to see if they are poisonous.”

Medical and Commercial clients of Safety Send report a massive reduction in Spam due to the Interceptor. When junk mail comes in the mailbox, it can be thrown in the trash. Spam email is different, it can be a benign nuisance or a malicious infection. Spammers use human nature to their advantage. Most people “check their mail”. Computer Mail Services calculates that every 10 users with spam can cost almost $2000.00 a year in direct cost.  Many companies report an average of an hour a day per user in lost productivity cost just to clean out spam.

Safety Send Interceptor was designed and built to meet the demands of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (GLB). It has since become a prime method to protect communication well beyond the medical and financial community.
