We already have a firewall, why do we need a SafePoint?

A firewall is designed to protect your network from external attacks and to control and/or limit the type of connections and traffic which are able to communicate with and/or access your network and servers, not to block or filter out Spam, Viruses and other unwanted and potentially dangerous email traffic.

The SafePoint Anti-Spam Firewall is positioned "in front" of your existing firewall and email server(s) and is able to immediately start working to block and filter up to 98% of all Spam and Virus laden emails using it's default "out of the box" settings alone.

The SafePoint system provides an integrated Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus solution offering complete email protection at the "network perimeter" level, before unwanted or potentially dangerous and costly email reaches your network or mail server.
