My current managed service package provides gateway anti-virus and anti-spam protection, so why do I need Sophos?
There are three aspects to consider: confidentiality, manageability and cost. Effectively, you’re giving a third party full access to your entire e-mail system. This may present you with certain security risks. Secondly, user management offered by managed service providers is generally limited and anything complex or non-standard either becomes chargeable or is simply not possible to implement. Quick changes to policy to prevent legitimate mail being blocked can be time-consuming and costly. While the monthly cost might look attractive, the total cost over the contract period should be considered and the likelihood of additional costs estimated. In addition, what would the cost be to your organisation if confidential information were to leak out?
