Abstract
This study presents a summary and analysis of a survey conducted by IDC. This
comprehensive study was designed with the aim of revealing, understanding,
analyzing, and presenting the predominant issues relating to perceptions about
messaging security, both positive and negative.
"Our survey clearly shows that organizations need more effective antispam
solutions," said Brian Burke, program director for IDC' s security program. "We
found an alarming 60% of organizations reporting spam blocking effectiveness of
less than 95%, and only 11% reported effectiveness of 99% or above. IDC
believes many organizations still use older technology that can' t keep up with
more sophisticated spamming techniques or the increasing volume of spam."
