Alternative to Sophos Email

Businesses looking to protect their environment from threats of malware and ransomware attacks typically search for a secure mail server to ensure communication amongst colleagues and other organizations remains private. Removing viruses, scanning for security risks, and preventing data loss are all key components to evaluate when choosing a proper mail server. One such mail server, Sophos, uses artificial intelligence to detect suspicious messages that may contain threats, malware, and unwanted applications. In addition to this, Sophos can also:

Protect Sensitive Data: Through the use of email encryption, messages are able to be scanned and attachments analyzed to ensure that no threatening contents can be opened and shared. Policies can also be made to block or encrypt messages fairly easily.

Show Comprehensive Reports: Statistics are provided which show message history, message summary, and message details to allow users to see the full composition of the conversation they are being sent.

Integrate with Other Email Providers: With flexible integration, Sophos can be deployed on a variety of email servers like, Office 365 , G-Suite, and Exchange .

While Sophos offers all of this and more, it is not the sole email server on the market. Other servers provide the same strengths listed above at a rate that will increase ROI while offering a variety of features that can be considered more user-friendly while remaining strong and secure. Xeams is a comprehensible, easily configurable, and secure spam fighter that protects against viruses, and other cyber threats.
