Fuddruckers announced it has chosen MX Logic’s Email Defense Service to stop spam, viruses, worms and other email threats from entering its network.

"Spam was becoming a huge pain point for us. We didn't want our employees spending time sifting through spam to find legitimate e-mails and we didn't want the main focus of our talented IT staff to be on managing spam and performing damage control after virus attacks," said Frank Gomes, systems administrator at Fuddruckers. "MX Logic's Email Defense Service is automated and effective. Now our network is not only protected from spam, but also from a host of other costly threats, without putting additional administrative pressures on our IT staff."

According to Ferris Research, protecting the enterprise from spam and other e-mail threats costs $110 per employee per year, reaching a predicted cost to U.S. organizations of $10 billion in 2003. As spam traffic grows at a compound rate of 63% per year, the volume and proliferation rate of worms continues to escalate as well.

"The mounting cost of handling spam and other e-mail threats is too much to bear for organizations that rely on e-mail for critical communications," said John Street, CEO of MX Logic. "To protect against this resource drain and ensure business continuity, organizations must leverage robust e-mail defense that blocks spam, viruses and worms instantly."
