Unwanted email, or "spam," has proliferated
at staggering rates, and a recent study by Radicati Group (June 2003)
notes that spam currently represents 52 percent of all email traffic
and is expected to grow to 70 percent by 2007. Further, spam-related
costs are expected to increase from $49 per mailbox in 2003 to $250
per mailbox in 2007.
The graph below shows disproportionate growth
in spam volume compared to legitimate email, highlighting the problem
enterprises face today.
To address this growing problem, VeriSign Email
Security Service delivers best-of-breed Spam Filtering, Virus Scanning,
Disaster Recovery, Policy Enforcement, and Outbound Services. The Email
Security Service Admin Center provides access to a set of comprehensive
reports that give a detailed view into the use of a customer's email
system.

Digital IDs for Secure Email
Installed in your Web browser or email software,
a VeriSign Digital ID serves as an electronic substitute for sealed
envelopes and handwritten signatures, enabling you to:
- Digitally sign email
messages to assure recipients that the email really was sent by you.
- Encrypt email contents
and attachments, protecting them from being read by online intruders.
Only your intended recipient can decrypt them.
- Receive U.S. $1,000
of NetSureSM protection against economic loss caused by corruption,
loss, or misuse of your Digital ID.
- Free revocation
and replacement if your Digital ID is lost or corrupted
NOTE: A Digital ID cannot be used with a Web-based email service.
Example: Yahoo or Hotmail are Web-based email services.
