Anti-spam added to Unified Communications
February 03, 2006
The AT&T family of companies will provide the McAfee's anti-spam technology free-of-charge to its Unified Communications customers.
Unified Communications, which already offers McAfee's anti-virus technology, has incorporated anti-spam protection as an added layer of defense to help stop security threats before they impact customers or their networks.
AT&T Unified Communications harnesses the power of IP (Internet Protocol) to enable residential and small business customers to gather all of their voice, fax and e-mail message services into one easy-to-use system. Rather than checking multiple places for messages, customers with Unified Communications use a common mailbox, allowing them to retrieve, forward and reply to messages via phone or online - much like they handle email today. AT&T Unified Communications is currently available in the company's traditional 13-state local service territory.
"Small businesses are becoming more and more dependent upon their communication services to help shield their systems from malicious threats and unwanted mail," said Frank Jules, senior vice president, AT&T Business Marketing. "Because this service allows customers to use Unified Communications as their primary 'inbox' for all of their communications services, it is all the more critical that we provide the most advanced protection available for our business customers."
