With the Internet constantly expanding, and outside the jurisdiction of any one authority, there is an ever-present danger from people who abuse its capabilities. Some publish potentially offensive content like pornography and racist material, others send masses of junk mail, or spam, while malicious hackers continue to write viruses, disrupt communications and gain unauthorised access to systems. There has never been a greater need to ensure security and safety for network users, especially in education where most users are children.
Although no single product or service can guarantee total protection, Atomwide has assembled a range of leading solutions that combine to form an effective defence against most Internet-based threats. Among these is the renowned EmailSystems service that checks email for viruses, spam and pornography.

Email is a boon for communication, but is increasingly the bearer of unwanted content including unsolicited messages, or 'spam', that consume network capacity while often carrying offensive material such as pornography, and viruses that delete data, forward personal files and cause costly system downtime.
By operating at the Internet level, the EmailSystems service traps infected and undesirable messages before they reach their destinations, using a mixture of proven commercial virus scanners and artificial intelligence technology.
