Any business, regardless of size, can benefit from using Symantec Mail Security. It's very well customizable, easy to use and set up, and easy to maintain. It's a great tool to avoid unsolicited messages, security issues, phishing attacks, viruses, etc. It's really reassuring that the software is kept up-to-date, so we can be sure to be protected should a new kind of attack emerge.
