More small- and medium-sized businesses are taking advantage of managed services providers such as Messagelabs, in order to avoid client-based antispam and antivirus applications, which can hamper employees' ability to concentrate on their core job function.By paying for a managed security service, small companies are able to redirect their Internet and e-mail access through a proxy server owned by the service provider, that filters out spam and e-mails containing malicious file attachments.
