Q: How does this service protect my email infrastructure?
A: As your email enters the Sprint network, it will be cleaned and filtered prior to delivering it to your email server. If your server is unavailable for any reason, Sprint will not bounce your messages. Instead, the messages will be queued until they can be delivered, thus protecting you from email loss.
Q: How does this service protect my servers?
A: Since your servers are shielded behind our network, they are completely invisible to the Internet and cannot be attacked. Regardless of your operating system, your patch level, or any vulnerability that may be exploited, your servers and your data are protected. Even if you install a local hardware solution to protect your email servers, the risk of suffering a disabling denial of service attack can still be high. A local solution simply cannot protect as well as the Sprint network. To successfully strike the Sprint network, an attacker would have to simultaneously disable dozens of servers, across seven data centers and through three different Tier 1 Internet backbone providers.
Q: How secure is the Sprint network?
A: Sprint Data Centers are compliant with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' SAS 70 standards. SAS 70 standards require a data center's network infrastructure and processes to pass rigorous, third-party testing and demonstrate an environment with the processes and controls to effectively host and exchange corporate data and financial information for enterprise customers. Many companies, especially financial services companies, require credible proof that a service provider has processes and controls in place to provide a stable and secure network that can safely exchange private customer data. By meeting SAS 70 standards and adhering to Sprint's own internal standards, you are assured greater levels of reliability, availability, and security.
Sprint also leverages the advantages of our distributed architecture and software to protect you from denial of service and hacker attacks. Because your servers sit behind the secure Sprint network, they are protected from these kinds of threats.
Q: How secure is my email?
A: Sprint does not read, copy, distribute, tamper with, change, or otherwise interfere or observe your email beyond our filtering for unwanted content.
