The State of Spam

More than 80 percent of all email today is spam, placing a significant strain on your network, budget, and employee productivity. Our objective is to leverage mail security intelligence from the Symantec Global Intelligence Network to help protect your business from spam. By offering up-to-date expert resources, such as the monthly State of Spam Report, this site gives you a central source to turn to for the latest on spam.

Each month, Symantec publishes its "State of Spam" report, highlighting major spam events or trends observed during the previous month. The report covers broad events that impact everyone, as well as those that impact a particular region of the world.
