It consumes storage space and bogs down email servers. And it consumes tremendous amounts of **bandwidth** with frivolous or dangerous messages and traffic. With the _yearly increase in the volume of spam, finding the right spam blocking solution is vitally important to business_, because without effective spam blocking, productivity can and will grind to a halt. But what does that effective solution look like? To be truly effective, an email spam blocker must keep unnecessary mail out of users inboxes by eliminating it before it even reaches the corporate network. By doing this, the spam blocker also eliminates email-borne threats such as malware, and prevents employees from succumbing to many forms of phishing attack and ransomware. As a component of Advanced Threat Defense Suite, DuoCircle’s [Spam Filtering Gateway](/email/spam-filtering/) is a cloud-based solution that eliminates spam before it can reach your network.
