Belnet Advanced Mail Security or BAMS is much more than an anti-spam solution. It is a total solution for the security of your organisation's e-mail traffic. In times of large-scale teleworking in which fraudulent e-mails are the primary threat, it's best to 'arm' yourself professionally. BAMS offers every type of organisation optimal protection from internal and external threats.

The solution allows the community to securely meet and work together online. In the meantime, many users have found their ways to our Jitsi platform. We have noticed that dozens of meetings, both face-to-face as well as large groups, are taking place simultaneously on a regular basis.
