Red Condor Inc Case Study: Charleston Southern University

Overview

Charleston Southern University in South Carolina is a private Christian school and one of South Carolina's largest accredited independent universities with nearly 3,300 students and 450 faculty and staff. Even with an anti-spam product in place, students, faculty and staff were being bombarded with spam email, which made up 10-15 percent of all messages hitting the email servers and end-users email boxes. The school's small IT staff was faced with managing all spam whitelists and blacklists for the university and was frustrated with the spam leakage and false positives. After comparing a Barracuda Spam Firewall with a Red Condor MAG 2700, Bodden selected the Red Condor appliance.
