Securing a Major German Insurer Using a Personal Firewall in the Endpoint Security Solution From Symantec | 2007-10-04 | Symantec |
| Forewarned is forearmed. That could be the motto by which HUK-COBURG protects its business network and mobile terminals from Internet viruses. Only clients found to be clean in a virus protection test will in future be allowed to log in to the major German insurer, and it's made possible by the personal firewall in Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection software. The solution not only enables the differentiated definition of security requirements to be met by the client for each employee and each location, it also means that the established guidelines on client security are kept under control. Missing updates are immediately detected and automatically carried out. If this is not possible, update gaps are 'Punished' by means of a restricted radius of action.

International Retailer Reduces Junk E-Mails, Frees Up Network With New Security Solution | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| King of Shaves is a retail brand selling nearly 100 products. Its U.K. office has 25 administrative, management, sales, and production employees, while its U.S. office has two sales employees. Each product is linked to a customer care e-mail address, which generates a lot of junk mail for the company. Because its employees use e-mail and the Internet for more than half of all business activities and 95 per cent of customer correspondence is conducted using e-mail, King of Shaves relies heavily on filtering and security features to protect its communications from junk e-mail and virus attacks. Few years ago, the company began using Microsoft Forefront Client Security (formerly Antigen) to create a secure environment for all its business desktops, laptops, and server operating systems.

To better handle this problem, the firm deployed Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services to implement a hosted solution for spam filtering.

University Limits Spam, Reduces IT Costs With E-Mail Filtering Service | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| Ireland's oldest and most famous university, Trinity College Dublin, was fighting a growing spam problem. Each day, university staff and students received dozens of unsolicited e-mail messages, forcing them to spend the first half-hour of their day deleting unwanted, and sometimes offensive, messages. Of the 20 million messages sent and received each month, 80 percent were spam, overloading the university's servers, tying up IT staff, and delaying the receipt of legitimate e-mail by up to two to three hours. To confront this problem, Trinity deployed Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services, a hosted solution for spam filtering. The solution has greatly cut back the number of unsolicited e-mail messages, dramatically increasing staff and student productivity.
