Educational System Cuts Spam, Millions in Costs, With Hosted E-Mail Filtering Solution | 2008-03-01 | Microsoft |
| The Kentucky Department of Education manages the public educational system for the state's 174 school districts. An internal IT services group, the Office of Education Technology (OET), oversees the schools' Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 e-mail environment, which has more than 750,000 mailboxes. That environment was plagued with a growing spam problem, which slowed down the system and resulted in lost time and productivity for students, teachers, and IT administrators. To fix the problem, OET deployed a hosted spam-filtering solution from Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services. Since then, the department has seen improved protection against spam while realizing millions of dollars in savings related to e-mail management costs. The department's solution has also restored lost instructional and administrative time, and empowered individual school districts with better e-mail management tools.

Secure Computing Case Study: FW Murphy | 2008-01-11 | Secure Computing |
| FW Murphy is the leading manufacturer of gauges and controllers for engines and engine-driven equipment. Spam surges were impacting FW Murphy's ability to function. Some executives were experiencing over 100 spam emails a day in their inboxes. The company was also concerned about their Exchange server sitting on the edge of their network. It provided very minimal security and IT administrators needed to constantly update its operating system with patches, often with reboots, in order to ensure it was secure. FW Murphy chose Secure Computing IronMail because of the industry recognition it received, the price point, and its appliance-based approach.
