Boston Celtics Shut Out Spyware With Mi5 Networks Webgate Appliance

Overview A charter member of the Basketball Association of America since 1946, the Boston Celtics have produced a legacy of success that no other professional sports franchise can match. The existing desktop anti-spyware solutions were not adequately protecting the team's PCs from spyware and were overly difficult to implement. As a solution the company chose Mi5 Networks Webgate 003 model which was installed as the first line of spyware defense. The Mi5 device had an immediate positive impact on the spyware problem. Workstation and network performance increased, and Help Desk calls decreased dramatically.
