City of Chico Kicks Spyware Out of Town With Mi5 Networks Webgate Appliance

Overview The City of Chico was founded in 1860 by General John Bidwell, and incorporated in 1872. Even with multi-layered anti-virus defenses in place, spyware, adware, and malware were slipping through and threatening the city's confidential data. The City of Chico installed Mi5 Webgate Appliance, which immediately began blocking new spyware, identifying spyware on existing machines, and dispatching cleanup automatically.
