Network Security White Papers

IronPort Provides an Education in Email Security

Tags:
network security

Overview Over 540,000 emails per day are directed to the students and staff of Weber School District, and more than 97 percent of those messages are spam. Not only is the content of these messages damaging to students, it can act as a vector for destructive desktop viruses, and overload the District's four Groupwise 7.1 servers. Weber School District had a long experience with anti-spam appliances. However, previous solutions suffered from a low capture rate, false positives, occasional crashes (resulting in long periods of downtime) and unmanageable content filtering. These legacy systems also required frequent manual updates. In late 2005, Weber School District installed an IronPort C30 email security appliance. Weber School District is also running IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters.
