Over Came Spam

CUSTOMER –
Bible Baptist Church in Kissimmee, Florida. The church opened its Heritage Christian School.

YEAR – 2001

SOLUTION PROVIDED –
WatchGuard Technologies - Unified Threat Management

CHALLENGES FACED BY THE CUSTOMER –
The church developed a significant spam problem that seriously interfered with the staff’s productivity. Even with Exchange Server 2003’s built in spam filter, some staff members were getting 200 to 300 spam emails per day. Aside from the drain on productivity and the potential threat to the network’s security, there was an increasing issue of inappropriate content exposure, especially for a religious institution.

BENEFITS THE CUSTOMER GAINED –
The most dramatic was the Firebox X750e UTM Bundle’s effectiveness at blocking spam. As a result, staff productivity has increased significantly, plus management has the peace of mind knowing that employees and students are no longer subjected to offensive material. Another key benefits was the firewall’s anti-virus capabilities, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, VPN protection, easy-to-use user interface and comprehensive reporting features.
