Hobsons Bay City Council and Nillumbik Shire Council are just two Local Governments that have installed IronPort’s C100™ email security appliance. IronPort® Systems, Inc. is the leading email and web security products provider. Its easy to use email security appliances protect networks against viruses and other Internet borne threats.
Hobsons Bay installed IronPort system to protect its email infrastructure, significantly reducing the administration workload associated with email security and meeting its service level agreements for email delivery.
According to Mark Cilia, Council’s IT Manager, “A lot of incoming emails contain images such as building plans, which were blocked by our previous email security product. Our single help desk staff member was spending hours each day checking these quarantined emails.”
Now, the help desk team member spends less than 15 minutes per day on any emails that don’t match the C100’s quarantine rules. In addition, end users are receiving their emails much faster as the C100 doesn’t stop emails with images unless flagged by IronPort Reputation Filters™.
According to Geoff Edmonds, IT Manager at Nillumbik Shire, his Council was able to identify 81 per cent of incoming emails as spam as soon as the IronPort 100 was installed.
“We were surprised at the amount of rubbish we were receiving and have been impressed by IronPort’s Reputation Filters,” he said.
Unlike systems which have to be trained to recognise spam on arrival, IronPort identifies it in the outside world and deflects it at the connection level, thereby conserving bandwidth and valuable system resources.
