Unfortunately, the options that traditionally have been available to small businesses, such as antispam appliances and services, have been less than perfect solutions. Miocon Networks, for example, a small technology integrator in Louisville, Kentucky, relied on a third-party email filtering service to reduce spam, but the service carried a high recurring cost. Miocon's leaders were also uncomfortable with the lack of visibility and control over their email.
LUNAR, a product development consulting firm with offices in California, Europe, and Hong Kong had a major spam problem despite having just 50 employees. Receiving as many as 160,000 spam messages in a day, the company initially invested in a small-business anti-spam appliance, but the solution required a significant amount of ongoing time and attention in training the system to determine what was good email and what was spam.
Today, small businesses like Miocon and LUNAR have a better option for dealing with spam and email threats: the Cisco Spam & Virus Blocker. The Cisco Spam & Virus Blocker is a dedicated anti-spam, anti-virus, and anti-phishing email security appliance that delivers extraordinary accuracy and ease of use, in a solution designed specifically for small businesses.
This case study details how these and other small businesses implemented and then benefited from this Cisco software.
