Credit Union immediately impressed with SpamTitans blocking abilities

The Challenge

• KSCF credit union is a high profile financial institution and therefore highly visible to both the public and spammers.
• With a computer network supporting 200 email users who were sending over 100,000 messages each month Kennedy Space Center needed an anti spam solution they could depend on. Having a small IT-department makes them an easy target for spammers and phishers.
• Although budget was limited safeguarding customer information was the top priority and couldn't be compromised.
• Spam affects businesses in several ways, as well as having the ability to hurt the reputation of your business you certainly do not want customers receiving junk or malware emails with your company’s name in the sender’s address bar.
• Spoofing email is very common and easy to do as it exploits a level of trust that the basic email protocols use.
• It is important for businesses to put safeguards in place, that’s exactly what Kennedy Space Center Credit union did when they implemented SpamTitan.
• The dangers of phishing attacks in the financial sector are widespread.  Financial organizations represent over 20% of phishing targets each year.
• As a non-profit organisation Kennedy did not have a large IT budget to spend on security or IT infrastructure. They therefore faced the  dilemma of needing a low cost solution that also provided top class security
