Cisco Email Security Case Study

The College at Old Westbury State University of New York

Introduction

This case study of The College at Old Westbury State University of New York is based on a February 2018 survey of Cisco Email Security customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“On an average day we receive around 412,000 email messages out of which 266,000 messages do not even make it to our SMTP engines because Talos blocks them based on their global threat intelligence. Only about 30,000 emails are clean. The solution is also strong because of its availability, maintenance and reporting. It helps us be proactive about phishing, spam, suspected spam, zero-day exploits and gives transparency at the SMTP gateway level. "
