Jeyes
Jeyes manufactures, markets, sells and distributes household cleaning and hygiene products throughout the world in more than 60 countries. The IT team currently spends, on average, two to five hours per week fending off Internet threats but expects this time to dramatically fall, now it has implemented Network Box.
The biggest threat Jeyes faced was from malicious spam and email-borne viruses. Thirty percent of the 100,000 inbound emails each month was spam, the primary Internet threat to Jeyes; and around ten percent of all inbound emails contained a virus - a massive 10,000 virus-laden emails threatening the company's network every month.
For Jeyes, reducing the window of exposure - the period between a virus being released and a patch issued by anti-virus vendors - is one of the most important elements of the service because this is the time when businesses are most at risk. Says Martin Brookman, Systems Facilities Manager:
"As a small IT team, we wanted a solution that we didn't have to update ourselves because the window of vulnerability is dependent on how quickly we can download security patches. We needed something that would automatically push updates to us and protect our network from the latest Internet threats, including spyware, trojans and phishing."
