Leading Telecommunications Provider Benefits from Cisco IronPort
Email Security
Email Security
Overview
As a leading telecommunications provider, Russia’s TransTeleCom
Company CJSC (TTK) has grown dramatically since its 1997 launch.
Today, it serves an area that is home to roughly 90 percent of the
country’s population. The volume of its customer usage continues to
country’s population. The volume of its customer usage continues to
expand, including a three-fold increase in annual Internet traffic. To
sustain its productivity, customer satisfaction and continued growth, the
organization needed an email security solution that would deliver a
comprehensive defense against the rising tide of spam and viruses.
The Situation
TTK’s previous email security solution proved unequal to the task of
defending against an increasingly complex email threat environment.
The system frequently delivered false positives, delayed email
transmissions, and required constant management intervention. After a
comprehensive search for a better solution, the company turned to
Cisco
®
and selected the Cisco IronPort
®
C-Series Email Security
Appliance to meet its growing requirements.
Technical Challenges
TTK wanted a single-source solution to address an increasingly dangerous array of email-based threats. The
organization required a system able to support multiple, independent clients from one easily administered platform. It
sought a solution with the ability to consistently detect spam embedded in graphics and in Russian language
messages, as well as the capacity to quarantine suspicious messages without disrupting its network. Further, the
company needed a tool that was easily integrated with third-party, antivirus software. TTK wanted all of this in a
scalable, easy-to-manage product that would require minimal oversight from personnel and would not disrupt the
normal flow of email traffic.
