Cisco Provides Analysis and Management for a Leading Financial 
Institution 

Serving 450,000 members, EBS Building Society provides a 

comprehensive range of financial services, including mortgages, 

savings and investments, pensions, personal loans, credit cards and 

insurance. The Dublin-based organization operates through a network 

of offices across Ireland. 

EBS places a premium on the trust it has earned through its many 
years in business. It has also been recognized as one of Ireland’s top 

places to work. With an eye on sustaining its market appeal and the 

loyalty of its more than 600 employees, the company turned to Cisco

®

 

to provide it with robust protection against a rising tide of illicit images 

and content. 

With a trusted brand built on a long history of providing quality products 
and service, EBS Building Society is one of Ireland’s most respected 

financial organizations. However, in recent years, the email-based 

proliferation of illicit images posed a serious threat to its hard-earned market stature as well as the safety and security 

of its employees and members. Based on its satisfaction with its existing Cisco IronPort

®

 C-Series Email Security 

Appliance, the organization looked to Cisco for a new means to combat these increasingly complex threats. 

With roughly 1200 users on its system, EBS realized that manual detection of suspect images was an unsustainable 

task given the drain on productivity and probability of human error (which continually posed the risk of allowing 

inappropriate content to infiltrate its network). The company needed a more efficient means to analyze the threats 

posed by external users who create, upload, and share inappropriate images. Employers are required to provide a 

safe work environment for their employees, and block message content that can compromise their brand identity or 

reputation in the market. With that in mind, EBS sought a powerful resource that would accurately identify 

inappropriate content at the gateway, and maintain it in quarantine until its risk could be evaluated. After a rigorous 

two-month trial, EBS selected Cisco IronPort Image Analysis (Figure 1).
