Case study: JANET(UK)

A total of 18 million users rely on JANET(UK), which manages one of Europe's largest computer networks, connecting UK universities, colleges and schools. When spam became a big problem for JANET employees, despite gateway filters, the company deployed Sophos Email Appliances, part of Email Security and Control. Not only has the spam problem now been drastically reduced, but the appliances have also freed up IT time and resources.
