Atreus Systems Selects Engate Technology for Preemptive, Connection-level Anti-Spam Security

Nov. 14, 2007 - PRLog -- According to Lawrence Chiabai, head of IT at Atreus Systems, the company’s former anti-spam solution catch rates decreased to 70% with high incidences of false positives as new threats such as image spam, pdf spam, phish and botnet attacks began to overwhelm employee’s inboxes. The increasing volume of spam was slowing Atreus’ network traffic, wasting storage space, and straining IT resources as they were constantly being diverted to manage their spam and false positive issues.

“We chose Engate for their proven ability to permanently stop the high volume of new and progressive email threats that were consuming our network and IT resources,” said Lawrence Chiabai, IT manager at Atreus Systems. "Engate eliminated 99% of our spam problem from day one with no false positives. Engate’s unique ability to proactively stop the surge of threats like image spam, phish and botnet attacks before they reach our corporate email servers has delivered new cost savings in bandwidth and storage, as well as, improved efficiencies in throughput and latency.”

“As experts in enterprise-class email security, we understand how important a scalable and reliable messaging infrastructure is to a growing enterprise like Atreus,” said Al Powell, vice president Sales for Engate. "Atreus is a great validation of how Engate’s network-level anti-spam solution can provide permanent protection for enterprises inundated with large volumes of spam. With our unique network profiling functionality, Engate is able to detect botnets the instant they appear and preemptively stop all varieties of email threats and dangerous attachments before they enter Atreus’ network.”
