Paul Smith is using ScanSafe Web Filtering, Web Virus Scanning and Spyware Screening services to protect its network from an increasing number of malware threats and to control use of the Internet by its employees.

“Since deploying ScanSafe's managed Web security services, we haven't had a single attack from malware or any other Web security threat to our network,” said Lee Bingham, manager, IT, Paul Smith.

“We get full protection from malware and unwanted content with zero latency. It's very reassuring to know that our network is being monitored 24/7 by a dedicated team of security specialists, allowing us to focus our IT resources on other projects.”

The Internet and Web-based applications are used extensively by various departments throughout Paul Smith for business-critical tasks including new product design, research, production, EDI processing, distribution and administration.

To date, ScanSafe has protected Paul Smith's corporate network rom more than 283 Web-based viruses. Additionally, ScanSafe blocks an average of 20,000 spyware and adware programs each month for Paul Smith and over 10,000 unwanted URLs, ensuring a safe and productive Internet environment.

“It's essential that employees have secure Internet access, particularly as more and more of Paul Smith's suppliers move over to Web-based business applications,” said Eldar Tuvey, co-founder and CEO, ScanSafe. “ScanSafe's proprietary heuristics technology – Outbreak Intelligence, immediately updates our Web classification database with new and existing websites that could pose a security risk to the network.”
