Scottish Building Society (SBS) focuses on careful management of
members' savings and borrowings and has maintained its reputation
for trust while many other financial organisations have struggled
during the recent economic turmoil.
SBS operates the same policy towards protecting its customers
and staff online, and credits iomartcloud's award-winning
Netintelligence email filtering for turning its IT network into a
spam-free zone. iomartcloud is one of the UK's leading suppliers of
business critical hosted cloud services and part of cloud computing
company iomart Group plc.
"We have generations of families who rely on us to safeguard
their finances and this is our number one priority," says
Gerry Kay, Chief Executive of the
Scottish Building Society. "We could not hope to achieve this
without robust and efficient email management to protect our IT
network and we see this as an integral part of our customer service
offering.
"In these days of financial turmoil, the Scottish Building
Society is continuing to perform well, offering members a range of
high quality financial services. Much of that is down to
the trust, affinity and loyalty we have from our 40,000
members."
At times SBS traffic has reached 100,000 emails a month.
Eighty per cent of email received is spam and with the benefit of a
tailored filtering service from iomartcloud, that spam has been
relegated from staff inboxes to their quarantine folders.
Gerry Kay adds, "Netintelligence
as a solution provides the Society with strong defences against
unwanted, destructive and illegal email content and attachments
which could otherwise let vulnerabilities into the network."
Bill Strain, director of
iomartcloud, says, "We work with all our clients to tailor the
service to their email requirements. We help businesses reduce
their risks and liabilities so all the user data is held securely
in our ISO 27001 and 9001 certified data centers. This complete and
unified threat protection is delivered simply and effectively
through an easy-to-use web accessed control panel."
