“The volume ofspam continues to escalate beyond belief, and companies of all sizes need effective and easy-to-use protection,” said Anne Bonaparte, president and CEO of MailFrontier. “Growing organizations like Tamalpais Bank are especially vulnerable to the impact of spam and other email attacks on employee productivity. MailFrontier enables these organizations to keep a step ahead of existing and emerging email threats.”

Tamalpais Bank was experiencing an increasing volume of spam—more than 73 percent of all incoming email. The bank places a high value on its customer service and the daily spam clean-up was impacting employee productivity. Based on its ease-of-use, effectiveness and ability to stay ahead of email threat developments, Tamalpais Bank implemented MailFrontier. After installation, the software provided immediate relief to the Monday morning spam clean up – stopping incoming spam.

“Spam became more than just an annoyance, it was a productivity issue for our organization,” said Erwin Martinez, chief information officer, for Tamalpais Bank. “We tried keyword filtering, but it was ineffective and time consuming. Installing MailFrontier was easy and effective. Now people stop me in the office to say ‘hey, this is great, I don’t get spam anymore’.”

MailFrontier Gateway Server guards the perimeter of Tamalpais Bank’s corporate network, stopping spam and phishing emails before they reach internal systems. MailFrontier blocks virtually all spam, and quarantines phishing email uniquely, keeping Tamalpais Bank ahead of emerging email risks. In just minutes a week, the self-managing and self-running application integrated easily with the bank’s existing infrastructure to scale and protect at all times. According to Jim Swanson, information systems manager for Tamalpais Bank, “MailFrontier’s software didn’t take very long to install. I put in the CD and ‘poof’ we were protected. Maintenance is easy too—it essentially runs on its own.”
