Aged Care Software Success Story
When Melbourne-based Aged Care Software Group was hit by more than seven and a half million spam emails in one day, crashing the ISP server and threatening to send them out of business, Managing Director Ken Wragg realized it was time for a drastic security overhaul.
"We were having all sorts of trouble with our email at that stage. We weren't getting any email through in the end," Mr Wragg says.
"There was one day we had over seven and a half million spam emails and it took down our ISP. If you're not getting your own email you're dead in the water. It was a matter of fix it or go out of business and we couldn't afford not to fix it."
Mr Wragg transformed the company's spam nightmare and improved its business prospects by installing a NetBox. With its unique pre-delivery filtering system, the NetBox blocks spam at the SMTP level. Spam isn't downloaded so it doesn't put pressure on the network.
"Everything is running like clockwork now," Mr Wragg says. "Implementing the NetBox is the greatest thing we've ever done."
