Case Study: Thumbs Up (Bury) Ltd eliminates email-borne viruses and spam with Censornet Email Security

Thumbs Up (Bury) Ltd - Customer Case Study

Thumbs Up (Bury) Ltd, a UK manufacturer of plastic housewares, was hit by the Zeus Trojan and continued to suffer email-borne viruses and email downtime even after migrating to Microsoft Exchange. Facing around six weeks of disruption (and related fraud attempts via hijacked phone lines), the company engaged CensorNet and its cloud-based Email Security to address the persistent email threats.

CensorNet deployed its cloud Email Security service to scan inbound and outbound mail, apply customizable rules and filter viruses, phishing and spam before delivery to the local Exchange server. After implementation CensorNet eliminated spam and junk mail, stopped recurring email-borne virus incidents and restored reliable email operations — the IT manager reported “no spam and no junk mail at all,” demonstrating a clear, measurable improvement in security and uptime.
