Case Study: EPCOS achieves hassle-free, effective spam protection with Hornetsecurity Managed Spamfilter Service

EPCOS - Customer Case Study

EPCOS, a global manufacturer of electronic components with about 26,300 employees, was facing a persistent spam problem—internal consultant Andreas Kammerer reports that 100–120 unwanted advertising emails routinely passed their previous filter into inboxes. Needing to avoid day‑to‑day spam management so their ITL infrastructure team could focus on strategic projects, EPCOS engaged Hornetsecurity and its Managed Spamfilter Service (with related Email Encryption and ATP services listed in the case facts).

Hornetsecurity delivered a SaaS managed spam filter (no onsite appliance or hardware for ~8,000 mailboxes), handling updates and maintenance and going live in April 2009. The implementation was smooth and fast, greatly reducing the volume of unwanted emails reaching users and cutting the time EPCOS spent on whitelist and classification work; the company also cites prompt, helpful support from Hornetsecurity staff.
