Case Study: Porsche achieves virtually spam-free email and reduced IT costs with MailGuard

Porsche uncompromising in quality, innovation and security

Porsche Australia was struggling with a self‑managed email security setup that had become increasingly time‑consuming and risky. After running in‑house anti‑spam and anti‑virus software since 2002, the IT team feared missing critical updates (one lapse previously caused a two‑hour outage), faced growing spam, rising storage and traffic costs, and the risk of email‑borne viruses infecting customers and partners — so they engaged MailGuard for a managed email security solution.

MailGuard implemented a managed anti‑spam and anti‑virus service that filters every email in and out of the Porsche network and updates threat definitions in real time. The solution was easy to deploy (benefits seen within one day), made spam “virtually negligible,” freed IT to focus on projects, and provided weekly/monthly reporting; Porsche reports one‑third less storage disk usage and reduced network traffic and data communications costs as measurable impacts.
