Case Study: Phoenix Energy Systems achieves peace of mind and saves time with ThreatSTOP

Granting peace of mind, and saved time.

Phoenix Energy Systems, a Calgary-based energy marketing and consulting firm serving the Western Canadian oil and gas industry, wanted an extra layer of security for its small but distributed IT environment. CIO Carol Maffitt needed a way to improve protection, reduce tedious manual firewall management, and support compliance with Canada’s PIPEDA and Alberta’s PIPA, while using tools like a Juniper firewall and VPN for remote contractors.

ThreatSTOP implemented automated real-time IP reputation intelligence, aggregating threat feeds into one actionable block list and delivering continuous updates directly into Phoenix Energy’s firewall. The result was less manual work, clearer web-based reports for investigating attempted breaches, and more time for higher-value tasks; Carol said ThreatSTOP gave her peace of mind and saved time, with the team now checking reports only about twice a week.
