Case Study: NonLinear Tech rapidly remediates a spam botnet with ThreatSTOP

NonLinear Tech - Customer Case Study

NonLinear Tech, an IT consulting firm serving SMB customers in Western Michigan, needed a fast way to stop a spam botnet that was causing a client’s email to be blocked and the company to be blacklisted. After evaluating several vendors, NonLinear chose ThreatSTOP because it could be deployed quickly to identify infected hosts and block communication with malicious IP addresses.

Using ThreatSTOP’s IP reputation solution, NonLinear rapidly contained the botnet, remediated the infection in under a day, and did so without any new hardware or software. The solution now blocks 200–300 attacks per month, while also helping protect the customer against viruses, zero-day exploits, and criminal malware.
