Case Study: Hospital Center Métropole Savoie (CHMS) achieves long-term protection against ransomware and phishing for 3,000 mailboxes with Vade Secure

The Hospital Center Métropole Savoie Secures 3,000 Email Boxes With Vade Secure

Hospital Center Métropole Savoie (CHMS), a major regional hospital with about 4,587 staff and nearly 3,000 email boxes (≈2,500 externally reachable), was overwhelmed by spam—at one point up to 80% of incoming mail—and faced rising threats from phishing, ransomware and other email-borne attacks. To secure its Microsoft Exchange environment and improve clinicians’ email experience, CHMS selected Vade Secure’s predictive email defense/filter solution.

Vade Secure deployed a physical appliance that runs behavioral analysis, graymail classification and one‑click unsubscribe features to clean mailboxes and block threats; the solution was implemented quickly and has evolved to address zero‑day, spear‑phishing and ransomware attacks. As a result, Vade Secure now protects CHMS’s ~3,000 mailboxes, eliminated the bulk of spam (previously up to 80%), and the hospital reports no successful phishing, malware or ransomware email breaches for nearly 10 years, improving user productivity and preserving the center’s reputation.
