Case Study: Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota achieves cost-effective email protection and phishing defense with VIPRE ATP

Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota Closes Email Security Gap with Cost-Effective VIPRE ATP

Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, a private nonprofit university serving some 5,548 students, was experiencing daily spam, spoofing and security breaches involving credit card and Social Security numbers despite using Google G Suite for Education. After testing G Suite’s built-in tools and finding them insufficient (and Enterprise upgrades too costly), Saint Mary’s selected VIPRE Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) to close its email security gap without breaking the budget.

VIPRE deployed its Email Security Cloud and VIPRE ATP features—including machine-learning sandboxing for attachments, click-time URL re-scanning, customizable filtering/routing rules, and continuity protection—giving Saint Mary’s real-time layered email defense. As a result, VIPRE has cut down on spam and phishing (including spoofed messages to the president), enabled admins to block transmission of Social Security and credit card numbers, and delivered improved logging and visibility, effectively filling the university’s email security gap.
