Case Study: City of St. Marys achieves reduced malware rebuilds and simplified security management with VIPRE

VIPRE Transforms Security Management in Coastal Georgia City

The City of St. Marys, a coastal Georgia municipality with a two-person IT team, was spending about 40 hours a week rebuilding six to eight malware-infected computers and struggling with a hodgepodge of antivirus, anti‑spam and management tools that offered no central dashboard. After evaluating eight vendors and pilot-testing three solutions, the city selected VIPRE (ThreatTrack Security)’s VIPRE Business Premium for its performance, affordability, Active Directory integration and centralized management.

VIPRE was deployed quickly and integrated with Active Directory, providing a single console, automated protection (Active Protection), web/content filtering, reporting and patch management. As a result, the City of St. Marys dramatically reduced malware rebuilds, reclaimed much of the roughly 40 hours per week previously spent on rework, improved user productivity, and produced audit-ready security reports—demonstrating a simpler, stronger security posture thanks to VIPRE.
