For Immediate Release:
CiBan Teams with MX Logic to Deliver Advanced Email Defense Solution to Astor Chocolate
MARLBORO, NJ (April 19, 2004) - CiBan, a technology solutions provider for small- and medium-sized businesses, today announced it has been selected by Astor Chocolate Corporation to safeguard its network from unwanted junk email and malicious viruses. Leveraging MX Logic's email protection technology, CiBan provided Astor Chocolate with a multi-layered system to filter all incoming email for spam and viruses.
Based in Lakewood, NJ, Astor Chocolate is a family-owned manufacturer and retailer of premium chocolates. CiBan was chosen to develop a flexible email security and protection solution employing the MX Logic Email Defense Service. With this new solution, all email is scanned and processed through five different spam and virus filters for optimal effectiveness. The system includes spam blocking, virus scanning, and content and attachment filtering.
Email plays an integral role and is a very important channel of communication for Astor Chocolate. The company receives more than 60,000 emails a month, with 65 percent of them related to spam and viruses. Astor Chocolate's former anti-spam software offered limited protection and the influx of spam impacted employee productivity and cluttered their network. Additionally, the large volumes of spam messages took up valuable server and human resources, making their daily backups and management longer to process.
"Thanks to CiBan and MX Logic, we now have the capability to successfully filter and stop all our inbound email communications before they hit our enterprise," explained Arie Lax, Vice President of Technology, Astor Chocolate Corporation. "This helps us offload most of the heavy lifting to MX Logic and helps eliminate potential threats. The new system is transparent to our existing operations and has enabled us to improve our productivity and time management. This company has a slick, effective, well-built product with great reporting. The support we have been getting from both CiBan and MX Logic has been phenomenal."
