“We were receiving 31 million emails a month and from these, approximately 30 million emails were spam.”

The seemingly insurmountable challenge of dramatically reducing spam and freeing up technology resources to focus on core business priorities was what Larry Jones, IT Network Administrator at Greeneville City School System needed to solve. After implementing Proofpoint’s protection and privacy solutions, Greeneville experienced a 96 percent reduction in spam, which saved approximately three hours each day in manually trawling emails for possible spam or other security threats.

Located in Tennessee, the Greeneville City School System consists of four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, serving approximately 2,750 students. The system also serves as the fiscal agent for the Greene Technology Center, which provides technology education classes for students in all county high schools.
