Take back control of your network

A few years ago, Wall Street firms were rocked by scandal when internal emails from their analysts went public denouncing the very stocks they were praising in the press. The most famous was the “This stock is a dog” quote from Henry Blodget. SurfControl’s email filtering product would have prevented this from happening and they knew it was an ideal opportunity to increase sales if they could break through the clutter and reach the CIO’s of these firms. Our solution was a dimensional box, with a very clear message....either you secure your network now or your CEO could be secured in handcuffs some day soon. The response was overwhelming.
