Berlin – March 16, 2010. Integrated materials and technology group ThyssenKrupp keeps its e-mail communication secure with eXpurgate Managed Services from leading German e-mail security provider eleven. eleven protects ThyssenKrupp’s 84,500 mailboxes against spam and overloads, makes sure that business-relevant e-mails can be sent at all times, and checks even outgoing e-mail traffic for spam and malware.

By outsourcing its e-mail security to the experts of eleven, ThyssenKrupp protects its e-mail infrastructure by fending off threats before they reach the corporate networks. For example, the company employs mostly the reject mode, which makes it possible to keep out spam already during the SMTP dialog, i.e. before the e-mail is actually accepted. eleven uses this method to stop the flood of spam, which on average accounts for more than 85 percent of all e-mail traffic to ThyssenKrupp. The solution features a spam detection rate which exceeds 99 percent and virtually eliminates false positives for business-relevant e-mail (“Zero False Positives®”).

eXpurgate Managed Service makes sure that business-related e-mail communication remains functional even when the volume reaches extreme levels, for example during spam waves or denial-of-service attacks. By using its mail relay function, eleven also checks ThyssenKrupp’s outgoing e-mail traffic to prevent corporate computers from being misused as spam distribution points. In addition, the TLS option selected by ThyssenKrupp provides e-mail encryption capabilities for communicating with selected parties.

“eXpurgate Managed Service from eleven is a highly professional e-mail security solution that provides reliable protection for our entire e-mail infrastructure. The solution also makes us more cost-effective, because we no longer have to constantly expand our e-mail infrastructure in order to be able to tackle the rising spam volume. With eXpurgate we can rest assured that we can communicate via e-mail at all times,” says department head Dr. Peter Davids.
