Often, standard security measures are no longer able to cope with the ever-growing threats. How the Ukrainian supermarket chain Tavria V. solved this problem.
It is difficult to imagine modern business without modern means of communication, including the exchange of electronic messages and the use of e-mail services. Every day, companies' mailboxes receive many letters that need to be processed and verified. But along with emails comes the problem of spam and phishing, which not only burdens IT specialists, but also poses risks to the company’s security.
Some time ago, Tavria V was faced with an increase in the volume of spam, phishing and other malicious emails in its mail infrastructure. This led to an increase in the workload of IT specialists, and also complicated the work of the company’s personnel.
To minimize risks and improve information security, it was decided to implement the Cloudflare Area 1 service. This solution completely blocks spam and phishing, providing reliable protection for corporate email. The key advantage of the service is its ease of use and configuration.
Testing and configuration of Cloudflare Area 1 services took place with the support of an authorized partner – Consulting for Retail, which, together with the vendor, ensured rapid implementation, training, configuration and seamless transition to a productive environment in the shortest possible time. Thus, the total implementation time, including additional settings, averaged two hours.
After implementing Cloudflare Area 1, retailers no longer worry about spam and phishing as these threats are completely blocked. Employees no longer receive malicious emails, and administration and configuration of the service took minimal time, which significantly reduced the load on the company’s IT department.
“Mail protection for a company like Tavria V is a key aspect in building the company’s information security,” says Tavria V IT Director Sergei Konkov. – We tested the top solutions in the segment, but they did not meet our needs either in administration and configuration, or in effectiveness. The implementation of Cloudflare Area 1 allowed us to ensure reliable protection of our corporate email and prevent potential cyber threats with minimal investment of time and resources.”
