The Organization
Meadowbrook Inventions
Established in 1934, Meadowbrook Inventions, Inc. is the world's
leading manufacturer and supplier of glitter. Precision cutting expertise,
large-volume capacity and strong customer loyalty have kept
Meadowbrook Inventions number one in glitter production and sales for
more than 50 years. A closely held family business, Meadowbrook has
developed a legacy of innovation, manufacturing efficiency and caring
customer service.
The Challenge
In 2001, Meadowbrook had an outdated IBM network security appliancea
model which was being discontinued. The company began its search
for a firewall solution that would provide additional network security
services, including e-mail protection against spam and viruses.
The eSoft Solution
eSoft provided Meadowbrook with one of its award-winning InstaGate
Integrated Security Gateways, the industry's leading all-in-one server
and security appliance. The InstaGate provides real-time security
against today's dynamic security threats such as Spyware, Phishing and
Viruses, allows secure connectivity to remote users/offices through
hardened IPSec VPN, and integrates high-performance servers for
Email, Webmail, Internet, Intranet, File, Print, DNS and FTP.
Benefits
- Meadowbrook is protected against viruses and other Internet-borne
threats, so employees can focus on business rather than spending time
dealing with and fighting viruses.
- With sales from around the world, Meadowbrook's confidential
customer information is safe from hackers.
- InstaGate virtually takes care of itself, with regular, automatic software
and firmware updates, saving IT personnel time and easing administration
burdens.
