WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WGRD), the leading provider of network security solutions, today announced the successful deployment of its Firebox X1000 and Firebox X5 appliances to secure Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery’s (KMSPKS) web and email servers.
KMSPKS (pictured) is the largest Buddhist temple in Singapore. It has over 160 staff and operates two student care centres, a Saturday and Sunday school and a Youth Ministry.
To improve its network performance, increase efficiency and reduce costs, the monastery wanted to host its four web and email servers by itself and needed a solution that would effectively secure its Internet users in various locations.
“Today, the Internet touches all parts of society – even the holiest of places,” said Jeff Hurmuses, Managing Director, Asia Pacific for WatchGuard. “Security threats and remote access challenges are the same whether you are an MNC or a monastery. We are very proud that we have been able to provide KMSPKS with the market’s most flexible, scalable and cost effective security solution.”
KMSPKS now experiences an estimated 80% less viruses, spam, and spyware attacks. The monastery can also monitor and manage all traffic in and out of the Internet to increase efficiency and lower costs. It has also seen a 30% improvement in bandwidth performance.
