Sunco ran all of its email through its own server, and utilized its own server-based applications to scan email traffic for spam and viruses which caused a number of problems. Increasing numbers of spam messages caused a severe performance drain on the server and as a result mobile users had difficulty accessing their accounts. Sometimes the whole system crashed due to the spam overload. The company also had a strict Internet use policy that was clear on paper, but difficult to enforce. Violators had to be caught in the act, and with one person, Scott Olsson, acting as the entire IT department, that was a challenge.

For years Sunco had been using Webroot® AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus to protect its desktops against malware. The solution proved to be highly effective at blocking viruses and spyware, but as the online threat environment evolved over time, endpoint protection alone was not enough. Sunco needed a more robust, multi-layered solution.

Olsson received an email from Webroot that featured the benefits of Webroot Web Security SaaS. Having found the Email Security solution to be so successful, he felt the new Web Security service might be the answer to simplify enforcement of Sunco's Internet use policy and protect against emerging web-based threats. Again he signed up for the free trial. Like with the Email service, he found the Web Security service to be just as easy to use and maintain.
