No place for Fishing and Spam, or How to ensure email security in a matter of hours. The case of Tavria V

It’s hard to imagine operations of a modern business without email exchange & email services. Every day, companies receive a lot of emails that need to be verified & processed. But along with emails comes the problem of spam and phishing, which not only burdens IT specialists but also poses security risks to the company. And often, standard security tools are no longer able to cope with the ever-growing threats. How did the Ukrainian supermarket chain Tavria V solve this problem?

A few years ago, Tavria V faced an increase in spam, phishing, and other malicious emails in its email infrastructure. This resulted in an increase in the workload of IT specialists and made it difficult for the company’s staff to keep up with the demand.

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 customization.

The testing and configuration of Cloudflare Area 1 services was supported by the authorized partner Consulting for Retail, which, together with the vendor, ensured quick implementation, training, configuration, and seamless transition to a productive environment in the shortest possible time. Thus, the total implementation time, including additional settings, was on average two hours.

After implementing Cloudflare Area 1, the retailer no longer worries about spam and phishing, as these threats are completely blocked. Employees no longer receive malicious emails, and the administration and setup of the service took minimal time, which significantly reduced the workload on the company’s IT department.

“For a company like Tavria V, email protection is a key aspect of building the company’s information security,” says IT Director of Tavria V Sergey Konkov. “We tested the top solutions in the segment, but they did not meet our needs either in terms of administration and configuration or performance. Implementation of Cloudflare Area 1 allowed us to ensure reliable protection of our corporate email and prevent potential cyber threats with minimal time and resources”.
