Svenska Kraftnät is the Swedish National Grid, a state utility that controls the entire electricity and natural gas power supply for the country. Energy producers from surrounding countries load power onto the Swedish National Grid's network, with energy suppliers then paying the Swedish National Grid to load onto their grids for them to sell-on to customers.
Svenska Kraftnät found that Clearswift's Email Appliance enabled them to put in place intelligent email policies that allow the free exchange of information and critically do not delay the delivery time of emails. It has greatly reduced the amount of time they need to dedicate to resolving issues as it allows them to easily track down where a problem lies and why it has occurred. They have also seen an increase in efficiency as limited resource is needed to manage the solution. It has its own operating system so updates can be downloaded and the solution just gets on with it.
Svenska Kraftnät now has an email system that is highly effective and fully resilient. The anti-spam and anti-malware deal with any obvious network based threats, while the content-aware MIMEsweeper policy and content inspection engine checks for any security risks from in-bound and out-bound email messages. When communicating with energy producers in the northern trading region through their trading system, which uses SMTP protocol, Clearswift's MIMEsweeper for SMTP ensures that they have the highest degree of email information security.
