Celtic updates security system

Scottish Celtic is using a system provided by Dns and Postini to revamp its security systems to obstruct threats before it hits the corporate network.

The system places security defences between the Internet and the corporate network, and Dns has built the Postini e-mail scanning engine into its system.

David Howell, IT manager for Celtic said the risk of a threatening environment made managing in-house security too complicated and risky.

"The Postini scanning engine offers a very clear interface and we now have access to more information in real time," Howell said. "The transition was completely painless, and thanks to Dns, we are secure in the knowledge that our network is safe from spam and virus attacks."

The Pass Thru technology only lets legitimate traffic through to the network, avoiding heavy bandwidth consumption and preventing costly distributed denial of service attacks.

All incoming messages are routed through secure data centres and scanned by a rules engine that analyses each part of every message before it reaches the recipient, with virtually no delay.
