Armstrong Teasdale LLP Squashes Spyware, Ensures Network Bandwidth with Cymtec Systems

January 21, 2008

St. Louis, MO – January 21, 2008 – Cymtec Systems, Inc. announced that leading law firm Armstrong Teasdale LLP is using Cymtec Sentry® to eliminate spyware, improve the way its IT team works, and ensure bandwidth for a positive customer and end user experience.

 

Armstrong Teasdale LLP delivers sophisticated legal advice and exceptional client service. With close to 300 attorneys practicing in more than a dozen locations, the firm serves a dynamic national and international client base in virtually every area of law. Whether an issue is local or global, practice area specific or industry related, Armstrong Teasdale provides each client with an invaluable combination of legal resources and practical advice.

“Since Cymtec Sentry, the amount of time spent on spyware issues has dropped from 35 percent to an afterthought,” explained Tim Pyatt, Armstrong Teasdale LLP’s IT Director. “Cymtec Sentry lets us effectively support more offices and users and do more with less.”

 

Pyatt said that spyware was the single biggest issue that led Armstrong Teasdale LLP to Cymtec Sentry. “Previous software-based solutions weren’t good enough. In a firm where locations are growing faster than IT staff, other approaches were too time and resource intensive. When we plugged in Cymtec Sentry we immediately started getting reports of infections and IP addresses of computers we had to clean up. It pointed out dozens of computers that were infected and trying to infect other computers.”

Since deployment, Cymtec Systems continues to add product functions which keep raising Cymtec Sentry’s value.

 

Pyatt said that they have not seen a single example of spyware spreading from one computer to others in their network since deploying Cymtec Sentry. Before Cymtec Sentry, because of the nature of spyware, when one computer was infected, it propagated to other computers. That is no longer an issue, because Cymtec Sentry keeps definitions up to date.

 

Armstrong Teasdale LLP has seen network performance improve on a number of levels with Cymtec Sentry. The firm also uses the product to identify and block websites and content that slow bandwidth. Pyatt explained that email is the most important service they provide, so bandwidth issues affect the performance of the entire firm. Cymtec Sentry makes it easier to keep customers productive and happy.

 

“Cymtec Sentry stays ahead of the curve for us. Choosing Cymtec Sentry was one of the biggest wins that we’ve had in IT in years,” Pyatt concluded.

Andrew S. Rubin, President and CEO of Cymtec Systems, said, “We’re grateful that a leading law firm like Armstrong Teasdale LLP has adopted Cymtec Sentry as their go-to network security and performance management solution.”
