With its headquarters in Regensburg, the municipal healthcare company medbo has an additional seven other locations where they operate hospitals, day and outpatient clinics, healthcare centers, and nursing home facilities that focus on psychiatry, psychotherapy, and neurology. Three university hospitals also belong to the organization, as do numerous nursing schools and one of the largest educational institutes in the German healthcare sector.<\/p>\r\n

Initially for cost reasons and then also for data protection reasons, medbo wanted to replace its email security solution from a provider in the United States. Its central Exchange system, which medbo operates on\u2011premises for compliance reasons, had to be secured. Most of medbo's sites are connected to the Internet via fiber optic broadband.\r\n<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.17.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_4,1_2,1_4\" use_custom_gutter=\"on\" make_equal=\"on\" admin_label=\"Row\" module_id=\"objective\" module_class=\"cc-fax\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"100%\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" custom_margin_tablet=\"||||false|false\" custom_margin_phone=\"||||false|false\" custom_margin_last_edited=\"on|phone\" custom_padding=\"50px||||false|false\" locked=\"off\" collapsed=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Objective\" _builder_version=\"4.23.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" module_alignment=\"right\" custom_margin=\"||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]Objective<\/span>\r\n

Medbo chose Retarus to ensure its email is secure for a number of reasons. These include Retarus' provisioning of services from its own, auditable data centers in Germany, its in\u2011house development of important core functions, as well as its 24\/7 support \u2014 provided by its own employees \u2014 which achieves an excellent first call resolution rate.<\/p>\r\n

The company was also impressed by the fact that even with thorough security checks, email messages are delivered without any noticeable delay. Not to mention, the self-service portals and online quarantine are simple to use and intuitive for administrators and end users. The latter in particular significantly reduces the workload for medbo IT support, as employees can process many issues independently. When it comes to sending sensitive data via encrypted email\u00a0\u2014 something that is often crucial in the healthcare sector\u00a0\u2014 Retarus impressed: they support all common standards (S\/MIME, PGP, OpenPGP, TLS) and offer a browser-based Secure Webmailer for recipients without their own encryption capabilities.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.17.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"Quote\" module_class=\"cc-seccomp ret_padding_80-0 ret_bg_darkblue\" _builder_version=\"4.23.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_enable_color=\"off\" background_enable_image=\"off\" locked=\"off\" collapsed=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.18.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Quote\" _builder_version=\"4.23.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" text_orientation=\"center\" background_layout=\"dark\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]

Initially, medbo used only the basic functions offered by Retarus Email Security<\/strong>, such as spam and malware protection, and then added more modules over the years. Now, for example, medbo relies on ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) features such as Time-of-Click Protection (URL rewriting) or CxO\u00a0Fraud Detection for checking suspicious file attachments. It\u00a0also uses Retarus WebExpress<\/strong> for emergency communication via\u00a0SMS.<\/p>\r\n

When communicating with its various partners, medbo uses mandatory transport encryption if required (enforced TLS). J\u00fcrgen Schmalzbauer, Data Center Manager at medbo, also praises Retarus for how simple it is to create new mailboxes and functional mailboxes as well as to quickly and easily block attachments which have been newly classified as malicious, based on the file type.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.17.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text disabled_on=\"off|off|off\" admin_label=\"Services\" module_class=\"ret_wider\" _builder_version=\"4.23.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#44546a\" background_layout=\"dark\" max_width_tablet=\"50%\" max_width_phone=\"100%\" max_width_last_edited=\"on|tablet\" module_alignment=\"right\" custom_margin=\"43px||||false|false\" custom_margin_tablet=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_margin_phone=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_margin_last_edited=\"on|tablet\" custom_padding=\"30px|30px|7px|30px|false|false\" module_alignment_tablet=\"left\" module_alignment_phone=\"left\" module_alignment_last_edited=\"on|phone\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]
