Monte Cassino School Provides Safe and Secure E-Mail for Students and Teachers with Symantec Hosted Mail Security

Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced that Monte Cassino School uses Symantec Hosted Mail Security to help provide a safe and secure online environment for the school’s students, teachers, and parents. With the combined protection of Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam, Symantec Hosted Mail Security makes e-mail and other online activities safe for use in connecting students, teachers, and parents for a rich and collaborative educational environment.

Monte Cassino School, based in Tulsa, Okalahoma, has been owned and operated by the Benedictine Sisters since 1926. The school instructs more than 1,000 students ranging from preschool through grade eight. To provide students with the highest quality education, Monte Cassino School relies on e-mail to facilitate communication across a community of 3,000 administrators, faculty, students, parents, and alumni.

Creating a Safe Working Environment for Students As part of the school’s mission to benefit from the wisdom of parent communication, e-mail has become the primary means for communication between teachers and parents. Parents can use e-mail to stay involved in their child’s education by keeping informed about school announcements, scheduling changes, student progress, and behavioral concerns.

To facilitate communication, e-mail addresses for the school’s 130 teachers are widely circulated and frequently posted on the Internet, making the addresses targets for spammers. On average the school receives 1,000 inbound e-mail messages per week, 40 percent of which are unwanted spam e-mails.
