Witor’s is an award-winning Italian chocolatier and a member of the wider Benetton family. The company, which exports to over 80 countries, has a turnover of €123m.
Witor’s has been using Libraesva Email Security since 2023. The tool proved to be such a robust defender of email security and so easy to use, Witor’s IT team extended protection to include Email Archiver, followed by LetsDMARC in 2024.
The company now enjoys the peace of mind that comes with wraparound email security. Witor’s has a suite of “complete, stable products that are constantly maintained with updates to improve usability and functionality”. The package keeps imposters and email-borne threats at bay, while maintaining a fully accessible trail of historic emails.
Email security that proved itself
Witor’s has been making chocolate since 1959. An early breakthrough was the creation in 1962 of the famous Boero, a combination of dark chocolate, liqueur, and cherries. Despite numerous later innovations, the Boero remains a standout product in a crowded international market. In 2022, 21 Invest, the private investment firm founded by Alessandro Benetton, bought Witor’s. The aim was to modernize the brand and build on its global ambitions.
The company now employs 290 people and exports to more than 80 countries. Witor’s forward-thinking approach extends to cybersecurity. In 2023, the company adopted Libraesva Email Security.
“Libraesva has proven its ability to provide robust protection against evolving email-borne cyber threats. It provides us with excellent security in an extremely userfriendly package.”

Alessio Tarantino, Senior IT Specialist at Witor’s explains: “We were already using Libraesva Email Security when I joined the company. Libraesva has proven its ability to provide robust protection against evolving email-borne cyber threats. It provides us with excellent security in an extremely user-friendly package.
A subsequent migration to the latest version of Libraesva Email Security is an example of how effortlessly things run.
“With the help of the Libraesva support team,” says Alessio, “we enjoyed a trouble-free migration from our previous version to the latest release of Libraesva Email Security. The whole thing was quick and had zero impact on the flow of emails.”
Upgrading to wraparound email security
Witor’s was so pleased with Libraesva’s long-term performance and support, the IT team added Email Archiver in 2023 and LetsDMARC in 2024. Both products were as easy to implement as Email Security.
“The on-premises implementation of Email Archiver was fast, simple, and straightforward,” says Alessio. “The Libraesva team understood all our requirements, and completed the configuration quickly and flawlessly. It was the same with LetsDMARC. Their support team helped us setup LetsDMARC to identify and authenticate our legitimate email sources, and configure DMARC to prevent fraudulent emails and domain spoofing.”
Email Archiving has been good for Witor’s. It gives them a complete, unalterable record of every email sent and received, providing a searchable and secure history of what happened. This digitally signed email archive provides legally acceptable evidence to help prove compliance or to show who said what – and when – in the event of a dispute. Email archiving also allowed the IT team to remove dozens of .pst files held locally on users’ PCs, while providing automatic management to prevent mailboxes reaching M365’s 50GB limit. Users are particularly delighted with the instant search feature that finds any email, no matter how old.
LetsDMARC was a revelation too.
“When we implemented LetsDMARC,” says Alessio, “we discovered unexpected DNS configuration issues relating to DKIM and DMARC. That was helpful because, now, all emails sent from our shop and from other systems are fully DMARC-compliant.”
“Technical support is fast, and the team is always ready to provide clarification where needed. Thanks to Libraesva, our email system is managed securely and efficiently.”
