Security vendor Sophos has introduced Enterprise Solutions to its Middle East product portfolio in a bid to target a broader range of customers.
Sophos, Enterprise Solutions offers gateway, server and endpoint protection and Genotype detection technology. This is a method of using forensic analysis to identify suspicious patterns and characteristics that are unique to either a virus family or a spam campaign. By analysing these genotype patterns, Sophos can reduce exposure to new unidentified threats and unwanted content.
The Sophos products also incorporate architecture to address the security needs of medium-to-large enterprises, which inevitably have complex IT infrastructures. Sophos’s easy-to-use management tools integrate updating and reporting tasks, removing much of the existing administration costs.
“Sophos Enterprise Solutions will give medium and large organisations even more sophisticated protection from viruses, spam and malicious spyware. Sophos’s multi-tier, cross-platform software is now tightly integrated with powerful, intuitive management and updating tools,” says Mohammad Noraiee, managing director at Al Adeeb IT in Abu Dhabi.
Sophos says IT administrators benefit from a range of features including central deployment, enforceable network-wide anti-virus policies and powerful integrated reporting. With the ability to manage by exception, IT administrators can also identify those computers with non-existent or outdated protection, remedying potential vulnerabilities quickly and easily. To help businesses meet the increasing need to manage security for their remote users, Sophos has designed Enterprise Console with a built-in database system to centrally track and report the status of these machines.
