Elron to integrate Sophos Anti-Virus technology into its
security solutions
Sophos, Europe's leading anti-virus developer, and Elron
Software, a leading internet content management developer, today
announced a strategic partnership which will provide computer users
with the world's most powerful virus protection by seamlessly
integrating Sophos Anti-Virus technology into Elron's family of
Internet Policy Management solutions.
Working with Elron's Message Inspector product, Sophos
Anti-Virus software will provide customers with world class
protection from internet-borne viruses and malicious code.
"We selected Sophos Anti-Virus technology for this partnership
because of its high detection rates, ease of integration, and
outstanding stability," said Pat Dunne, General Manager for Elron
Software, Europe. "This partnership provides customers worldwide
with an integrated solution for ensuring e-business and email
security."
Elron's Message Inspector product analyses, manages, and, if
necessary, blocks or redirects company communications made through
email, newsgroup and FTP sites. Sophos Anti-Virus complements
Message Inspector's capabilities to provide a complete gateway
solution for email content filtering and virus protection.
"Recent virus outbreaks underline the importance of first class
protection," said Graham Cluley, head of corporate communications
for Sophos Anti-Virus. "We are delighted to partner with Elron
Software and to bring comprehensive virus protection to an even
wider audience."
Using Sophos Anti-Virus
Interface (SAVI) technology, third party vendors and service
providers can combine Sophos's anti-virus capabilities with
firewalls, email servers, encryption devices and other
security-related devices.
