Sophos Anti-Virus, one of the world's leading developers of
corporate virus protection, and Cequrux Technologies, a premier
provider of security software for Internet, Intranet and Extranet
applications, have announced a strategic partnership for Cequrux to
resell and integrate Sophos Anti-Virus technology into its family
of security software solutions.
Cequrux's corporate customers will benefit from the ability to
integrate Sophos's best-of-breed, multi-platform anti-virus
protection into their security infrastructure. The Sophos
Anti-Virus Interface (SAVI) engine combines with Cequrux's own
firewall product to scan and disinfect email messages passing
through the firewall.
"We chose to partner with Sophos Anti-Virus because we know that
we can rely on the high detection rates, ease of integration,
outstanding stability of its technology, and the ability to update
over the Internet as new viruses are identified" said Graham
Wheeler from Cequrux. "As a Sophos Partner, we are fully supported
by a world class team of anti-virus experts across the globe.
Sophos's first-rate technology complements our own product
portfolio as we are both focused on the protection of corporate
customers."
"Cequrux's selection of Sophos Anti-Virus technology is a
ringing endorsement of the quality of our virus protection," said
Graham Cluley, head of corporate communications at Sophos. "We are
delighted to work more closely with such innovative partners as
Cequrux and have successfully tested SAVI working with the Cequrux
firewall against thousands of viruses"
Cequrux is the latest in a long line of software companies,
businesses, ISPs and ASPs choosing to integrate Sophos's powerful
virus-finding technology with their software and services. 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.
