Sophos opens Sydney anti-virus lab
Sophos Anti-Virus, the world's leading developer of corporate
anti-virus software, has opened a major anti-virus research
facility in Sydney, Australia.
The Sophos Anti-Virus Research Laboratory Asia-Pacific, along
with the facility at Sophos Headquarters near Oxford, in the UK, is
playing a key role in the company's co-ordinated global battle
against malicious virus writers.
"The Sydney virus research facility is now playing a vital role
in Sophos's 24-hour responsiveness", said Richard Baldry, Managing
Director of Sophos Australia. "It will become increasingly
important in supporting our customers in Australia, New Zealand and
South-East Asia."
"While the Sydney research lab is analysing viruses from our
Asian-Pacific customer base, it is also working closely with
Sophos's head-office facility to allow us to offer the very highest
level of service to all of our users", said Dr Jan Hruska, CEO of
Sophos Anti-Virus, who officially opened the new facility.
