Sophos Anti-Virus, one of the world's leading developers of
corporate anti-virus solutions, and Mailgate Plc, a premier
provider of Internet access and mail server products, today
announced that K-International has chosen their solutions to
protect themselves from virus attack.
K-International, one of the UK's largest translation agencies,
has adopted the Sophos Anti-Virus product in conjunction with
Mailgate's mail server to scan documents as they travel between
translators and clients based around the world and the company's
headquarters. K-International's mail servers transmit large volumes
of email and documents in the form of file attachments in more than
100 languages.
"Working with people from around the world means that we rely
heavily on email. Reliable and up-to-date anti-virus protection is
therefore essential," said Dave Brooks, IT Manager at
K-International. "We have found MailGate and Sophos Anti-Virus fit
together excellently to provide a simple to configure yet powerful
solution to the virus threat facing businesses today."
The MailGate mail server first passes any file attachment to the
SAVI (Sophos Anti-Virus Interface) detection engine. SAVI then
checks all incoming, outgoing and internal mail, including
attachments compressed with ZIP, ARJ etc, enabling MailGate to
forward only clean mail. Suspect mail is disinfected and
quarantined and both the mailbox users and system administrator
notified.
