WWF selects Sophos Anti-Virus to protect UK networks
Sophos, a world leader in corporate anti-virus protection,
announced today that it has been chosen by WWF, the world's largest
and most respected independent conservation organisation, to
provide protection against computer viruses. WWF will install
Sophos Anti-Virus protection in 16 offices across the UK; including
its UK headquarters in Godalming and national offices in Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland.
WWF, the global environment network, requires high-quality
anti-virus protection as it relies on information stored on
computer networks linking 50 WWF national organisations across five
continents. WWF databases, which have been built up since its
foundation in 1961, include members' details and information about
endangered species. It is extremely important to the work of WWF
that this information is protected from corruption, destruction or
unauthorised disclosure.
"Computers are absolutely crucial to our work," said David
Southern, Head of IT at WWF. "Because we communicate with so many
people across the globe, we need extremely robust protection in our
UK offices. Sophos fulfils this need and also provides support
which is second to none."
Sophos remains the only independent anti-virus software vendor
that focuses on supplying high quality software and support 24
hours a day to corporate customers. Over 65% of the top 100
companies in the FT500 listing use Sophos Anti-Virus, demonstrating
the high level of trust that large corporations place in the
company.
