Sophos, a world leader in corporate anti-virus protection, has
announced today that its software has been selected by IP Engine, a
developer of innovative email services. IP Engine has chosen to use
Sophos's technology as the anti-virus component of its Mail Warden
solution.
The Sophos virus engine will form an integral part of the
complete email protection system offered by Mail Warden. The
service will provide anti-virus protection, innovative anti-spam,
smart content and attachment filtering.
"Sophos Anti-Virus combines excellent detection rates and ease
of integration with outstanding reliability, making it the obvious
choice for the Mail Warden products," said Brian Philipson,
Managing Director of IP Engine. "This partnership will allow us to
deliver superior anti-virus protection as part of a complete
security service."
"Recent virus incidents are evidence that the threat posed by
computer viruses is still a substantial one," said Graham Cluley,
senior technology consultant for Sophos Anti-Virus. "Mounting a
defence at the internet level forms a significant part of any
security strategy and we are delighted that our technology has been
selected to form the anti-virus factor of these products."
There are two versions of the product available, Mail Warden
Unlimited, in which all features are fully configurable, and Mail
Warden Lite, which will offer the anti-virus and anti-spam
services. Users are not required to change their current ISP to
benefit from this product. Sophos Anti-Virus technology will
provide the anti-virus protection element of both of these
solutions.
