Sophos Anti-Virus partners with leading security solution
resellers to deliver corporate anti-virus solution
Hong Kong - Sophos Anti-Virus, a world leader in corporate
anti-virus protection, has announced partnerships with two leading
resellers in Hong Kong to distribute Sophos's award-winning product
suite. This is part of the company's global channel strategy to
strengthen Sophos's channel position, and to address the demand for
highly effective security solutions in Hong Kong.
Sophos's two new resellers in Hong Kong are Yui Kee Computing
Ltd., and Linux Center (HK) Ltd., who are both well-established
distributors in the territory.
"This initiative underlines our commitment to working with
enthusiastic partners throughout the world and provides a solid
platform to support their success," Dr. Jan Hruska, co-founder and
CEO of Sophos Plc, says.
Sophos's entry in the Hong Kong market comes at a time when
companies throughout the region are demanding ever-more responsive
anti-virus solutions to combat an increasing amount of
computer-related attacks. According to a recent survey conducted by
the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), the total number of PCs
infected by a computer virus or worm has risen 13.3% over last
year.
"Ultimately, Sophos is committed to providing first-class
anti-virus protection and support: working with quality partners
helps us to achieve this aim. Sophos's solutions give corporate,
government and educational users of anti-virus software products an
attractive alternative to North American vendors," Charles Cousins,
managing director for Sophos Asia, says.
"We chose to partner with Sophos Anti-Virus because we know that
we can rely on the high detection rates, ease of integration and
outstanding stability of its technology," said Alan Chan, Director
of Linux Center. "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."
Sophos Anti-Virus has built its reputation from a strong and
loyal global customer base. More than 60% of the company's
worldwide turnover comes from outside the UK. In Hong Kong, one of
its key customers is Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Sophos is one of the few security vendors that has managed to
maintain a focus on the anti-virus field. The company does not
retail its anti-virus products, concentrating instead on the
corporate, government and educational markets. Its products address
all major operating platforms.
