Sophos Anti-Virus protects universities across Germany
Sophos, a world leader in corporate anti-virus protection,
announced today that the University of Hamburg has chosen its
flagship product, Sophos Anti-Virus, to defend the University's
servers and workstations from over 70,000 computer viruses, Trojans
and worms.
The University of Hamburg chose Sophos Anti-Virus after an
extensive evaluation of the many anti-virus solutions available in
the market. Sophos Anti-Virus was found to best meet its needs.
Following the decision of Leibniz Computer Centre in Munich to
deploy Sophos Anti-Virus in 2000, agreements have been reached with
the federal states of Bavaria, Saxony and Lower Saxony to protect
all their universities with Sophos Anti-Virus. Other customers
include the University of Frankfurt, University of Cologne,
Technical University of Braunschweig and the Technical University
of Darmstadt.
"We are delighted the University of Hamburg has joined the long
list of companies, organisations and educational establishments to
have selected Sophos Anti-Virus to protect their systems from
malware attack," said Dr Jan Hruska, joint CEO of Sophos. "The
students of today will be the managers and decision-makers of
tomorrow - so it is especially important to us that they are
familiar with the world-beating solutions available from
Sophos."
Sophos Anti-Virus has a strong record of protecting against the
latest viruses and is regularly verified for its detection
capabilities by independent testing bodies such as those from the
ICSA, West Coast Labs and AV-Test.Org, based at the University of
Magdeburg in Germany.
