Sophos joins Australia's fastest growing SME's in BRW business
index
Sophos Pty Ltd, the wholly-owned subsidiary of UK-based
corporate anti-virus specialist Sophos Plc, has been placed 30th in
the latest BRW Fast 100 index, which was announced at an awards
ceremony in Melbourne last night.
The annual index, first published in 1991, lists Australia's
fastest growing companies in all industry sectors and is open to
both private and public companies with fewer than 200
employees.
Sophos Anti-Virus is a core enterprise anti-virus solution,
protecting businesses from more than 75,000 computer viruses and
other destructive malware. Product strength plus the quality of
partner support and end-user training programs have established
Sophos as a major player in the corporate anti-virus space in
Australia and New Zealand, with strongly increased market
share.
"We are delighted to have qualified for BRW's prestigious list
of 100 fastest growing companies in Australia," said Stuart Palmer,
managing director of Sophos Australia and New Zealand. "Our
strategic investment in a Sydney-based high security virus
laboratory for research, analysis and development; our 24x7
customer support; the quality of our people, both within Sophos and
with our partners; and the key enterprise focus for Sophos
Anti-Virus have greatly contributed to our success.
"We continue to implement strategies that offer our customers
value-added protection from the increasing range of digital threats
in the wild, and look forward to on-going accelerated growth in
2003."
