Sophos, a world leader in corporate anti-virus protection, is
inviting Local Government Association (LGA) members responsible for
computer security to attend a free seminar on the current virus
threats and the most recent developments in computer security and
e-government. This day-long event will take place at the LGA, Local
Government House in Central London on 5 February. There is no
charge to attend.
Speakers will include:
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos
and one of the world's leading virus experts, will speak about
trends in virus writing and predictions of future threats and how
to protect against them.
Andrew Hewertson, director at a1eb, a Sophos-certified
partner, is a specialist in compliance auditing against agreed
standards such as the e-gif framework.
As well as providing information on how best to manage virus
protection in complex networked environments, this seminar will
include technical demonstrations of Sophos's award-winning
technology. Attendees will be able to test out MailMonitor, a
Sophos product that scans all email traffic and uses 'threat
reduction' technology to provide extra protection against
mass-mailing viruses. Sophos will also introduce a brand new
technology which enables remote workers to access regularly updated
anti-virus protection from a central installation directory on
their company's website or network.
At the event, a1eb and Sophos will launch their package of
solutions designed exclusively for local government. A question and
answer session where attendees can query the experts about security
issues will close the day.
