A solution allowing third-party NetWare applications developers
to integrate with Sophos's award-winning virus protection.
Sophos, a world leader in protecting businesses from viruses and
spam, today announced the release of SAV Interface for NetWare, the
application programming interface (API) that allows the integration
of Sophos's powerful virus detection and disinfection capabilities
with third-party applications. GWAVA, a provider of eSecurity
software solutions for Novell GroupWise, worked with Sophos during
the development of SAV Interface for NetWare.
SAV Interface provides
comprehensive reporting of any virus incident. It satisfies the
requirements of high-bandwidth environments and, through its
high-speed channel into the Sophos virus detection engine, provides
protection against all known viruses. Integrating with Sophos's
EM Library, SAV Interface for NetWare
can update its virus protection automatically, without any
requirement for user intervention.
"Rapid response and superior performance are the two most
important considerations when protecting your system from email
virus threats," said Charles Taite, co-founder and CTO at GWAVA.
"Combining GWAVA with Sophos's first-class technologies provides
our customers with an excellent way to stay protected from new
threats."
"As a Novell Technology Partner, Sophos is showing its
commitment to customers running on Novell platforms, specifically
Netware and SUSE Linux." said John Shaw, senior product manager for
enterprise solutions at Sophos. "Launching SAV Interface for
NetWare opens new doors for integration with other NetWare
applications and is further proof of Sophos's focus on developing
solutions for NetWare customers."
