The two-day Sophos enterprise solutions training course is
designed to equip channel partners with the skills required to
secure corporate networks from both viruses and spam. The course
will concentrate in part on Sophos's new sophisticated
administration tools, which have been designed to simplify
deployment and management of the company's multi-layered security
solutions across disparate and complex networked environments.
Technical training will be given on all features of enterprise
solutions, including Sophos's new Genotype detection technology, a
method of using forensic analysis to proactively identify and block
suspicious patterns and characteristics that are unique to either a
virus family or a spam campaign.
Sophos's recently launched enterprise solutions incorporates
advanced features to ease the management of anti-virus and
anti-spam tools, bolstering protection against a backdrop of ever
more complex security threats," said Stuart Small, UK sales and
marketing director, Sophos. "By providing comprehensive technical
training, we hope to equip our business partners with all the
skills they need in order to tailor each and every deployment to
the exact needs of their individual customers."
The one-day Sophos small business solutions training course has
been specially designed to help partners targeting smaller
companies. It will cover all the tools and techniques offered by
