Sophos praised for understanding small business needs
Sophos, a world leader in integrated threat management
solutions, announced today that ComputerWorld conducted a product
review of Sophos Security Suite for small businesses, focusing
on anti-virus and firewall features.
The review concluded that Sophos Security Suite provides
powerful centralized management for all client security needs as
well as an intuitive interface that can be used by both experienced
systems/network administrators and users that have basic desktop
support skills. From installation and remote deployment to the
central configuration and the reporting and resolution of threats,
the reviewer also noted that Sophos designed this product to be
easy-to-use and effective in promoting solid small network
security.
Sophos Security Suite for Small Business provides reliable
protection against viruses, Trojans, spyware and spam. The
user-friendly interface allows administrators to monitor virus
alerts, manage laptop use and protect new computers. It protects
every tier of a network, combining the power of Sophos Anti-Virus
and Sophos PureMessage to deliver the best defense for desktops,
file servers and email servers.
"Sophos is dedicated to simplifying complex tasks while
delivering the best protection available," said John Stringer,
product manager at Sophos. "We are pleased that ComputerWorld
highly recommends Sophos Security Suite for Small Business."
Review Highlights:
- For small businesses relying solely on Windows 2000 and better
PCs and servers, this product is an excellent solution. For more
diverse networks that include Macs and PCs running Windows 9x, it
is a good, if not perfect, choice.
- From installation and remote deployment to the central
configuration of anti-virus, malware, and firewall features to the
reporting and resolution of threats, it's clear that Sophos
designed this product to be as easy to use and understand as it is
effective in promoting solid small network security.
- Not only is the installation painless, but the initial setup
wizard is equally intuitive, identifying each step in the process
clearly and with language that virtually anyone proficient in using
Windows can understand.
- Sophos really nailed the interface for ease of understanding
and use.
- Sophos's anti-virus solution is comprehensive, with features
such as genotype and behavioral genotype protection that allow the
software to detect potential viruses before definitions for a virus
are released.
