BeSeQure - Portal Security and Sophos AntiVirus Filter has received
"Powered by SAP NetWeaver" certification status.
IT security firm Sophos has announced that BeSeQure's portal
security offering, integrated with Sophos Anti-Virus, has been
awarded 'Powered by SAP NetWeaver' certification status. BeSeQure -
Portal Security and Sophos Anti-Virus Filter contains Sophos's
award-winning anti-virus technology, and enables SAP users to
integrate business critical applications safely into their SAP
Enterprise Portal.
BeSeQure, a leading supplier of security solutions for service
oriented architectures, is committed to ensuring that its
professional portal solutions remain fully secured at all times,
enabling companies to use them for business critical processes and
applications. Thanks to its integration with Sophos Anti-Virus, the
portal environment is now protected from unwanted and malicious
content by flexible filter mechanisms with real-time content
inspection.
In addition, BeSeQure's use of Sophos Anti-Virus Interface
means that company critical documents and information can be
securely accessed, processed and entered into the portal
environment from any system. Unlike other solutions, content is
checked for malicious code before it reaches the portal, while to
avoid loss of performance, files are scanned in the background
without user knowledge or interruption to document processing.
"A deciding factor behind our decision to integrate the
anti-virus solution from Sophos into our products is that the
technology can protect against malicious code proactively," said
Bruno Quint, founder and director of BeSeQure. "In times like
these, when IT security threats are becoming more and more complex
and spreading more rapidly, this level of protection is essential -
especially for the protection of business critical systems and
data."
Sophos Anti-Virus Interface scans all data traffic for malicious
code at the gateway, while Sophos's Behavioral Genotype®
Technology enables the detection of unknown malicious code
before it can execute. All files are scanned before they reach the
portal to prevent malicious code from being accessed or spreading
via the portal infrastructure.
"SAP usually processes highly confidential information such as
customer, personnel or financial data. Availability and security
are of the highest priority for companies," said Pino v.
Kienlin, managing director of Sophos GmbH. "The protection of
all system components and data is therefore essential, and with the
integration of Sophos Anti-Virus Interface into the BeSeQure
solution we contribute considerably to increasing the security of
SAP company portals."
