Hooters is protecting its computers with Sophos Endpoint Security
and Control.
Sophos, a world leader in IT security and control, today
announced that Hooters of America, Inc., a popular Atlanta-based
operator and franchisor, has selected Sophos
Endpoint Security and Control to protect its desktops against
viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, adware, potentially unwanted
applications (PUAs) and hackers. Additionally,
Sophos PureMessage will protect Hooters against viruses,
spyware, Trojans and worms on Microsoft Exchange.
After evaluating numerous security solutions and working with
Sophos Platinum channel Partner, Softchoice, Sophos solutions were
selected based on superior detection technology and performance,
the size, speed and frequency of updates, and a single console that
allows clients to communicate without interruption. Sophos's
ability to work well without impacting system resources was also
critical in the decision.
"Sophos Endpoint Security & Control was chosen because it
out-performed the others in multiple categories throughout the
evaluation," said Ryan Pierce, network administrator at Hooters.
"There were other key advantages that factored into the decision.
Sophos's Competitor Removal Tool allowed us to easily remove our
former solution without rebooting as part of the deployment of
Sophos Endpoint Security and Control. Since Sophos upgrades are
automatic, my team has saved countless hours, as we no longer have
to make manual updates."
"We are pleased to be selected by one of the world's most
recognized restaurant franchises," said Dick Faulkner, vice
president of North American sales, Sophos. "Sophos is committed to
providing flexible, reliable and centrally-managed solutions that
are consistent with the needs of today's businesses."
