Sophos's small business solution was awarded Editor's Choice by ITPro.

Sophos Anti-Virus SBE 2.0, Sophos's integrated protection solution for small businesses, has won the prestigious "Editor's Choice" award in a comparative test conducted by ITPro.

ITPro tested McAfee Active VirusScan SMB Edition, Symantec AntiVirus 10.2, F-Secure Anti-Virus Small Business Suite and Sophos Sophos Anti-Virus Small Business Edition 2.0. The review concluded that Sophos offered "an outstanding all-round anti-virus product that combines solid detection with regular updates and straightforward management - all without imposing on the user."

Sophos received the maximum rating of six stars out of six, and the title of "Editor's Choice".

"Sophos is recognized as the clear alternative to McAfee and Symantec for small businesses and enterprises who want to defend their networks from security threats," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "Sophos offers not only the best in customer service and technical support, but also delivers to businesses a first class defense against malware attack."

Sophos's solutions for small businesses are no stranger to accolades from independent testing laboratories. Last month it was announced that PC Pro had recommended Sophos Security Suite as "an effective all-in-one solution that provides protection for small businesses from hackers, adware and viruses."

Sophos Security Suite SBE 2.0 provides all-in-one protection against viruses, hackers and spam. Combining anti-virus, firewall and email security, the product reduces the cost of protecting your Windows and Mac file servers, computers, laptops and Microsoft Exchange email servers.
