"I have not seen anything this simple in a long time. It took longer to get the appliance out of the box than to get it up and running."

Fact file
Business challenge
- With limited time available to monitor email, and 750 Windows computers to protect, the District needed to integrate better protection into its existing multi-tier, multi-vendor security strategy.
Technology solution
- With a few simple clicks, the ES4000 appliance enables the systems administrator to see exactly what is happening with the District's email.
- The ES4000 also sends a "heartbeat" to Sophos every five minutes to report on protection status.
- Sophos Endpoint Security provides simple, centralized management throughSophos Enterprise Console. It detects viruses and spyware as well as adware and other potentially unwanted applications — and includes a client firewall to prevent intrusion and stop unauthorized application communication.
Business results
- Management and administration of gateway security has been simplified, freeing the systems administrator for other tasks.
- Sophos's integrated threat protection extends to desktops, stopping malware, hackers, and both unwanted and unauthorized applications, complementing the District's existing intrusion prevention system.
