Sophos, a world leader in protecting businesses against viruses and spam, has announced that the French medical institute INSERM (Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale) has chosen Sophos PureMessage to protect its users from viruses and spam.
INSERM will be protecting 6000 mailboxes from viruses and spam using Sophos's award-winning product, Sophos PureMessage. With over 350 research units and 21 clinical research centres based across France, INSERM required an integrated product which could easily assist in scanning incoming and outgoing email messages for spam and viruses.
"The scientists at INSERM are doing important medical research. Viruses and spam can disrupt this essential work, cost money and create unnecessary interruptions. We are delighted to be able to support INSERM by defending their computers from the nuisance of viruses and spam," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos.
Sophos PureMessage supports Linux, Sun Solaris SPARC, HP-UX, FreeBSD, AIX on RISC, Windows 2000/2003/XP Professional, Exchange 2000/2003 and Microsoft IIS systems. A small business version is also available.
