Conair selects Sophos to protect global Mac network from malware Sophos Endpoint Security and Control to safeguard manufacturer's Macintosh environment globally
Conair protects its Apple Macintosh computers with Sophos Endpoint Security and Control.
IT security and control firm Sophos today announced that Conair, a world leader in personal hair care and small home appliances, has renewed its worldwide Sophos Endpoint Security and Control license for its Macintosh environment for another two years. Sophos will continue to protect Conair’s desktops against viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, adware, potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and hackers.
"My team is responsible for supporting all Mac computers globally. In the past, we had tried other anti-virus solutions but found that managing monthly virus definition updates were a complete hassle and unreliable - Sophos changed all that," said Bill Heese, IT Manager of Global Creative Services at Conair. "With the Sophos Enterprise Console, updating machines is a breeze. We now have centralized reporting and can create policy changes without having to touch every computer on the network. Sophos has allowed us to turn a repetitive task into one that is streamlined and painless."
"Sophos is committed to providing flexible, reliable and centrally-managed solutions that are consistent with the needs of today’s businesses," said Dick Faulkner, vice president of North American sales at Sophos. "We are pleased that Conair has opted to extend its Sophos subscription."
