Security company Kaspersky Labs has donated 320 of its Work Space Security licences to the New loveLife Trust, SA's national HIV prevention programme.
The company notes that as viruses continue to increase at a pace of over 30 000 new threats per day, the need for such IT protection has grown significantly over the years and cannot be ignored.
These licences will assist loveLife in the necessary protection of the organisation's workstations and main server, used to run 44 of the 860 offices situated around SA, each with approximately five to 10 staff members, explains the company.
The licences extend to the 18 youth centres the organisation has set up in the most deprived areas of the country, states Kaspersky. Each licence will provide the protection of a full Internet protection suite.
“These 320 free Kaspersky Work Space Security licences will provide great relief to our organisation, and we are very thankful to Kaspersky Lab for their assistance and quick turn around in this regard,” says Jack De Wet, IT manager at loveLife.
“Kaspersky Lab fully understands the need for 24/7 anti-virus protection of workstations and as part of our corporate social investment, we are grateful to haven been given the opportunity to assist loveLife,” says Sergey Grishchenko, head of regional corporate sales at Kaspersky Lab.
