Panda Security has released Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced, with protection for Exchange Servers completely integrated into the product, making installation and shared updates for endpoints and Exchange Servers simpler.
When using Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced, all e-mails are scanned regardless of the protocol used. The new intelligent mailbox scanner optimises server resource usage, and the anti-spam protection for Exchange Server blocks unwanted messages and helps administrators to manage corporate e-mail effectively with no interruption.
According to Dominic Richardson, marketing manager at Panda Security, Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced is quite different to the recently introduced Antivirus 2.0. “Antivirus 2.0 offers effective basic protection; it doesn't include a firewall and some of the other more advanced features that you would get from our other retail products.”
Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced is the only software as a service endpoint security solution that includes Device Control technologies designed to prevent the spread of malware through the improper use of external devices. Using this software, organisations can improve productivity by enforcing policies to deny access, force read-only access, or grant total access on multiple device types. The new version includes Malware Freezer, which actually 'freezes' any malware that has been detected by placing it in quarantine for seven days.
“Panda Security was the first IT security company to harness the power of cloud computing with its Collective Intelligence technology. Collective Intelligence receives and analyses some 63 000 new malware samples a day from millions of users,” says Richardson.
As a solution hosted in the cloud, the new product not only minimises maintenance costs, but also requires no infrastructure investment. Furthermore, the solution is easy to use and maintain, and comes with a personal firewall.
“The risks associated with the cloud vary greatly depending on what kind of cloud product or infrastructure you are referring to,” says Richardson. “The risk that people often associate with this is that, when the Internet is down, you are unprotected, but that isn't the case; traditional signature files are still used to provide protection when there is no connectivity.”
