Panda has introduced its Web-based subscription , Panda Managed Office version 5.02, to the channel. The security service is aimed at professionals, SMEs and any enterprise wanting to drive channel sales, and to resellers and ISPs offering a complete protections service.

Jeremy Matthews, Panda Security's head of operations in the sub-Sahara region, believes this offering is more than just an anti-virus. “This service includes proactive anti-malware protection, managed personal firewall as well as in-depth malware audits.”

It also provides a Web console that allows clients' networks to be monitored and administered remotely, simply and securely from a Web browser, saving the time and hassle associated with on-site visits, he adds.

The product includes features such as custom branding, which allows for the customising of the service; improved global client management through key protection; and licence status information on all clients, Matthews says.

“With Managed Office Protection, the channel will be providing a complete, value-added security management service, fully aligned with the concept of security as a service. The console allows client organisations to be structured in as many layers as required, in accordance with the resellers or partners involved in the sales.”
