NetXactics, the southern African distributor for Sophos Anti-Virus, a global leader in anti-virus protection for businesses, has announced the launch of a new version of Sophos`s award-winning MailMonitor for Exchange product to scan Microsoft Exchange 2003 servers for e-mail-aware worms, viruses and Trojan horses.
Sophos MailMonitor for Exchange v1.6 ensures the availability of world-class virus protection at the same time as Microsoft brings its Exchange Server 2003 product to market. MailMonitor scans for viruses in all incoming e-mails, enabling network administrators to either disinfect, delete or quarantine infected messages.
"Sophos`s early support for Microsoft Exchange 2003 helps deliver a solution that gives our mutual customers a complete defence against virus attack," said Nigel Postings, Exchange Server 2003 product marketing manager, Microsoft. "We look forward to continuing to work with Sophos, protecting our joint customers at the desktop, server, e-mail gateway and beyond."
"The most widespread viruses exploit e-mail services to spread themselves," said Brett Myroff, CEO of NetXactics. "Many companies will be considering upgrading their e-mail servers to Microsoft Exchange 2003 and will be looking for an established anti-virus vendor which can provide them with protection throughout that transition and into the future. Sophos is well placed to provide that protection against the hundreds of new viruses we see each month."
Sophos MailMonitor for Exchange is capable of scanning all messages and files for viruses, Trojans and worms regardless of their entry route before they are delivered to users. The software, which works with both Microsoft Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003, can be kept constantly up-to-date with protection against the latest virus threats using Sophos`s Enterprise Manager product.
