Advanced Document Filtering And Enhanced Policy Management Capabilities Are a Win For Sharepoint Users
East Northport, NY¯(January 13, 2003) Sybari Software, Inc., the authority in secure messaging and collaboration, today announced their leading antivirus and content-filtering, Antigen 7.5 for Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies has gone gold. This latest addition for Sybari s Antigen fully supports Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and enables companies to take advantage of new and enhanced features including document filtering capabilities, real-time protection of multiple SharePoint Document Libraries and seamless integration with Microsoft SharePoint Virus Scanning API.
“Sybari’s Antigen for Microsoft SharePoint application has done a superior job of protecting our internal SharePoint Portal Server (Version 2) as well as the SharePoint portals we host and maintain for our customers located around the world,” said Jim O’Farrell, director of business development at Portal Dynamics. “The ease of use for our system administrators and the multiple scan engines that protect our data and provide a fail-safe back-up are key benefits to this product.”
