Panda Antivirus Solution to Support for Microsoft ISA Server 2004

MADRID, July 13, 2004 Panda Software announces the coming release of Panda ISASecure Antivirus for Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004, providing businesses of all sizes with a complementary solution to help keep viruses and other malicious content from entering the network.

Panda Software adds to ISA Server 2004’s advanced protection, ease of use and fast secure access capabilities with the ability to further scan and effectively disinfect network traffic using a Web (ISAPI) or application filter, files in all formats sent and received through HTTP and SMTP. Panda ISASecure Antivirus provides an ideal complement for the protection by the firewall and proxy server modules in ISA Server 2004. ISA Server 2004 is an advanced application layer firewall, VPN and Web cache solution enabling customers to easily maximize existing IT investments by improving network security and performance.

“Panda ISASecure Antivirus has been created from the outset to integrate smoothly with ISA Server 2004,” said Pedro Bustamante, Chief Marketing Officer at Panda Software. “It is essential to have a good solution to combat viruses, but it is just as important that the solution respects the stability and performance of the perimeter firewall. There is no doubt that ISA Server 2004 is a landmark in efficient and effective network security, and Panda Software is proud to provide advanced technology in virus through its flagship corporate solution: Panda EnterpriSecure, developed using Microsoft’s new Virus Scanning API, complete integration without affecting server performance.”

“Customers have told us they need comprehensive solutions to help address the increasingly sophisticated types of viruses they’re seeing today,” said David Gardner, Business Development Manager in the Security Business and Technology Unit at Microsoft Corp. “Panda ISASecure Antivirus builds on ISA Server 2004’s advanced protection capabilities to give customers a strong set of tools for keeping malware out of the network.”

Panda ISASecure Antivirus can be purchased separately or as part of Panda EnterpriSecure Antivirus. This solution is designed for large and medium-sized organizations with multi-platform network resources and companies that need centralized administration of the protection through security policies deployed across the network.
