F-Secure Introduces Complete Information Security Solution For Small Businesses
F-Secure has today released a new product suite, F-Secure Anti-Virus Small Business Suite, targeted for small and medium businesses. The suite provides complete information security coverage including antivirus and firewall protection for workstations and laptops. The suite also includes antivirus protection for Windows file servers and Microsoft Exchange email servers.
Small companies typically do not have resources or time to follow the latest security advisories and virus outbreaks. Still, they are faced with the same security risks as the large companies with dedicated IT security departments. Network worms, such as the Sasser, that are utilizing operating system vulnerabilities are able to cause serious productivity losses for small companies even if their antivirus software is updated but lack a firewall. Antivirus alone cannot prevent network worms doing damage.
“Compared to a plain antivirus solution the F-Secure Anti-Virus Small Business Suite adds an additional security layer to tackle the risk of fast spreading network worms. The solution prevents network worms and hackers from gaining access to desktops and laptops no matter where they connect to the Internet”, said Topi Hautanen, Marketing Manager of Corporate Business Unit at F-Secure Corporation.
F-Secure Anti-Virus Small Business Suite is easy to use and has automatic protection bundled with a desktop-level firewall and intrusion prevention. Simple low-cost administration and deployment through centralised management and automatic updates provide clear customer benefits to small and medium sized companies. F-Secure Anti-Virus for File Servers eliminates viruses within a company’s Windows servers while F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange scans and keeps viruses out at the Exchange servers before they reach end-user’s mailboxes.
