Senforce Announces Expanded Anti-Virus Enforcement and Support
Draper, Utah June 29, 2005 Senforce Technologiesâ„? Inc., the leader in location-aware endpoint security enforcement, today announced that the company’s market-leading endpoint security solution now integrates with additional major anti-virus offerings on the market. Specifically, the Senforce Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) has gained added support for Sophos, F-Secure Corp. and Panda Software anti-virus solutions. These new integration points complement a list that already includes Symantec Corp., Trend Micro Inc., McAfee Inc., Computer Associates International Inc., and other leading anti-virus products.
“Enterprises and government organizations are moving beyond individual point products and seeking integrated solutions,” said Scott Richards, vice president of Product Management, Senforce. “The Senforce Endpoint Security Suite provides comprehensive protection for mobile systems and desktops. Integrating the suite with every major anti-virus product on the market makes natural business sense, and fulfills increasing customer demand for solutions-oriented security.”
The Senforce Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) enables IT managers to centrally create, manage and enforce security policies to protect corporate data on endpoint devices, automate security practices and enforce regulatory compliance such as Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and DoD 8100.2. Through its integrated support for anti-virus offerings, ESS customers can manage and enforce their security policies, while safeguarding networks from rogue software, worms and viruses. Senforce software ensures that major anti-virus products are installed, running and up-to-date with the latest virus definitions and security settings. Senforce’s unique approach to endpoint enforcement ensures compliance on all devices all the time regardless of whether they are connecting to corporate infrastructure, or simply surfing the Web at a wireless hotspot. In today’s increasingly mobile world, this is a far superior approach to that of only checking when the endpoint connects to the corporate network.
Senforce has longstanding relationships with the world’s leading anti-virus software companies, and is committed to standards-based integration between ESS and third-party products.
The increased integration between ESS and anti-virus software arrives at a critical time. Thirty-five (35) percent of organizations have suffered network or system attacks from inside thei organization within the last 12 months (up from 14 percent in 2004), and 26 percent of organizations have suffered attacks from external sources (up from 23 percent in 2004), according to the 2005 Global Security Survey released today by the Financial Services Industry practices of the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT).
“The rise of internal and external threats reinforces the need for progressive endpoint security that complements traditional anti-virus offerings,” said Michael Suby, program manager, Communications Service Strategies, Stratecast Partners. “Senforce is addressing this need head-on.”
ESS with integrated support for third-party anti-virus solutions is available now. For more information about Senforce’s endpoint integrity features, please visit http://www.senforce.com/pointendinteg.htm.
