Integrated email and Internet content security provider Marshal has launched Sophos for Marshal, the fully integrated anti-virus and malware detection module for the gateway.
Available immediately as an add-on module to MailMarshal and WebMarshal, Sophos for Marshal brings together the strengths of market-leading anti-malware solutions from Sophos and Marshals highly acclaimed content security products to provide even more choice for Marshal customers.
"Sophos for Marshal represents the culmination of an ongoing collaboration between Marshal and Sophos to deliver a faster and more complete solution," said Bradley Anstis, VP Products for Marshal. "The new module provides even more choice to Marshal customers and it broadens our portfolio to deliver a truly integrated AV and malware module based on a single engine."
This version of Sophos for Marshal goes beyond mere malware detection by providing total protection at the gateway against all known viruses, spyware, worms and adware, as well as against any potentially unwanted applications (PUA). Innovative Genotype and Behavioral technlogies are made available at the gateway level, better ensuring zero-day protection against known and unknown threats.
Major improvements have been achieved with the integration of Sophos within this Marshal solution:
The Sophos for Marshal module is now fully integrated with MailMarshal SMTP and WebMarshal
Ease of installation: The new Sophos for Marshal module does not require any additional software to be installed.
This tighter integrated scanner uses a separate updating service for increased resilience and deeper integration into the Marshal user interfaces, for example the ability to see current scanner status and signature version of all installed scanners in the recent WebMarshal 6.0 administration console.
The new integrated module not only offers Marshal customers more choice but also creates real revenue potential for security resellers.
Peter Norman, VP of Product Management and Corporate Development at Sophos commented "This collaboration with Marshal is an important one. We are confident that Sophos for Marshal will prove to be effective protection against both virus attacks and potentially unwanted applications (PUA)."
