Bunty Carter, Thorne & Carter
Sophos Security Suite makes securing your business against known and unknown threats easy – saving you time and money. You no longer need to buy and install multiple products from different vendors to stop new threats. Our award-winning software and hardware technologies integrate protection against viruses, spyware, adware, PUAs, spam and hackers.
To ensure you get the best from Sophos small business solutions, we’ve built on our 20 years’ experience to deliver the simplifi ed, integrated protection you need from a vendor you can trust – all backed up by Sophos’s expert 24/7 support.
The need for your organisation to embrace new technologies is growing. Email and the internet are increasingly important for day-to-day business − with wireless networks, PDAs, laptops and USB devices freeing employees to work remotely. But with this freedom comes risk. Computers that are not effectively protected can carry hidden threats into the business.
New security threats emerge every day. The growth in malware such as viruses, spyware and worms is compounded by the threat of hackers accessing your computers. Staff productivity is also impacted by the explosion in spam and potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) such as adware that, while not malicious, may not be appropriate for your business environment.
The challenge of securing your business can take up an unnecessary amount of time, especially if you do not have the dedicated resources or skills required. However, adding new products and tools to combat new security threats can also increase complexity and cost.
