As a Cage Data customer, you probably know that we’ve run Symantec’s antivirus product for years. It’s been a great product as the cyber security landscape has been plagued by ever changing strategies employed by the people that create viruses and vulnerabilities that have even effected the way we think about processor chips.
As the cyber security landscape has changed, we’ve been watching the vendors who design software and hardware to protect their customers. Today we’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Sophos! Sophos’ cloud-based platform, Sophos Central, brings together their complete suite of products into a single platform which leverages Synchronized Security to make Intercept X, their endpoint security software, and their XG Firewall products work together.
Sophos SafeGuard is rated 8.4, while Symantec Endpoint Encryption is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Sophos SafeGuard writes 'An excellent endpoint solution that's easy to setup, very stable, and highly secure'. Comparing Sophos and Symantec Endpoint Security yields some interesting similarities and differences in ratings, reviews and usage details. Sophos (4.2 stars out of 5) earns higher ratings by IT pros in the Spiceworks Community compared to Symantec Endpoint Security (2.9 stars out of 5). 'With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background.' 'In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard.'
Not only does Sophos offer security for your computers, servers and networks, but with Phish Threat, Cage Data offers customers phishing awareness training so that your employees know how to detect a malicious email. Phishing is the number 1 source of malicious attacks against businesses today, and the number 1 prevention method for these attacks is training to know what they look like. With Phish Threat, Cage Data assembles and sends out monthly simulated phishing attacks with follow-up training for anyone who clicks the links on the attack.
