E-mail Filtering

Virus Scanning

Like the employees that operate them, the computers that your business uses need protection from viruses if they are to remain productive and in good health. Computer viruses come in many forms and can inflict different levels of damage, but even non-fatal attacks jeopardise time, morale, and productivity - and possibly the faith of customers and trading partners - as well as data.

Powernet's Virus Indemnity Risk Utility Service (VIRUS) e-mail filtering service doesn't just provide enhanced protection against a wider range of viral attacks: it also delivers the benefits of easy to understand management information reporting on e-mail traffic and virus activity, and the comfort of outsourcing a valuable form of insurance against business risk - leaving you to concentrate on generating rather than protecting your business's digital assets.

Service benefits

Powernet's VIRUS service offers significant advantages over in-house solutions to virus protection:

It can be deployed within 24 hours of receipt of your order
It delivers optimum protection by deploying four anti-virus scanners, updated every ten minutes: a business running only one anti-virus scanner will miss at least 3% of all viruses
Detection against new viruses is incorporated
It is a fully managed service, allowing you to concentrate on core business activities
No additional hardware or software is required: VIRUS uses market-leading Cisco and Dell hardware and no on-site installation is required
VIRUS provides valuable statistical reporting on both virus detection and activity levels, and on e-mail traffic levels and patterns.

All e-mail delivered through Powernet can be examined by VIRUS. For further information including pricing details, contact one of our Business Development Managers, or call us on 01908 605 188, where we will be happy to advise.
