Cloud Service Provider to
deliver Webroot® SecureAnywhere™ Business – Endpoint Protection to its
customers across the European market
Security checks are to become faster, more efficient
and more effective in the months running up to London 2012. As a result,
a new streamlined checking process has been created by a partnership
between cloud computing service provider Insight UK and security vendor Webroot.
The agreement will enable Insight to deliver Webroot® SecureAnywhere™
Business – Endpoint Protection to its customers across the European
market.
The move is of significance because it simplifies the process of
security checks for all businesses, something which makes them less
prone to human error and more likely to succeed, according to Mark
Green, EMEA e-commerce and cloud director at Insight.
"Insight is thrilled to begin offering Webroot SecureAnywhere Business -
Endpoint Protection to our cloud customers across EMEA," said Green.
"We've been looking for the right cloud-based endpoint protection to add
to the solution set we extend to our small and mid-sized business
customers and we believe we've found a great fit with Webroot. The
product's size and speed offers significant resource and productivity
benefits to our customers, and its behaviour-based detection performed
in the cloud will keep threats from reaching their systems. We look
forward to expanding our relationship with Webroot throughout 2012 and
beyond."
Richard Daly, EMEA Channel Manager at Webroot, said, "Webroot is
excited to join forces with Insight to help transform the way security
is delivered to organisations. With this new partnership, we have
extended our platform for delivering increased productivity and
cost-savings to small-to-medium-sized enterprises across Europe."
Webroot SecureAnywhere – Endpoint Protection was launched as the
flagship product in Webroot's business portfolio in early 2012. The
solution leverages cloud-based anti-malware technologies to identify new
threats more effectively and with fewer resource requirements than
traditional endpoint protection offerings.
Key benefits include:
More effective protection: Rather than relying on signatures that can
consume network bandwidth and leave users exposed to new threats,
Webroot leverages a cloud-based intelligence network to analyse every
file that tries to run on a computer. When a new threat is identified,
every Webroot customer is protected within seconds.
Superior performance: Webroot SecureAnywhere – Endpoint Protection
installs in less than 6 seconds – 42 times faster than the average
competitor. It uses 12MB of memory during its initial scan, less than
10% of the memory needed by the average traditional security tool. Its
system scan, which searches the system for rootkits and complex threats,
takes less than 2 minutes on average.
Easier manageability: IT managers no longer need to spend time and
resources performing intrusive scans and continuous signature updating,
patching, and re-imaging. They can also manage every aspect of their
endpoint protection through a single web-based console that is
accessible from anywhere.
