SSL Encryption for Secure Data Transfer

Managed Anti-Virus
With Cyber Crime posing an unyielding threat to businesses today, an anti-virus solution is one of the most critical, effective and affordable ways to avoid infections from viruses, spyware, adware and potentially unwanted applications. Managed Anti-Virus from Rackspace is an advanced technology that’s fully managed by our experts, so your Windows and Linux servers get the ultimate level of protection.
Benefits of the Managed Anti-Virus Solution powered by Sophos:
- Provides proactive, sustained protection against viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware and other malware in one solution
- Uses Behavioral Genotype Protection™ to provide zero-day protection by proactively identifying programs that will behave maliciously before they execute. Behavioral Genotype
Protection identifies malicious code on file servers and deletes it before it executes or
reaches endpoint computers on your network
- Provides 24x7x365 protection by SophosLabs, Sophos’s global network threat analysis centers and the smallest update size (typically <5kb) in the industry
• Can be automatically updated as frequently as every five minutes or on demand
- Includes an end-user quarantine manager for deleting or disinfecting infected files
Anti-Virus Is Essential to Regulatory Compliance:
One of the 12 requirements that comprise the PCI DSS (Payment Card Information Data
Security Standard) is to “use and regularly update anti-virus software”. Rackspace installs and
supports Managed Anti-Virus on your servers, helping you get one step closer to achieving
your PCI Certification.
HIPAA also requires entities to implement “procedures for guarding against, detecting and
reporting malicious software.” Again, the Rackspace Managed Anti-Virus solution powered by
Sophos will help you meet this important requirement.
