Corporate Protection Products

[mrl1te]

Does anyone have a good recommendation of what products to try for corporate AntiVirus, Spyware, and Spam protection Program? Prefereably with a gateway scanner to remove threats before they enter the network.

We are currently using Norton AntiVirus Enterprise Addition with Premium AntiSpam Add-On, but I can't help but feel like Norton is getting old and they really don't have any new innovations lately. My Subscription is up next month for our current Definitions and software maintenance and wanted to know what else I could try that was comprable. I of course know the names Mcaffe and Computer Associates, but don't want to waste my time trying them if they won't do what I need them to.

A few other wants/needs are that it be centrally managed, has some sort of alert system to report infections and threats, does not require a lot of user intervention.

Thanks in Advance!

I find Titanium is great. Alerts for many spyware as well as anti virus.

Coprorate edition seems to work great from feedback i have received.

we just replaced McAfee with trend, it was 1/2 the price fora full suite with managment, getways, server, client, email, spam, spyware.....

Itr works prety good, called Neat Suite, only thing I would hcange with ours is getting the Damage Clean up services (we opted out, which is not looking good as we ne3ver knew the spyware was so bad....)

as to gate ways, trend will require you to have 2 boxes (one for mail filtering and one for internet) problem is you just about need a new desktop or recent server. with this hardware cost in mind were depolying Baracuda Netwoks (http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/?L=en) applicnace at $3500 a pop with 3 year subscription. while we have already paid for Trend the extra hardware costs equals the same anyway. Plus we haveh te benifit of another product covering us off so if one misses it the other should catch.

For protection from spyware I advise to use Acronis spyware remover (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/privacyexpert/).
1. It gives good protection from spywear
2. Flexible settings.
3. Not expensive.
4. Includes extra resources for protection.
5. Fast updates.
