Panda Security Launches Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced

• Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced is the first SaaS endpoint security solution with protection for Exchange Server
• Its anti-spam protection stops unwanted email and manages corporate email effectively

Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, today announced the release of Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced, the first cloud-based endpoint security solution with protection for Exchange Server. This new module is fully integrated into the product, resulting in simpler installation and shared updates for endpoints and Exchange servers.

The new Exchange Server protection scans all inbound and outbound email regardless of the protocol used, and the solution’s new intelligent mailbox scanner optimizes server resource usage. Additionally, its anti-spam protection for Exchange Server blocks unwanted messages and allows administrators to manage corporate email effectively with no interruption.

Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced is the only Software-as-a-Service endpoint security solution that includes Device Control technologies designed to prevent the spread of malware through the improper use of external devices. This feature enables organizations to improve productivity by enforcing policies to deny access, force read-only access, or grant total access on multiple device types (USB flash drives, digital cameras, DVDs and more). The new version of software also includes Malware Freezer, a module that ‘freezes’ detected malware for seven days by placing it in quarantine. This tool ensures system stability, restoring false positive files.

Main benefits of Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced:

• Minimizes maintenance costs and resource consumption. As this is a subscription service hosted in the cloud, it requires no investment in infrastructure or specialized personnel.
• Easy to use, easy to maintain. It monitors all endpoints and Exchange servers, including those in remote offices.
• Personal firewall (centrally or locally managed).
• Remote control tool integration and centralized monitoring of the security status of all PCs, servers and laptop computers.
• Automatic P2P updates, minimizing bandwidth consumption.

With the launch of this new service, Panda Security reinforces its commitment to providing complete cloud-based solutions that deliver protection for the major infection vectors. This new technological model helps combat the growing threat of cyber-crime more effectively, reducing resource consumption and security management complexity.

Accenture Launches ‘Lite’ Version of the Accenture CAS Software Platform

NEW YORK; June 5, 2012 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has launched a new, preconfigured version of its highly regarded Accenture CAS software platform called “Accenture CAS Lite.”  The new version offers consumer goods companies many of the advantages of the Accenture CAS software platform with a fast implementation and lower total cost of ownership.  Accenture CAS Lite is offered on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis, delivered from the cloud.

 

Accenture CAS Lite delivers the same usability as Accenture’s existing “Professional” version and includes the tried and tested, best-practice functionality of Accenture CAS Trade Promotion Management and Retail Execution.  In addition, the preconfigured nature of Accenture CAS Lite and the streamlined implementation methodology means there is no requirement for design, build and customization, which enables companies to be up and running quickly with a standardized version of the software.

 

Offering the new product on a SaaS basis, delivered from the cloud, gives companies the advantage of a single provider for every aspect of the delivery, as well as global coverage, highly skilled and Accenture trained resources, and a high level of scalability that enables a quick ramp-up and efficient rollout to new markets.

 

Accenture CAS Lite is aimed at companies that require a focused application and that are unlikely to have to modify it to suit their organization, as well as companies that want to be able to grow the platform in the future without having to undergo major changes to their infrastructure.

 

“Today’s launch is a significant evolution of the Accenture CAS software platform as it offers more companies the benefits of our software,” said Henning Fromme, Accenture CAS product strategy and development lead. “By selecting Accenture CAS Lite companies can benefit from a streamlined implementation, reduced costs and a single, globally experienced, company able to provide end-to-end support across every aspect of delivery.”

 

Fabio Vacirca, senior managing director of Accenture’s Consumer Goods & Services practice, said, “Accenture CAS Lite is the latest in our proven, pre-configured, solutions, which help consumer goods companies to reduce costs and increase sales by enabling them to match their trade management and mobile sales force needs with evolving trade and routes to market across the world. The Software as a Service licensing option delivers these benefits without the need to host and support the technology. This is central to our strategy of delivering innovative and effective managed services across promotion, pricing, and integrated sales and merchandising.”

 

Accenture CAS is one of several industry-specific software products that are designed by Accenture to support high-performing consumer goods businesses. Accenture CAS is the leading integrated sales platform for the consumer goods industry with a suite of retail execution and trade promotion management software, including direct store delivery, field service and trade promotion optimization, and is part of the Accenture Software portfolio of products.

Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, today announced the release of Panda Cloud Office Protection 6.0, the only Software-as-a-Service endpoint security solution that includes Device Controltechnologies designed to prevent the spread of malware through the improper use of external devices.

The new version also includes Malware Freezer, a module that ‘freezes’ detected malware for seven days by placing it in quarantine. This tool ensures system stability, restoring false positive files.

Panda Cloud Office Protection 6.0 is a cloud-based security service for PCs, servers and corporate laptops managed remotely from anywhere through its Web-based console.

Panda Cloud Office Protection’s infrastructure is fully hosted in the cloud, eliminating the difficulties managing remote users and hardware costs associated with a client-server security model. As always, Panda’s endpoint security service can be installed remotely, either through a distribution tool or email, without requiring the installation of a remote access add-on. The solution also offers group policies for advanced configuration of protection levels; concise and informative malware and threat reports; and a unified, centralized quarantine.

The new version is hosted in Windows Azure, a cloud platform hosted in Microsoft data centers and designed to support highly available, scalable and reliable applications. Windows Azure uses a set of privacy and security controls that ensure maximum protection of its hosted data and applications.
