Panda Cloud Office Protection Gets 5-Star Award by PC Magazine
Panda Security's endpoint security service for SMBs awarded top rating from PC Magazine/Russian Edition
ORLANDO, Fla., June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Panda Security today announced that Panda Cloud Office Protection, its cloud-based antivirus and endpoint protection solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has received a perfect five-star rating by PC Magazine/Russian Edition. PCOP was lauded for its ease-of-use, particularly when administering security for distributed networks and workforces, as well as its ability to reduce costs related to endpoint security.
Panda Cloud Office Protection is a security service that provides reliable, centralized anti-virus and firewall protection for workstations, laptops and file servers. The solution can be managed remotely — anytime, from anywhere — through its web-based management console.
PC Magazine/RE recognized the solution's simplicity of installation and ability to reduce IT costs: PCOP eliminates the need for users to set up an in-house infrastructure for the corporate anti-virus console, administration server and repository, as these functions are hosted on Panda Security's servers. This is extremely valuable for SMBs that often lack the budget and personnel resources required to effectively manage security.
The publication also praised Panda Cloud Office Protection for its intuitive and straightforward local-language interface and its ability to create security policies and user profiles quickly and effortlessly based on standard or custom settings. In addition, PCOP users can easily install local agents on employee PCs remotely and simply distribute the agent with a standard, third-party deployment methodology (SMS, Tivoli, login scripts, etc.) or via email. This web-based management feature is particularly helpful when managing security for distributed workers, such as remote employees, consultants and road warriors.
Panda Cloud Office Protection was also lauded for its minimal impact on resource consumption: "This is extremely important, especially in comparison with other anti-virus packages which could be best described as 'monsters.' The unique cloud-based Collective Intelligence technology allows users to transfer resource-intensive processes to the cloud, which minimizes the anti-virus impact on computer speed and performance," said the PC Magazine/RE editors. "Panda Cloud Office Protection can stop any threat, even on older and low-resource computers."
According to PC Magazine/RE, another important advantage of Panda Cloud Office Protection is its high detection capabilities powered by Collective Intelligence, Panda's cloud-based system for automatically detecting, analyzing and blocking malware.
