Sophos EM Reporter Highlights the Virus Hotspots Inside Companies 

Graphical reports on viruses detected across the entire network give system administrators even more control over their business's security

LYNNFIELD, Mass., July 21 - Sophos, a world leader in anti- virus solutions for businesses, today announced the immediate availability of EM Reporter, a new management tool for its Enterprise Manager suite. EM Reporter enables Sophos customers to generate management reports about virus alerts throughout their company.

EM Reporter processes and stores virus alerts generated by Sophos Anti- Virus, detailing every virus incident and giving a clear, tailored picture of the most vulnerable points on the network. By delivering instant, graphical reports of viruses detected across Windows servers and workstations, there is no longer any need to spend time collating report logs by hand.

"Having included the EM Reporter application within the Enterprise Manager suite is the icing on the cake," said Andrew Burg at Mass Media based in Moorpark, California. "EM Reporter allows me to expeditiously gather virus data that's of interest to me and it generates an easy to decipher graphical summary based on my criteria. I directly see the number and locations of viruses that Sophos protected Mass Media against. These reports reaffirmed that our choice to renew with Sophos was the right one."

Reports can be customized, giving staff full control on what information is included in the report. Selecting from information such as the number of alerts by virus type, by location, by time period -- hourly, daily, etc. -- as well as full details of the virus itself.

"EM Reporter significantly helps Sophos customers isolate any virus hotspots inside their business and take appropriate action," explained Mark Laister, Enterprise Manager product manager at Sophos.

"The reports can also be collated to show how long a company has been kept virus free -- a valuable piece of information for business clients, customers and partners."

EM Reporter is part of the Enterprise Manager suite, which enables you to keep Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows updated automatically with the very latest anti-virus protection. For more information visit http://www.sophos.com/products/em/
