Case study: InTACT
InTACT is the insourced provider of telecommunications and computing
services for the whole of the Australian Capital Territory Government. Since deploying Sophos Anti-Virus (part of Endpoint Security and Control), more than 10,000 computers in the Territory's government departments, agencies and hospitals have been protected from malicious threats.
"We originally chose Sophos because of its security strengths, the company's technical excellence and, in particular, the software's low resource usage."
Ian Waters, Technical Solutions Director, InTACT
