Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
Yes you do! Cyber Sentry will
only scan your email as it passes through your gateway. This service is not to
be confused with desktop software, which protects your network from resident
virus attacks and risks associated with floppy disks.
We
strongly recommend that you install a strong desktop anti-virus package on your
desktop computers and file servers.
We
already have an anti-virus service; do we still need Cyber Sentry?
Cyber Sentry will only scan your email as it passes through your gateway or ISP. This service is not to be confused with desktop software, which protects your network from resident virus attacks and risks associated with floppy disks. Our service is the only an additional measure that you will need if you are to implement a 100% secure anti-virus strategy.
We
strongly recommend that you install a strong desktop anti-virus package on your
desktop computers and file servers.
We
already have an anti-virus strategy, which includes software at both the desktop
and the gateway. Why would I need the Cyber Sentry service?
Most
companies have an anti-virus strategy in place. By using Cyber Sentry you are
only re-enfourcing this strategy. If your company already has a gateway
protection system such as Mimesweeper our service offers several key advantages:
- Every
email that is passed though our servers is scanned four times.
- The
system automatically updates signatures every 10 minutes. Or relationship
with the anti-virus suppliers also allow us preferential download status.
This means that we get updates before they are publicly available.
- To
use our system you don’t need to install any hardware or software.
- With
millions of emails passing through our servers every day we are in a perfect
position where we can identify trends and patterns. We will use this
information to help us to tune our service and protect our users.
