New Panda Cloud Office Protection Beta Version 6.0
January 16th, 2012
Panda Security has launched the beta version of its cloud-based security service, protecting PC’s, servers and corporate laptops, managed remotely from anywhere through the web-based console.
Panda Cloud Office Protection 6.0 is an easy to use, secure security solution. It includes policies to block dangerous actions commonly carried out by malware, self-protection against malware that tries to damage or remove the antivirus, and real-time access to Collective Intelligence.
The beta version can be downloaded for free at http://www.pandasecurity.com/promotions/betatest/pcop.
Panda Security has launched a couple of initiatives alongside the beta release: The first 200 new customers who use the beta on at least two PCs will receive six months of free service (up to 250 licenses). In addition, the beta testers who suggest the most helpful improvements will be awarded with a $200 Amazon.com gift certificate.
Key Features of the new release includes Device control technologies against malware in external devices, allowing companies to increase productivity by preventing improper use of those media. This technology allows companies to enforce actions -deny access, force read-only access, grant total access- on multiple types of devices (USB flash drives, digital cameras, DVDs, etc.) from the Panda Cloud Office Protection Web-based console.
The new version is hosted in Windows Azure, a cloud services 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.
