Sådan skriver Verner Kjærsgaard, der driver it-virksomhed med base i Nyker, i en mail til Bornholms Tidende.

Avira Internet Security 2012 og Avira Free Antivirus er valgt som bedste Antivirus pakke og bedste gratis Antivirus pakke i Forbrugerrådets TÆNKs test af 18 Antivirus programmer

Pressemeddelelse

Avira Internet Security 2012 og Avira Free Antivirus er valgt som bedste Antivirus pakke og bedste gratis Antivirus pakke i Forbrugerrådets TÆNKs test af 18 Antivirus programmer

Avira Free Antivirus klarede sig bedre end 10 konkurrerende betalingsprogrammer i TÆNKs test

København, Danmark, 19. april, 2012 – IT-sikkerhedseksperten Avira har med produkterne Internet Security 2012 og Avira Free Antivirus været på testbænken sammen med 18 andre antivirusprogrammer. De to antivirusprodukter fra Avira fik betegnelsen ”bedste pakke i testen” og ”Bedste gratis – nok til de fleste”, i testen deltog 18 antivirus programmer fra flere leverandører, hvoraf de 14 var betalingsprogrammer og 4 kom som gratisprodukter.

Avira og Avira's danske distributør Liga Distribution er naturligvis meget tilfredse med Avira Internet Security 2012 og Avira Free Antivirus meget fine placering, der ses som et udtryk for Aviras tilgang til at løse den store udfordring, det er at skabe tryghed og brugervenlighed for Aviras kunder og brugere. "Vores vejledende filosofi i designet af vores 2012 sikkerhedssoftware var "less is more" - som er sådan, vi giver forbrugerne og de små virksomheder mere sikkerhedsbeskyttelse - altså med færre manuelle konfigurationer og færre beslutninger at træffe, "siger Sorin Mustaca, produktchef og datasikkerhedsekspert hos Avira.

Verner Kjærsgaard fra avira.zorum.dk, der forhandler Aviras sikkerhedsprodukter i Danmark og resten af Norden, siger ”Hvad hjælper det, at du har verdens bedste antivirusprogram, hvis du har det slukket for at kunne arbejde med din computer, der ellers bliver for sløv. Eller du har et rigtig fint produkt du kan betjene, men det fanger ingen af de trusler, du vil beskytte dig imod... et godt antivirusprodukt skal i dag både være effektivt og brugervenligt, og det er her, at Avira med deres tilgang og udvikling har vist, at det er de rigtig gode til”.

Aviras sikkerhedssoftware beskytter mere end 100 millioner mennesker over hele verden ved at opdage og fjerne de nyeste malware; afskærmer kunder mod virus, orme, rootkits, botnets, identitetstyveri og svindel og andre trusler på internettet. Avira software har endda yderligere øget detektionsraterne ved at fange særlig malware, der skjuler sig for almindelige antivirus-software. Nye opdagelsesmekanismer finder slyngelstaternes kode, der tit skjuler sig dybt inde i operativsystemet.

Ud over en enklere grænseflade, smartere kode, og stærkere afsløring af vira, fokuserer Avira 2012 også på støtte ved at tilføje live Customer Support til alle premium-produkter. Hvis brugerne løber ind i problemer, kan de tilsluttes direkte til en teknisk supportingeniør, der vil løse problemerne i realtid via internettet ved hjælp af Aviras nye Team Viewer funktion.

SUSE Celebrates 20th Anniversary in 2012

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:53:00 +0100

Nuremberg, Germany, February 7, 2012 - SUSE today announced its plans to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary with a year-long campaign highlighting the company's history and future. The long-time provider of enterprise Linux solutions will showcase major historical milestones and discuss plans for the future through a series of worldwide events that will include SUSECon 2012, the premier event for SUSE customers, partners and enthusiasts. "We have a lot to celebrate in 2012," said Nils Brauckmann, president and general manager, SUSE. "SUSE today is the recognized market leader in several important segments, and is well positioned to take advantage of an ever expanding market for commercial Linux and open source technologies. We plan to recognize the people, the events and the technological developments that have helped bring us to where we are today." SUSE plans to roll out information and activities highlighting how the company has evolved from its early beginnings in the open source industry, to forging partnerships with the world's leading technology vendors in order to deliver innovation, investment protection and affordable enterprise-quality software infrastructure to a generation of customers. SUSE's roots date back to September 1992, when three German university math students and a recently graduated software engineer formed a company to develop software and function as an advisory UNIX group. Seeing the potential of Linux, the team decided to distribute Linux operating systems and offer support services. It chose the name "S.u.S.E," using an acronym for a German term that meant software and systems development. The name was eventually shortened to "SUSE." The company has accomplished significant milestones over its 20 years of business, including: Alliance Milestones
SUSE's history has been characterized by having strong industry partnerships that continue to thrive today. In 1999 it forged a partnership with IBM, which led to a number of forward-looking projects - most notably, joint cooperation to port Linux code to the mainframe. A year later, SUSE was the only company to offer a Linux operating system for IBM mainframes that was enterprise-ready and commercially supported. Around the same time, SUSE partnered with SAP's LinuxLab, eventually becoming the first Linux provider to be designated a "SAP Global Technology Partner." In 2006, a landmark business and technical collaboration agreement with Microsoft led to a joint research facility for improving Linux interoperability with Microsoft Windows. Today, the partnership continues to help customers maximize utilization and minimize the costs of managing their heterogeneous, mixed IT environments. SUSE continues to maintain active partnerships with other established global technology leaders such as AMD, Dell Fujitsu, HP, Intel, Oracle and VMware that have resulted in helping customers solve today's incredibly complex IT challenges. Product Milestones
In 1994 SUSE shipped its first Linux distribution - S.u.S.E Linux 1.0. Its next significant product followed in 1996 with the release of S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2, the first version to be developed completely by SUSE, rather than simply translated. In 2000, SUSE introduced SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server, a server operating system targeting corporate users - the first globally distributed, fully supported Linux server operating system for enterprise production environments. Other notable product introductions include SUSE Studio, an award-winning appliance and application image creation tool launched in 2009. SUSE Manager, the company's comprehensive Linux Server management solution, launched in 2011. And most recently, SUSE debuted its OpenStack*-powered cloud infrastructure solution. Community Milestones
SUSE has long-served and contributed to a large number of open source community projects and partnerships. One of the biggest and most influential is the openSUSE® project, which was established in 2005. Commercially supported Linux software from SUSE had always been developed and distributed under open source models and licenses, but openSUSE further opened up development processes, allowing programmers and users to test and help contribute towards the development of its community and commercial versions. Corporate Milestones
In its 20-year history, SUSE has undergone two notable ownership changes. SuSE Linux AG was acquired by Novell Inc. in early 2004. Seven years later, Novell was acquired by The Attachmate Group, which reestablished SUSE as an autonomous business unit focused on engineering excellence, smart innovation, and enduring customer and partner relationships. For two decades, SUSE has brought the power of Linux to a wide variety of customers, including the London Stock Exchange, BMW, Walgreen's, SONY, Sesame Workshop, and Office Depot. Many customers trust SUSE Linux Enterprise to deliver a diverse range of core, mission-critical IT services, from high volume market data and trading, to manufacturing and production, to e-commerce and air traffic control, just to name a few. "We have a rich history as a Linux pioneer. We're proud to be part of the open source community and long-serving contributors to Linux," said Hubert Mantel, an original founder of SUSE. "Celebrating our 20th anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect upon our history and share our visions for the future. The possibilities for SUSE today are more exciting than ever. Perhaps even more exciting than when we started 20 years ago."In honor of its achievements over the last 20 years, SUSE will host a series of events worldwide including SUSECon 2012, September 18-21 at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando, Florida. About SUSE

Version 8.3 of Astaro Security Gateway Brings UTM to the Cloud

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:00:00 +0100

Copenhagen 16-01-2012. Astaro – a Sophos Company and leading Unified Threat Management (UTM) provider, announced the availability of version 8.300 of the Astaro Security Gateway (ASG). With the ability to launch the Astaro Security Gateway in the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud and connect to the Amazon VPC using local Astaro installation with the new VPC Connector, the new version considerably extends Astaro’s UTM capabilities into the cloud.

Astaro’s compatibility with Amazon’s VPC via official Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) allows users to easily run their own cloud UTM in minutes. Also new is a dedicated connector for Amazon’s Virtual Private Cloud. Amazon’s VPC service allows users to easily host and run server infrastructure in a secure, scalable cloud, and the new connector gives organizations a permanent connection to their VPC resources right from the Astaro Security Gateway.

The introduction of BGP4 routing brings advanced routing capabilities for enterprises and carriers. Rounding out the full suite of routing tools already present in the Astaro Security Gateway, BGP4 allows the Astaro Security Gateway to support more deployment scenarios and handle complex routing environments of enterprise installations. The Astaro Security Gateway version 8.3 also includes support features for the new Sophos Access Point AP50, which will be released in January 2012.

“Astaro and Sophos continue to invest in our flagship product, the Astaro Security Gateway,” said Jan Hichert, senior vice president & general manager, Network Security, Sophos. “The extension into the Amazon cloud environments through the Amazon EC2 and VPC are in response to our customers’ growing need for cloud security solutions and a reflection of how we are leading the industry in UTM development. Also coming in the next few months is version 9 of the Astaro Security Gateway which will further integrate Astaro and Sophos technologies.”

Simple, Smart, Strong: Avira Announces Anti-Virus Software Version 2012

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 09:00:00 +0200

Tettnang, Germany, October 4, 2011 – IT security expert Avira today announced the arrival of Version 2012 of its world-famous antivirus computer security software. The focus of Avira’s 2012 software product line is giving consumers, micro and small businesses more security protection while removing the complexity typically associated with Internet security. Avira’s security software protects more than 100 million people around the world by detecting and removing the latest malware; shielding customers from viruses, worms, rootkits, botnets, identity theft scams and other threats on the Internet. Version 2012’s measurable improvements include an improved user interface and installation process, more automation in the detection and removal of malware, improved usage of system resources, and an even better detection of the latest and unknown threats. “Our guiding philosophy in the design of our 2012 security software was ‘less is more’ – by which we give consumers, micro and small businesses more security protection with less manual configurations and decisions to make,” said Sorin Mustaca, product manager and data security expert at Avira. “In addition to overhauling our code, increasing speed and reducing complexity, we’ve taken on more ownership for automating security settings and resolving software conflicts to install easily and keep our users safe from tricky malware.”

Product Highlights:

More intuitive User Interfaces – A cleaner, more modern screen design with options organized by function, and a streamlined 2-click install process and automatic resolution of software conflicts during installation. Avira’s software was designed with default configurations to make installation easier, to keep the user safer, and to take the guesswork out of remaining secure. Also, users will discover that many components have been renamed so that every consumer can understand their function without reading the documentation. And best of all, a one-click “Fix Problems” button to solve any issues that might endanger users’ computers. Smarter Code – Avira software has even further increased detection rates by out-witting malware that hides from ordinary antivirus software. New detection mechanisms find rogue code that hides even deep in the operating system. Stronger Detection – All components have been fortified in order to better resist malware attacks that target antivirus software specifically. This fortification includes the ability for Avira software to function without many registry keys, better resistance against process termination and component deletion, and many other malware counter-measures. In addition to a simpler interface, smarter code, and stronger detection, Avira 2012 also focuses on support by adding Live Customer Support for all premium products. If users run into any problems, they can connect directly with a technical support engineer who will fix the problems in real time over the Internet using Avira’s new Team Viewer feature. Lastly, running two security solutions in parallel can have negative consequences on the stability of the PC and the overall experience with newly installed software. So in order to make the transition to the Avira products version 2012 as easy and painless as possible, automatic detection and removal of potentially incompatible software has been added in all installation programs. No worries, it is possible to select what 3rd party solutions to keep.

Pricing and Availability

Avira’s 2012 line up of antivirus security software is available now localized for English and German languages. French, Japanese, Chinese and other localizations will be available in the first quarter of 2012. Retail pricing is:

Astaro Promotes Cyber Security Awareness with New Campaign

Sat, 02 Oct 2010 09:00:00 +0200

Wilmington, MA – Astaro, a Sophos company and leading Unified Threat Management provider, today announced that the company is participating in a campaign to promote cyber security awareness. The campaign will take place in October to coincide with National Cyber Security Awareness Month and will include information for parents, students, schools, libraries, colleges and businesses, all available on a dedicated page on the Astaro website. In addition, Astaro is holding a video submission contest for students. “With more than 50 percent of all devices connected to the internet, cyber security is a growing priority for parents, schools and businesses,” said Bob Darabant, vice president, Astaro Americas. “Becoming educated on the real threats that exist is as critical as implementing the security itself. Our campaign is bringing awareness to this important issue, and we hope businesses and individuals continue to think about potential risks whenever they use the Internet.” To help promote cyber security awareness, Astaro has created a website dedicated to providing information regarding cyber security. The site offers tips for parents, students, educational institutions and businesses for staying safe online. Throughout October, the site will be updated with tips and resources that can be used to improve cyber security awareness and online behaviors. In addition to the website, Astaro is hosting a video submission contest for students that will help illustrate the importance of Internet safety. Students can submit a one- to two-minute video answering the following questions on the Astaro Cyber Security Awareness Month website: Why is cyber security awareness important? What are you doing to stay safe online? At the end of the month, Astaro will select one winner from each age group. Winners will receive a new laptop. “While our normal audience for promotional material is generally businesses,” Darabant added, “we feel it is important to involve children and teenagers in the educational process since they are more susceptible to the threats online. We hope the contest will get them thinking about their Internet behavior and open a dialog with their parents about important online issues such as cyber-bullying and online predators.” About The National Cyber Security Alliance The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) is a non-profit organization. Through collaboration with the government, corporate, non-profit and academic sectors, the NCSA empowers a digital citizenry to use the Internet securely and safely, protecting themselves and the technology they use and the digital assets we all share. NCSA works to create a culture of cyber security and safety through education and awareness activities. NCSA board members include: ADP, AT&T, EMC Corporation, Cisco Systems, Facebook, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Google, Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Services, McAfee, Microsoft, PayPal, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Symantec, Verizon and Visa.

Consumers Still Have Concerns About Online Shopping Safety According to Avira Survey

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:19:00 +0200

Tettnang, Germany --- September 22, 2011 – An overwhelming majority – 70 percent – of consumers either don’t shop online or do so with concerns about their safety while navigating the Internet according to the most recent survey of computer users from IT security expert Avira. During a July 2011 survey of Avira users, just 30 percent of respondents felt secure enough to be worry free as they shop online. The online shopping survey was presented to Avira’s website visitors during July, 2011 with the question: Do you feel secure while shopping online?

28.62% - I shop online, but I always fear that my personal data is going to get into the wrong hands.
22.51% - I trust only well known shops or brands like Amazon or iTunes.
18.85% - Due to security concerns, I do not shop online.
15.65% - I am fine as long as the method of paying and the financial transactions are always secure.
14.36% - I feel secure - fraud with online shopping doesn't happen very often.

- 2,945 respondents with a margin of error of +/- 1.81 percent. “Because of the continued data breaches, phishing attacks, and security vulnerabilities, that get reported on almost every day, consumers have every right to not feel 100 percent safe while they shop online,” said Sorin Mustaca, data security expert from Avira. “I recommend that consumers watch for a few things in order to not become a victim of the online fraudsters:

Always check that the connection to the online store where the payment is done is secured. This can be observed first if the URL is starting with “https” and second if a small lock is present in the top left corner of the browser in the URL field (in Chrome) or the name of the website is written in a colored rectangle(in Firefox,IE).

Forbrugerne tænker på sikkerheden, når de publicerer feriebilleder online

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 09:00:00 +0200

Tettnang, Tyskland, August 15 2011 – Et stort flertal af computerbrugere skriver ikke ferieerindringer via sociale netværk, kommer en nylig undersøgelse foretaget af it-sikkerhedsekspert Avira frem til. Ved en undersøgelse i juni 2011 af Aviras egne kunder kom det frem, at overvældende 64% af respondenterne – enten ikke bruger sociale netværk i nogen form til at offentliggøre ferie information (44%), eller de tager en bevidst beslutning om ikke at indsende nogen form for feriebilleder eller andre oplysninger via sociale netværk (20,7%). 22% af de adspurgte deler kun ferieoplysninger med deres nærmeste venner, mens 13% af de adspurgte sender alle typer af information og gør den tilgængelig for alle. Ferieoplysningsundersøgelsen blev præsenteret for Aviras hjemmesidebesøgende i løbet af juni, 2011: Sommertid er ferietid. Deler du dine ferieminder via sociale netværk? 44% - Nej, jeg bruger ikke sociale netværk. 20,7% - Nej, Hvor og når jeg er på ferie, har jeg ikke plads til nogen sociale netværk. 22,2% - Ja, men jeg deler kun udvalgt indhold med mine nærmeste venner. 13,1% - Ja, selvfølgelig gør jeg det. Alt fra forberedelse til ferien selv inklusive masser af fotos og måske en film. 2.559 respondenter med en fejlmargin på ± 1,94%. "Kampen for at beskytte personlige oplysninger sikkert nok er en vedvarende bekymring, så det er forfriskende at se, at de fleste af dem, der reagerede på vores ferieinformationsundersøgelse er kloge nok til ikke bare gavmildt at give oplysninger om, hvornår de er væk fra deres hjem eller hvor de er på vej hen, "sagde Travis Witteveen, COO Market & Operations fra Avira. "Vi ved, at de onde jagter nettet efter personlige oplysninger, der kan udnyttes, så der er en god portion sund fornuft i at sige 'nej' til at give for mange personlige oplysninger på sociale netværkssider."

Astaro Security Gateway Version 8.2 Establishes A New Generation of UTM

Mon, 08 Aug 2011 10:00:00 +0200

2011/08/10

Wilmington, MA - Astaro, (www.astaro.com) a Sophos company and leading Unified Threat Management provider, today announced the availability of version 8.2 of the Astaro Security Gateway. Chief amongst the over 60 new features or enhancements in version 8.2 are Application Control (Next Generation Firewall), Interactive Web Reporting and a new authentication agent. All together the new features and enhancements will dramatically improve network performance while providing increased visibility and control over the network. The new features and enhancements in version 8.2 provide organizations with the resources they need to meet the ever-changing challenges of securing a business network. The increased control and visibility will allow organizations to make better decisions based on the company’s unique needs and network usage trends. "As technology changes, so too must the tools organizations use to control their networks," said Jan Hichert, senior vice president, network security, Sophos. "With version 8.2 we once again ensure our customers can face current and future network and security challenges by offering the next generation of firewall technology; Application Control." Some of the new features include:

Astaro’s Application Control improves network visibility, blocks unwanted applications and empowers IT administrators to prioritize bandwidth usage. This information can then be used to make educated decisions that will have the most impact on the business; molding their security policy to precisely fit how their company uses the Internet. The new engine is up to 100% faster than the IM/P2P control engine in previous versions.
The enhanced Interactive Web Reporting tool provides administrators with a superior user experience tailored to how they expect to see data and towards the information they are looking for. Administrators will be able to save customer filters and subscribe to periodical mail reports.
The Authentication Agent allows administrators to authenticate users by name instead of IP address. This provides increased control over access in profiles and makes reports easier to read.

The Astaro Security Gateway version 8.2 includes over 60 other enhancements or new features. These include, support for 3G/UMTS USB modems, Form Hardening for Web Application Security, Web Filtering Safe Search Enforcement, enhanced virtualization support, increased IPS performance by up to 250%, SNMP v3, weighted balancing for WAN Uplink and server load balancing, group-in-group support for network groups, SSID to Access Point assignment, rebootless reconfiguration of Access Points, VPN performance increases by up to 100% and more. Additional information about features and enhancements can be found here: www.astaro.com/blog/up2date/ASG8200.
