Sophos Mobile Security-"managing mobile devices like a computer ..."

With the rapid development of mobile trends, a number of large corporate users, including telecoms operators, are looking for a partner or developing some software for their corporate customers, and more and more of these technologies or products will be marketed in the coming years. Zhongminghui, general manager of Sophos China, said that at present in the domestic market in this field Sophos also see too many competitors.

MDM (mobile terminal management or mobile terminal control), more and more companies will move their business to mobile devices (ipad, iphone, Android, etc.) in the future, Zhongminghui said Sophos SMC software helps companies manage their mobile devices as much as they used to manage their laptops or computers in order to control more and more mobile devices into the enterprise applications.

More and more users begin to use their mobile devices directly office, but the Enterprise management of mobile devices is still in the initial stage, for the enterprise confidential information such as internal mail can not be effective control. Sophos SMC can help users solve this problem, help them manage these mobile devices, see if their own mobile devices are out of prison, be consistent with the company's security policies, and so on.

Liao Weizhi, general manager of Sophos Greater China, said that the future of mobile device security will also be placed in the Sophos overall security strategy, as a Sophos terminal product. We will be the Enterprise user's mobile device into the enterprise IT system to unify security, this is our future direction.

Sophos Cloud Security-"cloud security is a psychological problem, but also a technical problem ..."

Why the current cloud computing is very hot but actually landed very little, Sophos Enterprise user Sales Director Zhaofeng said the main reason is security, the security of the cloud is both psychological and technical problems. Cloud computing integrates all the business of the enterprise and then puts it into a unified server that forms a green it. However, the cloud is facing the problem of the first is the role of the problem, psychological problems are a role, such as in the enterprise in the past you are the management of OA or ERP, that in the cloud environment of the two departments to do integration, that security departments how to integrate it? In fact, many of the security solutions are actually just preparing for cloud computing, with no more hands-on experience in cloud computing, so half the psychological concern in the cloud security sector is management concern.

In introducing the technical issues facing cloud security, Zhaofeng the case of the Pudong Bank, Pu FA Bank to move production systems to the virtual system, moving the same time facing a primary problem is the management of the problem: in the past each one, now is a person to put all the pipe up, and after the entire management structure landed, The first thing to consider is security, cloud security first step to build what? Like the beginning of the 2000 we bought a computer with a lot of applications, the first concern is the virus. In fact, the first step of Pu FA Bank is to consider how to detect the virus in the cloud? Is there any change in virus software on the virtual platform? The second problem is that different private clouds are less concerned about security. For example, when a private cloud provides more external services, he cares only about the cloud's application, and then the security in the cloud.

Sophos Development Process-"three-year time has grown 5-6 times ..."

From just entering China, only the enterprise anti-virus, with the development of the domestic agent in recent years Sophos more attention to the data security market, including this year is focused on the UTM products, as well as the future of cloud security, mobile Equipment security. With the richness of the product, Sophos can target more users. Zhongminghui says Sophos has grown 5-6 times in the 3-year period.

Zhongminghui said, "Absolute integration is Sophos's biggest advantage, UTM plus endpoint protection is a very good integration, the normal UTM and protection is completely two sets of things, but the concept of Sophos is to expand from the endpoint to the boundary, and then expand into the cloud, so we need to put a few products really integrated.

There is a lot of customer demand for personalization right now, with the mention of a public cloud or a private cloud, and the whole process of it rebuilding is not the same as it used to be. These personalized requirements only software companies can be faster to meet, the future of security is such a situation, so sophos in the personalized demand more and more such a background will be very promising.
