The Ministry of Education has implemented a new online virus detection solution for 35,000 PC terminal users in response to rapidly increasing malware volumes. The ministry has adopted the antivirus for Windows Workstation of Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, to beef up its network security and reduce vulnerability and exposure to hackers, spam and virus.
"The detection rates of the previous vendor's solution could not keep up with the rate of infections and the Ministry of Education took the decision to identify a new solution to resolve the issue at endpoint level," said the ministry's spokesperson Ali bin Suleiman al Hinai. "We chose Kaspersky Lab because of its high detection rates of viruses and the solution's ability to perform with the minimum resources possible. Our tests of Kaspersky Lab's product on one of our live servers showed that it detected and removed more malware than any other solutions we tried.
