Panda Security Launches Cloud Office Protection Advanced 6.5 Beta

Panda
Security S.L. announced the beta release of version
6.50 of Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced, a cloud-based
endpoint security solution with protection for Exchange server.

Main features include:

• URL filtering: Proactive
  detection

The technology and reporting
capabilities allow visibility into end-user Internet activity and
productivity. It enables administrators to create URL blacklists and
whitelists, and blocks access to URLs belonging to prohibited
categories, such as sex, gaming, etc.

• Anti-exploit technology: Detects
  and neutralizes malware that exploits 0-day vulnerabilities to infect
  the PC.

This technology leverages the company’s
collective technology to block blackhole and redkit exploit malware
by analyzing its behavior. The solution is capable of detecting
malware variants before they have been identified.

• Compatible with Exchange Server
  2013:

The beta release is compatible with
Exchange Server 2013, as well as with Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit)
and Windows 2012 Server.

The service which was launched last
June, features Exchange Server protection that scans all inbound and
outbound email regardless of the protocol used. The software has a
mailbox scanner that optimizes server resource usage, and
incorporates anti-spam protection and Device Control technologies
designed to prevent the spread of malware through the improper use of
external devices.

The service also includes Malware
Freezer, a module that ‘freezes’ detected malware for seven days by
placing it in quarantine. This tool ensures system stability,
restoring false positive files.

Along with the release of the beta,
Panda also announced the launch of a competition to reward its beta
testers. The ten users suggesting the most helpful improvements to
Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced will each receive a $100
Amazon.com gift certificate.
