...So what is Panda Managed Office Protection?

Antivirus products require too much time and effort for small and medium sized companies

SMBs fully understand that they face the same risks and regulations as large organizations.

The increasing number of threats makes their protection requirements more complex. In many cases, their limited resources are not enough for accomplishing high level security.

SMBs have to invest in additional hardware and supporting software licenses as well as security skilled personnel who are not focused on their core business.

Panda Managed Office Protection is specially designed for organizations that do not want to deal with these hassles.
 

The Solution: Panda Managed Office Protection

Panda Managed Office Protection is a web-based subscription service that removes the cost and management overheads of hardware, additional security skilled personnel and other resources dedicated to antivirus for SMBs

As a Hosted Service, it provides an always on and easy to use web console which allows organizations to manage their protection anytime from anywhere, reducing complexity to the minimum. Since Panda Managed Office Protection can be installed and managed remotely it can also be the ideal solution for branch offices of large organizations which are not connected to the LAN, without additional infrastructure investments.

It offers Security as a Service for SMBs via the web and through a management portal that enables SMBs to delegate, if desired, their security management to a Service Provider.

Panda Managed Office Protection is complemented with in-depth malware audits benefiting from Panda’s unique Collective Intelligence Technologies.
