As I've recommended Kaspersky for about a decade now, I'm interested in knowing your source. :-)
I know that the USA is less and less happy with Russia... But I've not found anything that even seems official... -----Original Message----- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Michael Leone Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2017 12:32 PM To: ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with? We use Kaspersky for our AV needs, and to be honest, it's worked out well for us. It's certainly caught things that McAfee, our previous AV solution, didn't. However, they have this slight problem with being a covert arm of the Russian government, apparently .. So we need to drop them, as the federal agencies are doing. There are lots of reviews, such as av-test.org, that we are looking at. But tell me, who do you have? And - more importantly - if you had your say in the matter, would you keep them? We're an sort of enterprise level organization, maybe 1K users, bunch of laptops issued to remote users. So far, all Win 7 for workstations, but obviously that will change in the future. Servers are all Win 2008/2012 R2 (so far). So we need something with a centralized console, to push out rules, updates, etc. We use Proofpoint as an email gateway, so it does mail scanning. We have Checkpoint firewalls for managing that sort of traffic. Thoughts? I know I've heard good things about ESET and Sophos, among others. Just soliciting some real world opinions, along with our own research.
