Erenis chooses F-Secure anti-virus and firewall services for its subscribers
F-Secure, a leading European antivirus and intrusion prevention
software vendors has signed an agreement with the French operator
Erenis to offer hosted security services to its customers.
Erenis, which develops VDLS telecommunications services, is
currently deploying a new network with high bandwidth, relying on
optical fibre and the use of VDSL in the Paris region. It is
considered a forerunner in the provision of high speed Internet
connections.
Frederic Boutissou,General Manager at Erenis, said: "Every
another Erenis customer subscribes to a very fast Internet access,
without always being aware of the increasing risks which rise from
an always-on connection," adding: "The fast antivirus service
offered by F-Secure, responds to our subscribers needs. Moreover,
this solution includes an effective parental control making it
possible to have safe Internet connections for children."
Erenis will be offering its subscribers two security package
options, the first including antivirus and firewall protection with
the second offering these services plus a parental control
solution.
Speaking about the Erenis deal, Alexandre Durante, General
Manager at F-Secure France said: "France has one of the highest
penetration rates for broadband connections in Europe, and
therefore a great number of users are vulnerable to the threats and
the dangers present on Internet today. Jointly with Erenis,
F-Secure can now bring a complete security solution to the French
market, including antivirus, a firewall, an anti-spam and a
parental control service. We believe that this service will
contribute to increase the competitiveness of Erenis, which can now
provide its users acknowledged security solutions."
