A Quick Chat with Bytware
Last week, I touched base with Bytware's director of marketing, Christopher Jones, who says, "Bytware just released StandGuard Anti-Virus 6.0, the newest version of our native anti-virus for IBM i and all its ancestors. This version also brings with it the official availability of the Lotus Domino add-on with features designed to help administrators scan and manage Lotus Domino mail and databases."
Jones adds that Bytware has two new case studies, one of which cites "a head-turning scan result that found over 300 viruses in the IFS on i5/OS. People still don't believe that viruses can get onto IBM Power Systems, System i, iSeries, and all those other great systems. But here is a case where they certainly did." If you haven't scanned your IFS, this example should get you thinking about doing so.
Last but not least, Jones tells me that Bytware is about to release new episodes of its animated web series, MoshiMoshi. "Episode 3 will cover network security, and episode 4--the biggest thus far... a real "meaty" story--will feature the invasion of viruses into the Moshi Moshi offices. Hal will save the day with native anti-virus on IBM i."
