[sippo]

Thought I would start a new thread as it may get 'lost' in the other one.

 

Interesting.

Sophos response is a different answer to exactly the question that I asked in another thread.

Thanks sippo

 

We use Sophos AV and a server based console on a couple of sites. Although I'm thankful it doesn't seem to affect our Sophos products I'm shocked that a security company would rely on a protocol that, from recent reading, is grossly outdated, has been strongly advised against for a while, and clearly has the potential for problems.

Add to the fact that Sophos has let a few nasties slip through over the past couple of years, I'm seriously considering moving away from Sophos. In fact, one school has just shifted to BitDefender following a bad experience with Sophos.

 

Come on Sophos, up your game!
