They operate in over 132 countries worldwide and are involved in the development of local communities, through creation of educational, medical and social facilities. SOS Children’s Villages has chosen Panda Security for Business, Panda’s endpoint security solution for work stations and fi le servers, to protect its server as well as its 500 computers, in over 10 countries. Panda Security for Business was chosen for its simplifi ed coverage of a whole network via a console (which allows users to manage protection from a single point) as well as its centralised updates. This allows SOS Children’s Villages to rest at ease while navigating their Sponsorship Software, admin and accounting. SOS also noted that in their research they found that Panda had been noted as the most effi cient antivirus program in the world, and that their cost of computer maintenance was reduced by half. “Before Panda Security, our employees had tried many sharewares to solve computer security problems. It was not easy because after one month trial, security problems arose. Then we decided to shift to a professional computer security program,” says Salimane Issifou, the Application Administrator at SOS. He convinced his regional office to purchase the software for the organisation not only for Benin, where he is based, but also in other West and Central Africa countries. Today, Panda software is used in SOS Children’s Villages in more than ten countries including Benin, Rwanda, Chad, Togo and others. Although they had some initial problems surrounding the installation, they were quickly solved. “The overall impression of Panda is very positive. For us, Panda is the best antivirus program in the industry”, assures Mr Issifou.
