Recommendations: Anti-Virus (email and local PC), Anti-Spam, Web Filtering
Hi, all
I am looking for 'different' solutions for our current site AV, etc.
This is an easy question in that I'm looking for maybe 2 to 4 corporate level solutions (see subject title) that are taken seriously by industry.
Trend Micro supply our anti-spam (Messagelabs). Trend also supply our web filtering software (Websense) and PC-based AV (Trend Micro OfficeScan).
I'm receptive to a catch-all service as well as separation.
Can anyone make any recommendations (not from salespeople, of course!)?
I'll split the points if need be.
Thanks and hear from you soon.

The only way that your technicians could evade Websense is if it was not installed correctly. This applies for nearly all products.
@pressonj - WebSense is easily by-passed by a variety of methods - whether or not it is installed correctly. If you do a little research on the topic you will find that this is true (we cannot discuss specifics here on EE).
Not only does iPrism put a hardware block in place to manage web access - the best part from an Administrator's point of view is that any user can simply 'click a button' to request access to a blocked site, and then the Administrators can simply 'click a button' to allow it - permanently or just temporarily.
In the old days we called it "Infantry Simple", because even I could figure out how to manage it.

As of last year, Symantec was running licenses for EP, but you could still license 10.1.x from them. If you want to go the Symatnec route, call them or your VAR to check.

Thanks, all
No single answer, but the full range of comments has been really helpful.

Thanks for your input so far.
We are a large, 2-site, school. We have 2100+ students and 250 staff. We have around 700 networked PCs. We have some students who bring in their own laptops to access the few wireless APs we currently have installed (we are planning to go wireless on 1 site and, as a result, we are also investigating WLAN Controller access, etc)
Hope this helps.
PS: Points raised because of the help so far.
