Security Component to Getronics 3D
(February 23)

Getronics and WholeSecurity announced a partnership to implement managed
desktop security solution with "zero-hour" protection against Trojan
horses and worms. To be part of the Getronics 3D suite of solutions,

software, hardware and the network.

WholeSecurity's Confidence Online Enterprise Edition takes a behavior-
based approach to detect and neutralize worms as Bagel-A, Blaster,
Bugbear, MiMail, SoBig and Fizzer.
