Foursys - protecting your network from threats

Sophos security products are widely used with approximately 50% of all Councils  New Local Government Framework Pricing

This year more than ever is about cost savings, return on investment, and efficiency right across the Public Sector. With excellent vendor relationships (Sophos Public Sector Partner of the Year 2010, Websense top partner reseller 2010), Foursys is able to leverage the best licensing options for you. Coupled with a comprehensive Professional Services portfolio, Foursys can provide the best options to improve security from existing products, whilst ensuring best practice and a coherent strategy moving forwards.  Our aim is to make your organisation more secure, whilst providing the best value possible.

Foursys frequently provides ongoing cost savings by reviewing licences whilst looking to increase coverage across areas such as web filtering (especially web 2.0), encryption, email filtering, and data leakage prevention.

We will look at consolidating licences across all areas, for example using the same vendor for multiple areas such as email, web, encryption, endpoint, DLP etc can often offer large commercial savings.  For example working closely with vendors to look at options for merging your corporate and education LEA licences to take advantage of larger buying power and hence lower costs.

Foursys has also worked with Sophos to introduce a Scottish Government Framework for individually purchasing Sophos licences at substantial discounts.

Annual Health Check contracts

As security products have become more complex over the past few years, it has become crucial to make sure they are configured and managed properly, reporting effectively and providing as much security as appropriate.  With resource always tight, but workloads still increasing, many Councils are turning to Foursys take the headache out of this problem. During a healthcheck Foursys will optimise products with a written report containing further recommendations if necessary.  This helps with audits too, as an external specialist has reviewed your security systems to make sure all is well. From an ongoing support point of view, Foursys then has proper knowledge of your setup and network and this makes it much easier to resolve any future issues.
