Case study: SpaceNet AG
SpaceNet AG is an independent internet service provider (ISP). The company provides a wide range of web solutions: from fast internet access to the programming of web applications. To protect customers' email accounts from viruses, SpaceNet uses I-Sec Mail. The core of the application utilises Sophos's virus engine, which has been integrated with I-Sec Mail using SAV Interface (part of Email Security and Control).
“We are very happy that we have found such a competent and cooperative partner in the anti-virus sector.”
Sebastian von Bomhard, company founder and chairman of the board

Business challenge
- SpaceNet intended that I-Sec Mail would be an application service provider solution. So the company looked not only for anti-virus software, but also for a virus scanner that could best serve as the foundation of the application.
Technology solution
- Sophos Anti-Virusprovided high-quality virus protection with excellent performance.
- The Sophos Anti-Virus engine needed to be integrated with the "qmail" mailing program. This was carried out quickly and simply using SAV Interface. This allows the virus engine to be easily integrated with other third-party products.
Business results
- Sophos's 24/7 support means I-Sec Mail stays up to date at all times, and SpaceNet's customers are also pleased with the chosen anti-virus solution. No infected emails have found their way into the network.
