WALLDORF, Germany, May 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BowBridge Software, a leading provider of content security solutions for SAP® applications, and IT-security expert McAfee join forces to protect business-critical infrastructure from malware and other content security threats.
As enterprises continue to expose their applications to the Internet in order to support the growing need for mobility and streamlined business processes, the risk of storing virus and malware infected content in the database increases. Furthermore, content based attacks, such as cross-site-scripting (XSS), active content in data files, and hybrid "chameleon"-files can compromise web-applications.
BowBridge solutions explicitly shield from these threats. AntiVirus Bridge for SAP solutions automatically scans uploads into SAP applications for file-format anomalies, scripts, hidden content and of course viruses and malware, leveraging the McAfee VirusScan engine embedded in the product. The new version 3.0 of AntiVirus Bridge integrates with SAP NetWeaver® Application Server (ABAP® or Java) and is fully configurable from within SAP tools, to facilitate deployment and monitoring.
"We are delighted to have gained McAfee as a partner," says Michele Vierra, business development manager North America for BowBridge. "Customers worldwide trust the McAfee brand and its proven track record in helping secure all types of IT-infrastructures."
"McAfee's security expertise combined with BowBridge's solutions for SAP software complement each other very well," says Tom Moore, vice president of Worldwide OEM Sales at McAfee. "Customers who want to secure their business-critical data from malware and threats will get the best of both worlds."
AntiVirus Bridge version 3.0 for SAP solutions, with an embedded McAfee VirusScan engine, is scheduled to be available on several platforms in the third quarter of 2012.
To learn more about the benefits of this new partnership, visit BowBridge in booth 216c at the SAPPHIRE® NOW and ASUG Annual Conference being held May 14-16 in Orlando.
