Panda Software to launch two new solutions at CeBIT 2002

Panda PerimeterScan and Panda Antivirus Enterprise Suite harness the most advanced technology to protect corporate networks from all types of malware

MADRID, March 17 2002

For the seventh year running, Panda Software will be taking part in the CeBIT trade fair, on Stand G35 - Pavilion 6, until March 20 in Hannover (Germany). This years event will witness the international launch of Panda Antivirus Enterprise Suite and Panda PerimeterScan, unique corporate antivirus solutions that will revolutionize the concept of enterprise-wide protection.

The most technologically advanced solution for corporate networks, Panda Antivirus Enterprise Suite provides complete, real-time protection for workstations, firewalls, proxy servers, file servers and e-mail servers. Panda PerimeterScan guarantees the security of the entire corporate perimeter including firewalls, SMTP gateways and proxy servers under any platforms, preventing malicious code from entering or leaving the network.

During CeBIT 2002, Panda Software will also finalize agreements with international companies, as part of an expansion plan focused on reinforcing its presence in Latin America, former Soviet-bloc countries and Southeast Asia. Representatives from the 40 plus countries in which the company has offices are also expected to attend the trade fair. "Due to its track record and characteristics", says José Mª Hernández, Vice-President of International Expansion at Panda Software, "CeBIT is an opportunity not to be missed and a chance to consolidate international growth and present our solutions to the largest possible number of sector professionals."

Since 1996, when Panda Software took part for the first time in CeBIT, the company has advanced at all levels. The Europe-wide organization, GrowthPlus, selected Panda as one of the fastest-growing and most job-creating companies. From 1995 to 2000, the number of employees increased by more than 2,500 percent. Turnover has increased at a similar rate; last years results were 44 percent up on the previous year. Panda Softwares global expansion has also been relentless. The company has subsidiaries in France, USA and China and is represented exclusively in Germany by Mr. Byte. With an international presence that includes Canada, UK and Italy, Panda has offices in more than 40 countries and its products are sold in more than 150 countries.

CeBIT is considered the most important IT trade fair in the world. Last year, the event attracted over 8,015 exhibitors from over 60 countries, figures that are expected to be beaten this year.
