BitDefender to defend Linux operating systems

Under the agreements, BitDefender Security for Mail Servers and BitDefender Security for Samba will be available on Red Hat’s ISV catalogue and on Novell’s Technology Partners' website.

Furthermore, the partnership will enable BitDefender’s security products to function on Red Hat Enterprise Linux as well as Novell’s SuSE Linux Enterprise.

According to Alexandru Balan, Linux product manager at BitDefender, Red Hat and Novell are the two largest Linux distributors in the world and through these new technology partnerships BitDefender is now a preferred provider of security solutions for the Linux community.

“Gaining approval from Novell and Red Hat further assures our customers that BitDefender is committed to making compliance a top priority,” Balan said.

Balan added: “We have designed our software to be fully POSIX compliant, automatically integrating with all the most popular mail servers and packaged for all the major Linux distributors, as well as FreeBSD.”
