Oslo, 15 January 2004

Norman ASA., the leading provider of antivirus and content security solutions, today announced that it has received the "Runs with Lotus Domino" certification from Lotus and is promoted in the Global Solutions Directory, a global solutions showcase of all IBM® PartnerWorld® partner solutions. This achievement reinforces Norman’s ability to deliver simple, easily deployable and manageable antivirus solutions that perform exceptionally in data-intensive Lotus Notes® and Domino environments.

Norman Virus Control for Lotus Domino is a virus scanner that integrates with Lotus Domino to ensure that business critical information is efficiently protected and data is checked for viruses, trojans, and other malicious code.

With Norman Virus Control for Lotus Domino, users gain continuous protection of Lotus Notes databases while in use, with secure data and transactional integrity. A robust and automated process safely scans data for malicious code in the Lotus databases.

Norman Virus Control for Lotus Domino enables Administrators responsible for a Lotus enterprise environment to manage a growing messaging and collaboration infrastructure in a secure way. Norman offers a highly available and scalable antivirus solution that also includes the Norman patent-pending SandBox v.2 technology for additional security of Lotus Domino server data.

Norman’s SandBox technology makes it possible to catch viruses and other malicious software before virus signatures have been released. The Norman SandBox technology represents a milestone in non-signature based detection of new, unknown viruses. This unique technology stops and quarantines the malware attacking the machine based on its behaviors even before any virus signature file is created for this specific threat.

“We are very pleased to receive this certification mark," says President and CEO, Henning Hansen at Norman ASA. This achievement reinforces Norman’s track record of delivering secure, flexible, and manageable antivirus software that fully leverages an entire IT infrastructure, from the workstations and mobile users to servers and gateways.
