Antivirus for Linux

Overview

Linux is considered to be more secure than other operating systems. However, it’s increasingly a target of attackers, as Linux systems are used for critical roles like developer workstations, web servers and internal file servers. In addition to being susceptible to Linux-based and cross-platform exploits, unprotected Linux machines can also become distribution points for Windows, Mac, and Android malware.
Sophos Antivirus for Linux provides superior on-access, on-demand, and scheduled scanning for Linux servers and desktops. It delivers excellent performance, stability, and reliability to a wide range of Linux distributions.
