Ukrainian providers keep on discovering the benefits of the SaaS-based model of using security software for themselves and their customers. The Dr.Web AV-Desk Internet service designed by the Russian company Doctor Web attracts more and more adherents among companies seeking to provide their users with convenient and popular services. Among those companies is ISP Axon of Lugansk region, whose subscribers are not only individuals, but legal entities as well.

Before they started providing the Dr.Web Anti-virus service to end-users, ISP Axon experts conducted internal testing, which demonstrated the stability and efficiency of the service. With the deployment of Dr.Web AV-Desk, ISP Axon customers could also evaluate the benefits of SaaS-capable technologies — as subscribers of the Dr.Web Anti-virus service. They now had an opportunity to purchase a licensed anti-virus in installments, paying monthly for a subscription with Internet access. At the same time, they do not need to register a license by entering the serial number because they can activate their subscription with several "clicks" in their account area of the ISP Axon website.

"Our subscribers have told us that the main advantages of using the Dr.Web Anti-virus service are the parental control feature and the anti-spam module which allow them to maximize “family” protection for their computers. Combined with the lower cost compared to boxed versions, these features very quickly created high demand among our customers for the service", said Andrei Kumanikin, ISP Axon Director.

About the Dr.Web AV-Desk Internet service

Doctor Web was the first anti-virus vendor to offer an anti-virus as a service on the Russian market.

The deployment of Dr.Web AV-Desk lets a service provider’s subscribers use the Dr.Web Anti-virus as a service: they can choose how long they want to subscribe, renew their subscriptions automatically, and that means, they can decide for themselves how much they want to spend on anti-virus security. Providing an anti-virus as a service ensures its instant delivery and easy subscription management for home users and business customers. The Dr.Web AV-Desk Internet service was created by Doctor Web in 2007. Today, the number of service providers delivering the Dr.Web AV-Desk service in different regions of Russia and in the Ukraine, France, Spain, Netherlands, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria and Estonia exceeds 250. Following results shown by the service in 2007, Dr.Web AV-Desk was named “best product offered as a service” by PC Magazine Russia. In September 2008, Dr.Web AV-Desk was awarded the Grand Gold Medal for “most original scientific and technical solution in communications technology” at the ITE Siberian Fair.
