In many ways, yes. They have a round-the-clock team watching honeypots for new outbreaks and updating rules accordingly. SA is much more retroactive than that. However I think SA probably will gain the edge over Brightmail sooner or later (we consider them our main competitor in this area, so I guess I won't be able to lie down on the job if we're worse than them), simply because we have the kick-ass open source community behind us. It's certainly an interesting contrast to our anti-virus business where it's all a hush-hush private club...
