Client Security
Threat protection through integrated antivirus, firewall, and intrusion detection for
remote, mobile, and networked client systems
√
The need for integrated client security
Mobile and remote users increasingly need access to the enterprise network, requiring organisations
to protect critical business assets that reside on networked and remote client systems. Many
organisations rely on point products dispersed throughout the enterprise, which provide inadequate
protection and are costly to implement and manage. For instance, blended threats (such as Nimda,
Code Red, and Blaster) are difficult to prevent because they are designed to elude the security
products commonly deployed across the perimeter of today’s enterprises. In addition, security
administrators are challenged to identify and respond to legitimate threats in real time because
these products lack centralised management capabilities.
Symantec Client Security provides integrated antivirus, firewall, and intrusion detection capabilities
managed through a central console to proactively protect against today's evolving blended threats.
√
Integrated security management
Integrated security management via the Symantec
™
System Center offers a comprehensive view of
virus protection, firewall, and intrusion detection. Management capabilities include:
•
CENTRALISED MANAGEMENT FROM A SINGLE CONSOLE:
Using Symantec System Center,
administrators can configure, install, manage, and update client virus protection, firewall, and
intrusion detection functions—and configure, implement and enforce corporate network
policies—from one management console. Administrators can also install Symantec Client
Security and easily move clients between management servers from the central management
console. Centralised logging and alerting for each of the integrated technologies help
transform security data into actionable information. Manageable content enforcement
ensures systems have the latest client security content updates.
•
CLIENT SECURITY POLICY CREATION AND DEPLOYMENT:
Merge policy file feature merges firewall
rules, helping administrators avoid manual integration or creation of new rules. A policy
test button enables client firewall policies to function as created when deployed. Three
pre-configured firewall policies are included: standard, remote, and hardened. Administrators
can configure and lock down antivirus and client firewall policies to control such activities as
when the real-time scanner is turned on; what occurs when a virus, worm, or Trojan is
detected; and what end-user interaction with the product is permissible, to name a few.
•
SYMANTEC VPN SENTRY:
Allows the administrator to ensure that mobile and remote systems
connecting to corporate resources via VPN and login script are compliant with security
policies. Specifically, it checks to ensure that antivirus software is installed and real-time
protection is turned on; virus definitions are up-to-date; and the client firewall is installed,
enabled, and follows appropriate policy. The administrator can also create policies though the
VPN server that allow non-compliant systems to gain access to network resources that help
address compliancy issues.
