Centralized Enforcement of Security Policies
No longer can we categorize security issues as “virus” or
“hacker.” Today’s threats are a blend of the worst of both
worlds, and they cause billions of dollars in damage every year.
A problem of this magnitude demands a strictly managed,
blended defense—at the core of which is a security policy.

One of the most difficult aspects of implementing and
proactively managing a blended security policy is keeping
all systems updated with the latest anti-virus software. It is
simply too easy for a few workstations to slip through the
cracks of even the best automated update systems. ePolicy
Orchestrator’s detailed graphical reports allow administrators
to identify machines that are not being updated and get to
the bottom of the issue, before it leads to an outbreak.

Two Important Questions
In the fight against viruses, there are a lot of questions you
can ask, but there are really only two that matter. The first is
“Are we protected?” Answering this question tells you whether
protection is installed on all the machines on your network. It
tells you whether updates are happening according to sched-
ule. It is the first question you will ask yourself when you hear
about a virus outbreak on the television news. It’s the most
important question you can ask, because it cuts right to the
heart of what the war against viruses is all about: protection.

The second most important question is “Are we infected?”
Answering this question tells you whether you are winning the
war. If you know you are protected, but you haven’t asked your-
self whether you’re infected, you could be overlooking a major
source of virus infections. You don’t know, in short, whether your
anti-virus policy is doing what it is supposed to do: stop viruses.
