Symantec CLIENT SECURITY 10246445-IN Manual Do Utilizador

•

LOGICAL GROUP MANAGEMENT:

Administrators can create and manage logical groupings of

clients and servers within server groups, or multiple logical groups from a single parent server.

This is especially useful for organizations that need to handle similar functional entities (such

as departments or business units) in the same way, reducing the infrastructure cost.

•

INSTALLATION AND MIGRATION:

Symantec Client Security now includes a new Microsoft Installer

that provides the ability to pre-configure antivirus, firewall, and intrusion detection component

installation packages. The installation footprint size has been reduced from 50 megabytes to

under 25 megabytes. Three pre-configured deployment options are available: fully-managed,

lightly-managed, and thin-client. In addition, a security software uninstaller minimizes the cost

of switching from a third-party antivirus product to Symantec Client Security.

•

CENTRALIZED NETWORK AUDITING:

Administrators can identify which nodes are unprotected and

vulnerable to virus attack, as well as those protected by Symantec AntiVirus, McAfee

®

VirusScan,

®

Trend Micro

™

Office Scan,

™

Computer Associates,

®

or other third-party antivirus products.

•

SCALABLE PROTECTION:

Administrators can manage hundreds of thousands of clients through

the Symantec System Center.

•

REDUCED COST OF OWNERSHIP:

By providing improved security administration, including 

centralized event management and response capabilities, Symantec Client Security eases the

administrative burden and helps lower the cost of managing security at the network, mobile,

and remote client level.

Symantec Client Security provides a common deployment and updating function for antivirus, 

firewall, and intrusion detection, helping to reduce the overhead, risk, and management of updates.

In addition, integrated response  enables enterprises to respond faster to security breaches and

virus outbreaks, improving the overall security posture of the network. Virus definitions, firewall

rules, and intrusion signatures are tested and verified by Symantec across the integrated 

technologies prior to distribution via a single response mechanism. The following features help

administrators respond rapidly to maximize containment and recovery:

•

INCORPORATION OF LEADING TECHNOLOGIES:

The Digital Immune System

™

automates the 

submission of potential virus threats and automatically delivers cures to the problem 

machine or the entire enterprise. The backend infrastructure consists of hardware resources, 

architectural design, and the latest scanning engines and Web crawlers.

•

STORE AND FORWARD ALERTS:

Store and Forward Alerts enable infected mobile user to store

event data and forward it to a management server after reconnecting to the corporate 

network, ensuring that critical event data is always available  to help transform security data

into actionable information.

•

FAST RESPONSE TO THREATS: 

Symantec Client Security allows administrators to force a

LiveUpdate session to occur immediately on single or multiple clients, minimizing response

time to fast-spreading threats. For even faster, automated response, push technology is 

incorporated into a management server associated with the Symantec System Center. The

management server can be scheduled to automatically retrieve virus content updates from

Symantec or from a central LiveUpdate Server. It then pushes these updates to secondary

servers that in turn push the updates to client systems.
