Description
Antivirus protection alone is not a sufficient defense against today's complex Internet security threats. One breed of threats blend characteristics of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and malicious code with server and Internet vulnerabilities. By using multiple methods and techniques, blended threats such as Code Red, Bugbear, and Opaserv can rapidly initiate, transmit, and spread, causing widespread damage. The newest breed of security risks includes adware and spyware, which can take control of computers without user permission or knowledge.
Effective protection from security risks requires a security solution that integrates multiple layers of defense and response mechanisms. This solution includes the management tools that simplify the collection of data and reporting of security events. Symantec Client Security is an integrated security solution that combines a firewall, intrusion prevention, antivirus protection, security-risk protection, endpoint compliance, and reporting capabilities. From a single management console, Symantec Client Security provides a comprehensive view of network security and rapid response to security threats.
Key Features:
* Tight integration between firewall and antivirus functionality. If the firewall detects an incoming or outgoing file at the client level, Symantec AntiVirus automatically scans the file for viruses even if Auto-Protect is disabled;
* Automated security-risk protection against unwanted adware and spyware;
* Tight integration between the intrusion prevention system and firewall. If the intrusion prevention system detects an intrusion at the client level, it tells the firewall to block the offending IP address;
* An enterprise-level view of workstation security, with tools enabling a rapid, integrated response to security problems across a network;
* Security policy enforcement at the client level, which includes the endpoint compliance policies that ensure your clients are protected before they gain access to your network. Administrators can create, deploy, and lock down security policies and settings to keep systems up to date and properly configured at all times;
* Simplified security threat response through centralized updating of antivirus and security risk definitions and firewall policy files;
* Reporting capabilities that simplify collecting data, analyzing risk trends, and creating reports of security events from your entire network;
* Simplified management. Antivirus, firewall, reporting, intrusion prevention, and endpoint compliance are installed, configured, and updated from the same management console. The central management console enables administrators to audit the network, identify unprotected nodes, and apply the appropriate security protection before a threat occurs.
