Virus Protection
SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
Symantec AntiVirus
™
Corporate Edition
Comprehensive virus protection for enterprise workstations and network servers
Enterprise-wide virus protection is now a core business requirement due to the increasing frequency
of rapidly spreading, destructive viruses. However, virus protection at the firewall and email gateway
alone does not provide sufficient protection. Comprehensive virus protection at the workstation and
network server tiers is needed to ensure system uptime and user productivity.
Symantec AntiVirus™ Corporate Edition provides scalable, cross-platform virus protection for
workstations and network servers throughout the enterprise to ensure system uptime and
user productivity.
√ New features in this release
• EXPANDED THREAT MANAGEMENT detects unwanted applications such as spyware and
adware, identifies the source of blended threat attacks that spread via open file shares,
and terminates suspect processes in memory before they cause damage.
•ENHANCED EMAIL PROTECTION prevents client systems from spreading worms via email, and
also scans Internet email attachments delivered through POP3 mail clients.
• ENHANCED REMOTE USER PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT ensures systems are in full
compliance with corporate policy prior to accessing corporate network resources and allows
machines not connected to the network to store and forward event data to the management
server after reconnecting.
√ Centralized configuration and management
The Symantec System Center™ management console enables centralized configuration, deploy-
ment, policy management and reporting,* and can manage hundreds of thousands of nodes.
• CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES enable IT administrators to manage individual
users and functional groups of users and create, deploy, and lock down policies and settings.
All workstation and network server settings can be locked down so users cannot change them,
or administrators can configure and monitor workstations and network servers via the
management console.
•AUTOMATIC VIRUS REPAIRS AND ALERTS when a virus is detected. A repair is automatically launched
and an alert is broadcast to the IT administrator via the Symantec System Center console.
•FAST RESPONSE TO THREATS Administrators can force a LiveUpdate session to occur immedi-
ately 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 associ-
ated with the Symantec System Center. The management server can be scheduled to automati-
cally 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.
• NETWORK AUDIT FEATURE enables administrators to 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.
* Available at additional cost.
