eTrust Antivirus Provides Virus and Malicious Code Protection

As today’s eBusinesses extend beyond the traditional enterprise, customers, partners, suppliers and buyers must be assured a safe and trusted environment to process transactions. The increased threat of dangerous viruses, worms and malicious code put an eBusiness at more risk than ever. Sending and receiving email, sharing files, utilizing online resources and conducting real-time transactions are common activities that can rapidly infect an unprotected environment. Computer virus attacks are responsible for the loss of billions of dollars and countless hours of lost productivity. According to ICSA Labs, computer virus incidents have increased over fifty percent in the last five years. To make matters worse, new threats and their variants are appearing every day.

To secure their infrastructures, organizations need to implement effective network security policies that include an antivirus solution. The ideal antivirus solution must be easy to manage, offer advanced functionality and protect all mission-critical systems.

Superior Virus and Malicious Code Protection

eTrust Antivirus provides comprehensive, real-time virus protection for your entire enterprise—across all critical systems—by continually detecting and curing potentially damaging viruses. Sophisticated dual virus-scanning engines provide double the virus protection from one management console. With its superior management features and deployment flexibility, eTrust Antivirus eases virus protection administration and helps ensure the latest protection. “Risk Zones” allow administrators to organize client machines by department or geographic location. A one-step “Virus Block” locks down contaminated files across the enterprise. Incremental updates allow you to download the latest signatures without overburdening the network. And policy-based information identifies and isolates malicious code at the perimeter.

eTrust Antivirus delivers comprehensive virus protection from the PDA to the gateway. In addition, it offers unique benefits to help your organization:

• Reduce risk and costly downtime. Certified to detect 100% of “in-the-wild” viruses and backed by eTrust TARGET, eTrust Antivirus helps prevent virus outbreaks from causing revenue loss, costly downtime or lost customer confidence. eTrust Antivirus also scans for viruses and other malicious code at the perimeter, before they can cause network damage.

• Lower the cost of ownership. eTrust Antivirus eases virus protection administration with automated maintenance, extensive alerting mechanisms and flexible deployment facilities. Administrators can prevent dangerous gaps in virus protection through centrally managed policy enforcement.

• Enable trusted Internet use. A virus-free network allows you to confidently deploy network services and embrace Internet resources without the fear of virus threats.

Distinctive Functionalities

Double the Protection. Dual scanning engines provide double the virus protection from one administrative console. The engines process data in real time to search out and eliminate viruses. In addition, they scan file systems during pre-scheduled and off-peak hours to help ensure maximum antivirus protection.

Superior Manageability. The multi-tiered architecture and hierarchical organization of eTrust Antivirus provide deployment flexibility and powerful management tools to administer antivirus protection throughout your enterprise. These management tools include: central, policy-based management of antivirus clients and the Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes/Domino groupware options; web-based administration; support for roaming users; one-step “Virus Block;” policy lockdown; and remote uninstall and install.

Efficient Signature Update Distribution. Incremental signature updates help ensure up-to-the-minute virus protection. When a signature distribution server is unavailable, antivirus clients automatically look for the next available signature distribution server for acquiring the latest signature. This is beneficial for users who travel or take equipment home, as the antivirus client will connect to the external CA server when internal servers are not available.

Scanning for Viruses, Malicious Content, Keywords and Attachments at the Perimeter. Support for SMTP, FTP, HTTP and POP3 provides protection from email-borne threats, web downloads and file transfers before they can cause network damage.

Backed by the Trusted Security Expertise of eTrust TARGET. eTrust TARGET is a global network of rapid response centers that provides around-the-clock support in the battle against viruses, worms, Trojans and other forms of malicious code. eTrust Antivirus constantly updates new threats as they are discovered.

Certified by Industry Experts. eTrust Antivirus is certified to detect 100% of “in-the-wild” viruses by ICSA Labs, West Coast Labs and Virus Bulletin.

Flexible Reporting. Using the Report Builder, LDAP or any ODB Compliant tool, powerful reports can be created to provide important information on the status of an antivirus implementation.

Centralized Event Logging and Alerting. A centralized log of all virus events, including files checked, viruses found and responses taken, helps simplify administration. Messages can also be forwarded to eTrust Audit for inclusion in enterprise reports.
