• Integration with Dr Solomon's ePolicy Orchestrator management software.
Centralized anti-virus management takes a quantum leap forward with
this highly scalable management tool. Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus ships with
a plug-in library file that works with the ePolicy Orchestrator server to
enforce enterprise-wide network security policies.
You can use ePolicy Orchestrator to configure, update, distribute and
manage Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus installations at the group, workstation or
user level. Schedule and run scan tasks, change configurations, update
.DAT and engine files—all from a central console.
Taken together, the Active Virus Defense suite forms a tight series of anti-virus
security perimeters around your network that protect you against both
external and internal sources of infection. Those perimeters, correctly
configured and implemented in conjunction with a clear enterprise-wide
anti-virus security policy, do indeed offer useful redundancy, but their chief
benefit lies in their ability to stop viruses as they enter your network, without
your having to await a tardy or accidental discovery. Early detection contains
infections, saves on the costs of virus eradication, and in many cases can
prevent a destructive virus payload from triggering.
Dr Solomon's anti-virus research
Even the best anti-virus software is only as good as its latest update. Because
as many as 200 to 300 viruses and variants appear each month, the .DAT files
that enable Dr Solomon's software to detect and remove viruses can get
quickly outdated. If you have not updated the files that originally came with
your software, you could risk infection from newly emerging viruses. Dr
Solomon's has, however, assembled the world's largest and most experienced
anti-virus research staff in its Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team
(AVERT)*. This premier anti-virus research organization has a worldwide
reach and a "follow the sun" coverage policy, that ensures that you get the files
you need to combat new viruses as soon as—and often before—you need
them. You can take advantage of many of the direct products of this research
by visiting the AVERT research site on the Network Associates website:
