• Key Features and Benefits
Computer viruses are one of the most harmful threats to the
security of data on computers. While some viruses are harmless
pranks, other viruses can destroy data and pose a real threat.
The product provides an integrated, out-of-the-box ready security
solution with a strong real-time antivirus and riskware protection
and a host intrusion prevention (HIPS) functionality that provides
protection against unauthorized connection attempts from
network, unauthorized system modifications, userspace and
kernel rootkits. The solution can be easily deployed and managed
either using the web user interface or F-Secure Policy Manager.
F-Secure Policy Manager provides a tightly integrated
infrastructure for defining and distributing security policies and
monitoring the security of different applications from one central
location.
