ESET SMART SECURITY 4 BUSINESS EDITION Brochure page 3

WHAT'S NEW
Enhanced Remote Administrator
Detecting unregistered clients and synchronizing with Active Directory are now easier than
ever. New parametric group feature dynamically update with endpoints that match specific
criteria to speed troubleshooting and reporting. Multi-platform management means one
console is all you need to manage ESET solutions for Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile
OSes.
Smarter scanner
Threats don't always enter your network in ways you expect. ESET Smart Security inspects
SSL-encrypted communication channels like HTTPS and POP3S and intelligently scans
compressed files to find hidden threats other products miss. Proactive protection begins at
the earliest point in system startup to ensure your network is always secure.
Time-saving firewall
The new Learning Mode saves time by automatically creating firewall rules by observing
how you use your computer, while offering advanced firewall modes for power users. Pair
customized firewall profiles with trusted network zones and have appropriate firewall rules
applied automatically based on detected network presence.*
Trusted zone authentication
Identify trusted network zones by network configurations (a configurable combination
of host/DNS/DHCP server IP address, wireless SSID, connection profile, etc.) or securely
authenticate into a network using ESET Authentication Server.*
Upgraded antispam
ESET Smart Security now takes care of annoying spam with a smaller, faster and even
more effective spam filter. Native integration with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook
Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail. ESET Smart Security
makes spam filtering and messaging security simple for your business.
Removable media security
Threats can enter PCs from removable media such as USB thumb drives. For self-running
media, ESET Smart Security scans AUTORUN.INF and associated files on mount and scans
any file on any removable device on access or on demand. Power users can also adjust ESET
Smart Security to perform additional levels of scanning on removable media.
* Available with version 4.2 or later.
System tools
Compared to other security suites, ESET SysInspector takes the most detailed "deep-
dive" snapshot of a system's processes. It simplifies diagnosing infected systems by
scanning system processes to find hidden threats, then assigns color-coded risk levels
to all potentially threatening files. It can be used by your security and IT pros to help
identify how a system was breached, or discover what's been changed on a system. The
SysRescue feature creates bootable rescue CD/DVD or USB drives to help you repair an
infected computer.
Self-defense and HIPS
ESET Smart Security has built-in technology to prevent malicious software from
corrupting or disabling it, so you can rest assured your system is always protected.
Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) protects your system from malware or
any unwanted activity attempting to negatively affect the security of your computer. It
couples advanced behavioral analysis with the detection capabilities of a network filter
to monitor running processes, files and registry keys, and actively block inappropriate
attempts to modify the OS or applications.
