Panda AdminSecure

Overview:

Panda AdminSecure is the solution that centralizes management of all Panda Security's protection modules. It enables network-wide deployment, monitoring, configuration and maintenance of the protection from a single point. It adapts to any corporate network topology. In addition to its own security policy definitions, it integrates transparently with third-party technologies. Its powerful alert system allows risk identification in real time.

Simplify your corporate security management

Corporate IT systems are increasingly complex and heterogeneous: new operating systems to manage, applications that require constant maintenance, employees accessing data from different locations, increased integration with international partners and suppliers. Worse still, all these factors, along with security holes in software applications, are exploited by new threats such as spyware or rootkits.

In this dynamic environment, it is difficult to ensure appropriate preventive action and correctly monitor security levels, especially when physical access is needed to keep track of the status of each computer or if several administration consoles are needed to administer the different types of protection: antivirus, antispam, antispyware, etc.

It's essential to reduce the number of routine tasks that take up most of an administrator's time. It is also important to have a console to cover the entire protection cycle: identifying vulnerabilities, detecting and removing threats... and to avoid the time-consuming task of consolidating reports and  integrating multiple products.

Administer your protection through a single, centralized console

Panda AdminSecure is the centralized administration tool for the Panda Security for Business and Panda Security for Enterprise corporate solutions.

Its ultra-reliable technology provides real-time monitoring and control of the security and risk levels of all network systems: workstations, laptops, files servers, mail servers and gateways, firewalls, etc.

AdminSecure adapts to the structure of your company, allowing you to install, manage, maintain and supervise the protection installed across your network quickly and simply, regardless of language or the number of computers and platforms to protect.

Key Differentiators:

Flexible architecture

AdminSecure comprises a user interface (AdiminSecure Console), a business logic module (Administration Server), a transport layer (AdminSecure Communications Agent) and data modules (Repository Server and Event Storage Database).

The agents and the protection can be pushed out from the repositories to network computers in several ways: directly from the console using the machine name or IP address; with scripts, using tools like Tivoli; from shared folders, via email or Active Directory.

The versatility of AdminSecure eases installation and control of the protection for Windows, Linux and NetWare systems from a single location. The same administration console can also be used to configure the antivirus unit, email and web traffic filtering, the anti-spam protection, the TruPrevent Technologies, and even complement the protection with an SDK.

Deployment of the protection through AdminSecure is quick and simple, with minimal use of network hardware and software resources.

Centralized quarantine

If a new threat is detected, the suspicious files will be quarantined to prevent them from causing any damage. They will also be automatically sent to AdminSecure and to PandaLabs from processing.

Incremental updates are available for the protection, downloading the new signature file as soon as it is released. Its SmartClean2 technology lets administrators disinfect and repair remote computers, without needing to deploy additional tools.

Security management

To reduce the risk of infection, AdminSecure identifies vulnerabilities. At any time, the administrator can check the security status, both inside and outside the organization in the self-diagnosis and graphic reports. This allows them to evaluate the risks, while TruPrevent Technologies can guarantee security until patches have been deployed.

Adapts to your company's structure

The organizational views can be customized from the AdminSecure console, through integration with Microsoft's Active Directory, and allow Panda's corporate solutions to be adapted to the real structure of the organization. Even employees that use laptops can keep their computers automatically protected by updating the malware signature file from the Extranet every day.

AdminSecure allows administrators to track the development of security indicators and pinpoint violations of corporate security policies, guaranteeing consistency in each network layer, even in computers belonging to external staff.

Administrator profiles and secure, simple access to AdminSecure from multiple consoles in order to share the administration tasks by responsibility or roles allow a rapid response to any attacks.

Real-time monitoring and incident alerts

AdminSecure enables real-time decision-making thanks to its system for continuously monitoring the network status and the performance of the administration and distribution servers.

It also offers a real-time incident warning system via email. This integrates perfectly via SNMP with other network management systems such as HP OpenView.
