Panda Security for Business

Overview:

Panda Security for Business is the ideal endpoint security solution. It offers complete protection for workstations and file servers. It's an easy-to-use solution that protects your computers against malware (viruses, spam, phishing, spyware, rootkits, etc.) and other known and unknown threats.

Panda Security for Business provides maximum proactive protection for organizations against today's and tomorrow's thearats.

Based on a combination of the most advanced proactive technologies (Truprevent) for endpoints and periodical in -dept audits (Malware Radar), Panda Security for Business offers a complete protection against known and unknown threats.

The all-in-one console (Adminsecure) enables administrators to manage all necessary network protections in an extremely easy way, helped by an intuitive wizard for deploying the most adequate protection to endpoints.

Panda Security for Business is the only solution that includes, in a single priced suite, all necessary protections for a medium-sized organization such as host-based intrusion prevention system, in-depth targeted attack audits, application management and network access control.

This solution directly benefits from our Collective Intelligence approach, which increases efficiency against detection, helping maximize your protection against unknown threats.

95% of small and medium-sized businesses nowadays have an antivirus installed on their network endpoints, but 72% are still infected

Almost all small and medium-sized business organizations have some kind of security solution installed for protection reasons. Most of these organizations feel protected just for having an antivirus installed. However, the reality is that a very high percentage is still infected by malware.

Although it may seem that these infections are not harmful for businesses, according to Gartner almost half of small and medium-sized businesses have to close Internet access due to external malware attacks, causing crippling revenue loss.

This means that traditional protections are not enough for meeting security needs. Malware is now designed specifically to go unnoticed. It is much more complex and varied, and in many cases, it is tailored to achieve specific objectives.

A scalable, modular solution

Panda Security for Business is built around the following modules:

• Panda AdminSecure: Global management of your network security.
• Panda Security for Desktops: Protection for Windows workstations: Windows XP/2000 Pro/NT/Me/98/95/Vista.
• Panda Security for File Servers: Protection for file servers: Windows NT/2000/2003.
• Panda Security for Commandline: command-line anti-malware protection for Win32 and Linux.
• Panda Security for Linux: Simple and complete protection against all types of viruses for your Linux workstations.

Key Differentiators:

Centralized all in one console

Panda AdminSecure is the centralized administration tool for Panda Security for Business. Its dashboard provides real-time monitoring and control of the security and risk levels of all network systems: workstations, laptops, file 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 the language or the number of computers and platforms to protect.

Most advanced proactive technology

Panda Security for Business includes in all its solutions the most advanced and most recognized proactive technologies that use automatic processes without user intervention. It includes a genetic heuristic engine, behavioral blocking and behavioral scanning of known and unknown malware (TruPrevent Technologies).

In-depth malware audits included

Panda Malware Radar is an automated audit which locates infection points that traditional security tools fail to detect.

Based on our Collective Intelligence approach, it complements and helps maximize your protection against hidden threats without additional components or infrastructure.

Malware Radar provides automatic audits of your network and detailed reports with results and recommendations offering the option to automate malware disinfection routines.

Network Access Control

Panda is the only security vendor that includes a Network Access Control feature by default. This feature ensures that there are not compromised users entering your network. It will scan any computer that tries to enter the network to determine if its antivirus (any antivirus) is properly updated or not. If the answer is "no", it will not let this computer enter the network.

Application Control

The use of some application could pose security threats or could cause loss of productivity to organizations. Thanks to the application control feature, administrators will be capable of controlling the applications that can or cannot be used.

Detailed Reports

Administrators can have complete reports that show the security activity of their networks in a very user friendly format. Although there is an extensive list of predefined reports, administrator have the possibility to customize their own reports.

Reports can be configured to be regularly sent by email to certain email addresses.

Antispam at desktop and Exchange servers

Panda Security for Business is the only solution that includes an anti-spam feature for desktops and Exchange servers allowing organizations to increase their productivity and increasing bandwidth capacity.

The anti-spam engines included in Panda Security for Business offer ratios of detection higher than 95%.

Centrally managed 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 or to PandaLabs for processing.

Real-time incident and alerts monitoring

Panda Security for Business enables real-time decision-making thanks to its system, for continuosly monitoring the network status and the performance of the administration and distribution servers. It also offers a real-time incident warning system via email.

Collective Intelligence

Exponentially increases malware detection like no other solution on the market.

TruPrevent: Intelligent protection based in behavior

As part of the most advanced proactive protection Panda Security includes in all its solutions TruPrevent Technologies.

Thanks to its capacity to detect behavioral anomalies, True Prevent Technologies are the first of their kind capable of effectively preventing service downtime due to intruders and all types of unknown malware. These innovative, hight performance technologies reduce the risk of infection and associated costs.

TruPrevent Technologies are the solution for workstations and servers capable of automatically and accurately identifying and blocking: worms, network viruses, spyware and other new malware that has slipped past other protection, either because it is not completely updated or because instead of taking action, it has simply notified the administrator about the possible attack.

By having TruPrevent Technologies running, organizations benefit from:

• Reducing the risk window opened by vulnerabilities by preventing new infections that exploit these security holes from speading before the patch has been applied.
   
• Maintains your network security level by blocking hacker attacks confidential data theft and infection generated by computers that are not managed internally: Wi-Fi access and external consultants.
   
• Flexible security policy management to customize and reinforce security rules across the entire network, preventing theft of confidential information by disloyal employees.

TruPrevent Technologies are the perfect complement for the antivirus providing an intelligent layer of protection that maximizes the capacity to detect any type of new virus or intruder.
