How to avoid interruptions at work and the damage caused by infections

IT threats are constantly growing in number and becoming increasingly varied. The time needed to detect new threats and repair the damage is vital to preventing productivity losses when malware renders systems partially or wholly inoperative.

Most attacks target computers of inexperienced users who download all types of software, including malicious software such as adware, and who unwittingly open spam or messages with worms.

As a result, administrators constantly have to intervene. The only way to preempt these problems is with an automatic integrated protection system.

Its administration console, Panda AdminSecure, minimizes the risk of infection for all the desktops, terminals and laptops across an organization by heading off attacks that exploit vulnerabilities and quarantining files and email messages carrying new threats.

Key Differentiators:

Maximum protection and minimum risk of infection

Panda for Desktops protects against intruder attacks that exploit new vulnerabilities, worms that spread using social engineering techniques, confidential information stolen by disloyal employees or spyware. It also offers complete protection against any attack and malware that could enter through different protocols (http, etc.), messaging applications such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger or AOL Messenger, email, etc. It also lets you monitor the applications used by employees and prevent them from running dangerous software.

Hourly updates and global quarantine for suspicious files

Panda for Desktop is an effective and stable solution that incorporates a centralized quarantine area and hourly incremental updates of the malware signature file in record time to head off new threats.

TruPrevent Technologies against unknown viruses and intruders

TruePrevent Technologies (HIPS) monitor running processes on the lockout for malicious behavior. They not onley detect unknown malware, but also block their communications, preventing them from running, and request the vaccine from Panda to disinfect and repair the computer with SmartClean2 technology.

Panda for Desktops provides an intelligent answer through its Genetic Heuristic Engine, which assesses the threat of processes before they are run; an automatic deep packet inspection firewall, to analyze the data packets transferred for malware and a buffer overflow detection module, which supervises memory access.

Antispam protection and content filtering

In addition to protecting MAPI, POP3, SMTP and NNTP mail, Panda for Desktops incorporates a effective antispam mechanism that uses rules, Bayesian patters, lists and remote learning to classify junk mail allowing the user to reclassify email through Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.

Nevertheless, the spam filter on its own cannot block all types of dangerous content. For this reason, Panda for Desktops also incorporates protection against phishing attacks, as wall as a set of options to filter mail by its extension or MIME type.

Reinforcement of protection technologies

As well as integrating with security programs like CISCO NAC, the NetworkSecure unit incorporated in Panda for Desktops guarantees control of access through MAC addresses, limiting the risk of theft of confidential information and ensuring that external staff connecting to the local network comply with security rules.

Through its roaming system, Panda for Desktops accompanies you wherever you go, even if you need to update the protection from home, a hotel or a client's offices, through the corporate Extranet.

Quick and simple deployment and maintenance

With Panda AdminSecure, the management tool for Panda for Desktops, implementing a consistent security policy couldn't be easier. The solution can be installed in two ways: either directly from the console using the IP address or machine name or manually with tools like SMS or Tivoli.

Once set up, administrators have a centralized and global view of the entire network in real-time. What's more, they can generate remote on-demands scans and define the distribution server providing fault tolerance. Overall, Panda for Desktops is designed to optimize the performance of computers and bandwidth consumption.
