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.
Get complete protection without sacrificing the
performance of your workstations
Panda Security for Desktops is the ideal solution
for protecting workstations against the read and
instant propagation of viruses and other threats:
spam, spyware, rootkits, dangerous or time-wasting
content and phishing, hacker and intruder attacks.
In addition to its unrivalled threat detection
and elimination capacity, Panda for Desktops also
stands out for its high performance, ultra-low
resource consumption and minimal maintenance
requirements. 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.
