Protection of UNIX Internet Gateways is performed by Dr.Web anti-virus packages.
|
The term anti-virus network station is used to designate a protected device with the anti-virus package installed. |
Anti-virus packages are installed on protected stations and get connected to Dr.Web Server. Each station is included in one or several groups registered on this Server. The protected stations and the Dr.Web Server communicate via the protocol used in the local network (TCP/IP version 4 or 6).
Installation
Local installation is performed on the protected station directly either by the administrator of this station or by the administrator of the anti-virus network.
|
For the detailed description of how to install anti-virus packages on protected stations, refer to the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Installation Manual. |
Management
When the connection with Dr.Web Server is established, the administrator can use the following functions implemented by the anti-virus package on the protected station:
•Centralized configuration of the anti-virus package on the protected station via the Security Control Center.
The administrator can either allow or forbid the users to change the settings of the anti-virus package on the protected station.
•Configuring the schedule for anti-virus scans and other tasks to run on the protected station.
•Getting scan statistics and other information on the operation of the anti-virus components and on the state of the protected station.
•Starting and stopping anti-virus scans, etc. (depending on the functionality of the anti-virus package installed on the protected station).
Updating
Dr.Web Server downloads updates and distributes them to the protected stations connected to it. Thus, optimal protection against threats is implemented, maintained and adjusted automatically regardless of the skills of the administrator of the protected stations.
If a protected station is disconnected from the anti-virus network, the anti-virus package installed on the server uses the local copy of the settings and the anti-virus protection retains its functionality (until the expiration of the user license), but the software is not updated.
