About the Product

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite is designed to provide an integrated and complex anti-virus protection either for the local network of a company (including mobile devices) or home computers of its employees.

Once the components of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite are installed on corporate computers and mobile devices, they begin communicating with each other and become an integrated anti-virus network.

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite anti-virus network has a client-server architecture. Its components are installed on stations. In this context, a "station" means a protected device in the anti-virus network, with Dr.Web Agent and the anti-virus package installed, acting as a client and interacting with Dr.Web Server. Stations can be computers, virtual and mobile devices of users and administrators, as well as computers functioning as LAN servers.

The anti-virus network components exchange information using TCP/IP network protocols. The anti-virus software can be installed (and subsequently managed) on protected stations either via LAN or the internet.

Centralized protection server (Dr.Web Server) is installed on one of the computers in the anti-virus network. The installation can be performed on any computer, not necessarily on a computer acting as a LAN server. General requirements for such a computer are specified in section System Requirements.

The cross-platform nature of Dr.Web Server allows it to be used on a computer with the following operating systems installed:

The protection of the computer Dr.Web Server is installed on is identical to the protection of workstations as described in the Protection of network stations subsection, and can be implemented by installing a control module (Dr.Web Agent) and an anti-virus package.

Dr.Web Server stores distribution kits of anti-virus packages for various operating systems on protected computers, updates for virus databases and anti-virus packages, license keys and settings of anti-virus packages for protected computers. Dr.Web Server receives updates of anti-virus protection components and virus databases via the internet from Dr.Web Global Update System and distributes them to protected stations.

Dr.Web Server is connected to a unified database where it stores statistics about anti-virus network events, Dr.Web Server settings, parameters of protected stations and anti-virus components installed on protected stations.

Centralized Protection Control Center (Dr.Web Control Center) is automatically installed with Dr.Web Server and provides a web interface for remote administration of Dr.Web Server and the anti-virus network by configuring the settings of Dr.Web Server and the settings of protected computers which are stored on Dr.Web Server and protected computers.

The Control Center can be accessed on any computer with a network access to Dr.Web Server. The Control Center can be used almost under any operating system and is fully compatible with the following web browsers:

The Web server is one of the Control Center components that are automatically installed with Dr.Web Server. The main purpose of the Web server is to ensure operation of the Control Center web pages and client network connections.

Dr.Web Mobile Control Center is available as a separate component for mobile devices running iOS and Android. The basic device requirements for running the application are given in section System Requirements.

Mobile Control Center connects to Dr.Web Server via an encrypted protocol using the credentials of the anti-virus network administrator.

You can download Dr.Web Mobile Control Center from the Control Center or directly from the App Store or Google Play.

A control module (Dr.Web Agent) and an anti-virus package are installed on protected computers and mobile devices in the network.

The cross-platform nature of the software ensures that anti-virus protection is provided for computers and mobile devices running the following operating systems:

Protected stations can include both workstations and LAN servers. Anti-virus protection of Microsoft Outlook mail system is also supported.

The control module regularly updates anti-virus components and virus databases by downloading them from Dr.Web Server. It also sends information about threats detected on protected computers to Dr.Web Server.

If Dr.Web Server is unavailable, virus databases on protected stations can be updated from the Global Update System via the internet.

To ensure stable and secure connection between the anti-virus network components, the following features are available:

Dr.Web Proxy Server can be optionally included in the anti-virus network. The main function of the Dr.Web Proxy Server is to provide connection between Dr.Web Server and protected stations in cases when direct connection is impossible.

To reduce network traffic to a minimum, special compression algorithms are used when the anti-virus network components exchange data.

Data transferred between the anti-virus network components can be encrypted to provide an additional level of security.

NAP Validator is a separate component that uses Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) technology to check the software health of protected stations.

Dr.Web Repository loader is a separate utility that downloads Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite products from Dr.Web Global Update System. It can be used for downloading Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite updates and storing them on Dr.Web Server which is not connected to the internet.

Dr.Web Scanning Server is provided as a separate component designed for operating in virtual environments. The Scanning Server is installed on a separate virtual machine and processes anti-virus scanning requests from other virtual machines.
