Endpoint Security
Today’s
sophisticated viruses and spyware have proven that threat management is an
around-the-clock job. While most organizations have some form of virus
protection, managing the manual deployment and update of virus and spyware
clients has strained IT resources and budgets. This has created the need for
a manageable, network-wide solution that ensures all users have the latest
updates.
SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware
provides comprehensive virus, spyware and desktop firewall protection for
desktops and laptops using a single integrated client. Developed in
partnership with McAfee, it provides automated updates of virus and spyware
signatures, eliminating machine-by-machine deployment. SonicWALL’s Enforced
Client can be deployed in either a standalone (non-enforced) configuration
or in an enforced configuration. When deployed together with a SonicWALL
network security appliance, SonicWALL’s Enforced Client ensures that all
computers accessing the network have the latest version of anti-virus and
anti-spyware software installed, updated and active.
SonicWALL offers the benefits of layered protection for
desktops, laptops and servers with no additional licensing costs. To protect
servers, a bundled solution is available—SonicWALL Client/Server Anti-Virus
Suite—that delivers gateway-enforced, layered virus and spyware protection
for desktops, laptops and comprehensive virus protection for servers. It
combines SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware with
McAfee’s GroupShield applications.
