BitDefender® Client Security

The foundation of business security
The security requirements for any new or existing company, no matter how large or small, should be the same. While protecting your company's intellectual property and securing customer data are good business practices, the impact of any virus outbreak greatly affects a company's operational efficiency and can incur lost productivity from the workforce.

This loss of productivity can cripple a small company and at best, hamper a company's growth. The answer to data loss and lost productivity from malicious malware is proactive protection.

Companies can effectively protect their business clients from attack by using BitDefender's ability to detect and prevent known and zero-day threats, ensure compliance to corporate security policies and manage them effectively with fewer IT resources.

Effective malware protection and endpoint management
While anti-virus protection is the foundation of a good security policy, it is no longer the only answer to protecting your workforce from malicious threats. BitDefender Client Security has evolved beyond a single anti-virus detection engine to provide a more complete security approach to deal with the latest threats targeting your business.

Large numbers of workstations can be quickly and easily managed via BitDefender's Centralized Management platform, giving IT administrators organization-wide visibility into malware threats and the ability to proactively protect their network resources. The BitDefender Management Console provides a centralized point for remote installation, configuration and reporting of all BitDefender client, server and gateway products deployed within the network.

BitDefender Client Security offers multiple levels of protection and client management functionality. BitDefender Client Security uses multiple layers of technology to protect the endpoint including:

Anti-virus – In addition to signature-based detection, BitDefender provides heuristic detection that emulates a virtual computer-within-a-computer, checking all files and code for malicious behavior. This technique produces fewer false positives and significantly higher detection rates for zero-day and unknown threats.
Anti-spam – Using constantly updated blacklists and white lists of known spam sites, Bayesian learning provides another layer of detection that adapts to the changes made by spammers to bypass static spam filters.
Anti-spyware – BitDefender Client Security detects and prevents known spyware and adware by using five different filtering methods to monitor the registry for modifications, file scanning, cookie control, URL filtering and content inspection to prevent outbound data leakage.
Anti-phishing – Phishing sites are considered more of personal threat than a corporate threat, but they can also harvest information from your company's employees. Using a combination of constantly updated blacklists and white lists, BitDefender prevents users from accessing known phishing sites to prevent compromise.
Content Filtering – Content filtering allows for the detection of predefined information, such as credit card or account information, report names and client databases, from passing outside the company's control.
Firewall – When users roam or work remotely using unsecured wireless networks, they are no longer protected by the company's perimeter firewall. Granular settings such as internet blocking and access by IP address, application, port or protocol allows flexible configuration options, while maintaining maximum security against inbound and outbound threats.

Automatic updates
Hourly updates are provided for new virus definitions and new product updates to be deployed during a scheduled maintenance window, ensuring your BitDefender Client Security deployment is current with the very latest threat protection – without disrupting your network.

BitDefender® Security for File Servers

File Servers – The Backbone of a Network
File servers are not just a network repository for a company's files. Unlike their name suggests, file servers provide critical infrastructure services to ensure communication and interoperability between desktops, printers and other resources found within a network.

System administrators can sometimes disregard best practices when problems arise – surfing the internet from a critical server looking for system utilities or security tools to fix a critical issue, invariably infecting the server with unwanted spyware, adware, a Trojan or a virus. Worms can also propagate throughout the network and infect a server without warning. Unless protected, the critical network services they provide will become unavailable to the user community, greatly impacting a company's productivity.

Companies can protect their file server deployments from attack by using BitDefender's ability to scan for malicious code in files, maintain system integrity, help ensure compliance to incorporate security policies and prevent sensitive data from being distributed outside of the organization.

BitDefender Security for File Servers

BitDefender® Security for Samba

Samba File Servers are the Backbone of a Network
Even though Samba file servers are UNIX-based, they serve Microsoft® Windows workstations and server domains. The file servers are not just a network repository for the company's files. Unlike their name suggests, file servers provide critical infrastructure services to ensure communication and interoperability between desktops, printers and other resources found within the network.

Samba file servers are capable of spreading the following security threats:

Malicious code through shared files
Compressed, infected archives
Viruses, Trojans and rootkits
Worms and spyware

Companies can protect their Samba file server deployments from attack by using BitDefender's ability to scan for malicious code in files, help ensure compliance to corporate security policies and prevent sensitive data from being distributed outside of the organization.

BitDefender® Security for Mail Servers

The Need for Secure and Spam-Free Mailboxes
Email has become an indispensible service that businesses need to protect at whatever the cost. When the email server stops working, so does your workforce. The impact of lost productivity combined with a severe virus outbreak propagated by email can practically bring a company to its knees. While many organizations consider the internal impact of email-borne viruses, an even greater concern is loss of reputation and damage caused by an employee accidentally sending out an infected email to partners or customers. More than anything else, damage to a company's reputation can be irreversible.

A company's email system provides one of the main entry and exit points within the network for malicious code propagation and data leakage. Therefore, email security solutions should be able to counter the many different threats that leverage a company's email system in order to propagate.

These include:

Sending or receiving malicious code through email attachments
Unsolicited communication in the form of spam
Phishing attempts to acquire confidential information
Legitimate users leaking confidential information by email
Dictionary harvesting attacks (DHAs)

Because the mechanisms used to propagate email threats are becoming more virulent, stopping them at the desktop may be too late. Therefore, a solution deployed at the edge of the network and on the mail server itself can minimize the impact of malware by cleaning infected documents and ensuring the protection of your organization's most critical business asset – a communicating workforce.

BitDefender® Security for Mail Servers
BitDefender Security for Mail Servers protects Windows- or UNIX-based mail servers for known and unknown security threats with award-winning proactive anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and anti-phishing content and attachment filtering technologies. The solution secures an organization's email services and provides increased productivity by blocking spam and providing common, centralized management tools.
