The F-Secure Business Suite is a capable small business internet security solution with a variety of features and benefits that make it one of the best choices for your business. The suite is customized to meet your business's specific needs and contains security products for Windows workstations, along with products for both file and email servers in Windows, Linux and Citrix formats.

Virus Bulletin, AV-Test.org and AV-Comparatives.org all rank F-Secure's anti-virus solution highly. However, neither West Coast Labs nor ISCA certify it.

The F-Secure Business Suite is very good at protecting your business resources from a number of threats in real time. F-Secure technologies include the DeepGuard host-based intrusion prevention system and BlackLight scanning to uncover even the deepest rootkits.

Workstations are often a gateway where malware can infiltrate a whole system, but F-Secure provides anti-virus protection for client workstations. Its suite is also equipped to defend computers from threats carried on USB jump drives. Furthermore, before laptops or new PCs connect to the network, the Cisco NAC plug-in makes sure that they are adequately secure. The virus-definition files are also updated automatically and regularly.

F-Secure is equipped to block adware and spyware in real time. Furthermore, the real-time scanner can defend from threats that attempt to hijack your system, change system files or inject malicious code.

Its business suite also protects your email servers by scanning email from POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 sources. The software is capable of filtering content to eliminate objectionable materials such as harmful links and spam.

F-Secure Business Suite includes a firewall with advanced intrusion prevention. The firewall effectively facilitates information flow while protecting your business assets from hackers and worms. The F-Secure firewall is actually quite flexible, automatically adjusting itself for optimum security based on its network location.

Neighborcast is one nice additional feature of this security suite. This feature utilizes peer-to-peer database updating to distribute updates within your Local Area Network. Not only does this technology allow your PCs to be updated quickly (within one minute from the first threat confirmation), but it also effectively minimizes the company bandwidth that would otherwise be required to conduct the backups externally.

The F-Secure Business Suite is pretty simple to use and manage. Because the solution is centrally deployed and managed, IT personnel can do the primary interfacing. Central management is made possible by the F-Secure Policy Manager, which includes advanced policy management, simple controls and reporting features. The console lets you control each component of the suite and is actually quite versatile. You don’t have to worry about employees accidentally (or maliciously) messing with the settings, since you can restrict the controls.

Setting up the entire solution for workstations, email servers and file servers is relatively painless with the centrally managed F-Secure Policy Manager.

F-Secure no longer lists a price on its website for its U.S-based business customers. You must send the company an email through an online form in order to get a quote. However, the website provides a number of resources including product-specific articles, administrator guides and a searchable knowledgebase.
