ESET Smart Security Business Edition

What’s New:

Enhanced Remote Administrator

To effectively manage your networked systems, the updated console smooths Active Directory integration and simplifies policy creation. With support for Oracle, MySQL and MS-SQL databases, it also handles increasingly large deployments and runs significantly faster.

Smarter Scanner

Threats don’t always enter your network in ways you expect. ESET Smart Security inspects SSL-encrypted communication channels like HTTPS and POP3S and intelligently scans compressed files to find hidden threats other products miss. Proactive protection begins at the earliest point in system startup to ensure your network is always secure.

Time-Saving Firewall

The new Learning Mode automatically creates firewall rules by observing user behavior, and offers advanced firewall modes for power users or IT admins.

Upgraded Antispam

ESET Smart Security now takes care of annoying spam with a smaller, faster, and even more effective spam filter. Native integration with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail. ESET Smart Security makes spam filtering and messaging security simple for your business.

Removable Media Security

Threats can enter PCs from removable media such as USB thumb drives. For self-running media, ESET Smart Security scans AUTORUN.INF and associated files on mount and scans any file on any removable device on access or on demand. Power users can also adjust ESET Smart Security to perform additional levels of scanning on removable media.

System Tools

Compared to other security suites, ESET SysInspector takes the most detailed “deep-dive” snapshot of a system’s processes. It simplifies diagnosing infected systems by scanning system processes to find hidden threats, then assigns color-coded risk levels to all potentially threatening files. It can be used by your security and IT pros to help identify how a system was breached, or discover what’s been changed on a system. The SysRescue feature creates bootable rescue CD/DVD or USB drives to help you repair an infected computer.

Self Defense and HIPS

ESET Smart Security has built-in technology to prevent malicious software from corrupting or disabling it, so you can rest assured your system is always protected. Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) protects your system from malware or any unwanted activity attempting to negatively affect the security of your computer. It couples advanced behavioral analysis with the detection capabilities of a network filter to monitor running processes, files and registry keys, and actively block inappropriate attempts to modify the OS or applications.

Usability Improvements

For administrators, version 4 offers:

• License Manager with simplified tools to manage multiple licenses with different terms
• Read-only access for management console which enables multiple administrators to share tasks without risk of overwriting configurations
• Notification Manager to keep administrators informed of all key events with customizable alerts
• Full support of Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) in support of compliance initiatives
• More efficient use of network bandwidth and improved log storage scalability
• Advanced Protection status screen that informs you of threat detections
• Password protection that prevents ESET Smart Security from being uninstalled by unauthorized  employees or visitors

Benefits & Features:

Key Benefits:

Protection from the Unknown

Award-winning ThreatSense technology uses multiple layers of threat detection to deliver the most effective protection possible against new attacks. And ThreatSense is smart; it not only generates far fewer annoying false positive alarms than any other products that use heuristics, but finds malware other antivirus products miss.

Built for Speed

ESET Smart Security is lightning fast, so fast your users usually won’t even notice it’s there. Even disk-intensive operations like performing a “full disk scan” run smoothly in the background while your users work.

Supports Complex Compliance Requirements

ESET Smart Security adds critical features, such as external drive access control and scanning, Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) compatibility, as well as enhanced logging and reporting functions to support your compliance initiatives.

Easy on User Systems

ESET Smart Security is “lean and mean,” typically using just 48 MB of memory, a fraction of what other products consume. Because it’s fast and light, upgrading your existing Internet security to ESET Smart Security can literally be like buying a faster computer. It’s a great way to realize extra life from your existing PCs.

Easy on End Users

ESET Smart Security was already highly regarded for its ease of use. Now it’s even easier to use, which will brighten your help desk manager’s day. From its compact and intuitive user interface to its minimal use of alerts, self-training firewall, and other new features, your users will receive the best possible proactive detection against malware, without enduring excessive system slowdowns and alerts, reboots or annoying false positives.

Easy to Manage

ESET Remote Administrator provides a single management console to control an entire network from a single screen—supporting tens to thousands of computers. Installation, updates, alerts and other tasks are all easily managed from these intuitive screens. ESET Smart Security can be configured with antispam and/or personal firewall disabled to ensure compatibility with existing network security solutions. Integrated SysInspector makes it easier for IT administrators to diagnose and resolve problems.
