The Network Pro - Endpoint Security (NES) is a powerful and proven add-on to the current Managed IT Service offerings by The Network Pro. This new service enhances and extends support for our IT delivery process by including an essential security protection component.
By incorporating reactive anti-virus and spyware detection with the latest proactive technologies, The Network Pro is able to expand their service offering to include effective protection against malicious programs ensuring not only anti-virus protection but protection from unknown threats.
Anti-Virus protection from Viruses, Worms and Trojans
Analyze
Analyze and detect unwanted executable applications or DLL libraries within the system that may be spyware, adware etc. Based upon the security profile, NES will remove these programs or block access to them.
Scan
Scan the system registry for suspicious entries, temporary Internet files and tracking cookies, and treat the potentially harmful items in the same manner as any other infection.
Detect computer viruses by:
• Scanning – on-access and on-demand scanning
• Heuristic Analysis – dynamic emulation of a scanned object’s instructions within a virtual computing environment
• Generic Detection – detection of instructions characteristic of the virus or group of viruses
• Known Virus Detection – searching for character strings characteristic of a virus
Multi-Level Virus Checks:
E-mail Scanner
Checks incoming and outgoing mail by using plug-ins designed for the most frequently used e-mail programs. The E-mail Scanner is an additional program for electronic mail monitoring and is designed for applications supporting the POP3/SMTP protocols. Once detected, viruses are cleaned or quarantined. Some e-mail clients may support messages with text certifying that sent and received e-mail has been scanned for viruses. In addition, for an increased level of security when working with electronic mail, the Attachment Filter can be set by defining undesirable or suspect files.
Real Time Protection
Scans files as they are copied, opened or saved. When the Real Time Protection discovers a virus in a file that is accessed, it stops the operation currently being performed and does not allow the virus to activate itself. The Real Time Protection, loaded in the memory of the computer during system startup, also provides vital protection for the system areas of the computer.
On-Demand Scans
Scanning is a crucial part of NES functionality. Scans can be run on-demand or scheduled to run periodically at convenient times. NES comes with pre-defined security profiles along with the ability to create customer profiles for each one of our Managed IT Service customers.
Anti-Spyware
Spyware is usually defined as a type of malware (software that gathers information from a computer without the user's knowledge or consent). Some spyware applications may also be deliberately installed and often contain advertisements, window pop-ups or different types of unpleasant software. Ideally, spyware and other malware should be prevented from intruding. Currently, the most common source of infection is websites with potentially dangerous content. Other methods of transmission include e-mail or transmission by worms and viruses. The most important protection is to use an always-on background scanner, such as the cutting edge NES Spyware component. It works like a resident shield and scans applications in the background as they run.
Centralized Management
Centrally managed security profiles are defined and deployed to the managed computers using our Managed IT Services dashboard. The profiles are used to establish best practices to keep the managed computers running and malware free. All information detected is logged within the system and available for executive summary and detailed management reporting.
Automated Deployment
As a fully integrated component of our Managed IT Services, NES is configured, deployed and managed from the same interface that our administrators already use to manage our customers computing environments, making implementation seamless and easy. Once deployed, the system is monitored to ensure protection is active and enabled. Utilizing The Network Pro’s proactive service practice, updates are handled automatically on a scheduled basis without the need for user interaction. Security protection is then always up and running and kept up-to date. All activity and information detected is logged and stored in The Network Pro database and is available for executive summary and detailed management reporting.
Virus Detection
The Scanning engine has received numerous awards for its excellent detection of “in the wild” viruses, including the VB100% award. Its unique combination of detection methods provides full protection against viruses, worms and trojan’s.
Cutting-Edge Anti-Spyware Technology
Detects spyware, adware, DLL-trojans, keyloggers and much more. Malware hidden in data streams, archives, or the Windows registry is also detected.
Full On-Access Protection
Provides maximum protection by scanning every file opened, executed, or saved. It also prevents the opening or executing of infected files.
Flexible Intelligent Scanning
Is used to include/exclude files from being scanned based on individual file extensions and can handle exceptions for potentially unwanted programs such as adware.
Full E-mail Protection
Checks every e-mail sent or received, providing full protection from e-mail-borne threats and is fully supported by Microsoft Outlook®.
Automatic Threat Handling
Automatically heals or removes infected files and other threats such as trojans, worms and spyware.
Powerful Scheduling
Automatically provides recommended daily schedules for scanning and updating, and allows you to create custom-scheduled events.
