Madrid, April 1, 2004 - Controlling the antivirus protection installed on
laptop computers, which are not permanently connected to a corporate
network, is a serious problem that network administrators need to solve.
Today's Oxygen3 24h-365d is going to look at this problem and the technology
available to solve it.
As mentioned in another bulletin about mobile devices and corporate
environments published at the beginning of the week, laptops can be
extremely vulnerable to viruses and intruders, as when these devices connect
to external networks they are not protected by the perimeter protection
installed in the local network and cannot be controlled by systems
administrators. However, nowadays there is a way of getting around this
obstacle that up until now has made administrators' jobs difficult. Advanced
technologies are now available that can be managed via the Internet,
allowing administrators to remotely control and monitor antivirus solutions,
even if the laptop is connected to the Internet on the other side of the
world.
Basically, this system works through a web server that acts as a bridge
between the antivirus clients and the administrator. By doing this, the
administrator can push out updates and security policies to a laptop that is
outside the corporate network. What's more, as soon as the laptop connects
to the Internet, through any ISP, the administrator will be notified of any
event that occurs.
The products currently available which allow administrators to manage the
corporate antivirus protection from any computer with an Internet connection
include Panda WebAdmin Antivirus. This web-managed antivirus solution allows
administrators to control and update the antivirus protection installed on
all computers, even non-networked computers or those in other offices or
domains.
