Security Overview

Endpoint Security (KES) provides security protection for managed machines, using fully integrated

anti-malware technology from AVG Technologies. The term malware encompasses viruses, spyware,

adware and other types of unwanted programs. Endpoint Security automatically cleans or removes

infected files and other threats such as trojans, worms and spyware. Endpoint Security continuously

monitors the security status of all Windows servers, workstations and notebooks installed with security

protection. Alarms can be triggered by security protection events and can include sending email

notifications, running procedures, and creating job tickets.

Centrally managed security profiles are defined and deployed to machines using the VSA console

interface. Changes to a security profile automatically update all machines using that profile. Endpoint

Security comes with a pre-defined standard security profile and enables you to create customized

security profiles.

All security protection events are logged within the system and available for executive summary and

detailed management reporting. Once deployed, updates are handled automatically on a scheduled

basis without the need for user interaction.

Anti-Virus Protection

Based on the security profile, Endpoint Security removes infected files or blocks access to them:

 Scans the system registry for suspicious entries, temporary internet files, tracking cookies, and other

types of unwanted objects.

 Detects computer viruses by:

 Scanning - Performs both on-access and on-demand scanning.

 Heuristic Analysis - Dynamically emulates a scanned object’s instructions within a virtual

computing environment.
