○ A callback beacon can be inserted into every protected Office file, when the beacon server is installed as part of the
Front End server installation.
● As of v9.4.1.6,Dell Enterprise Server supports Advanced Threat Prevention on Mac computers. Advanced Threat Prevention
provides real-time threat detection by analyzing potential file executions for malware in both the operating system and
memory layers to prevent the delivery of malicious payloads. Control of execution at the endpoint allows for accurate
and effective detection of malicious threats - even those that have never been seen before. Advanced Threat Prevention
uses machine learning techniques that allow detection of new malware, viruses, bots and unknown future variants, where
signatures and sandboxes fail. Memory protection strengthens basic operating system protection features by providing an
additional layer to detect and deny certain behaviors that are commonly used by exploits.
● As of v9.5, Cloud Edition is no longer supported.
