The Perfect Complement to Application Whitelisting to Achieve Total Endpoint Protection
AntiVirus Business Issues & Challenges
In today’s dynamic threat environment, organizations face an enormous variety of malware, including spyware, Trojans, rootkits, viruses and more, that is growing in volume, scope and sophistication. Much of today’s malware is fueled by financially motivated cyber criminals, trying to gain access to valuable corporate, consumer and/or personal data. More than 21 million unique malware samples have been identified, and that number continues to grow exponentially1. Organizations need antivirus software that provides fast and accurate identification of the vast amount of known malware. And with malware’s increasing sophistication, organizations need antivirus protection that employs multiple detection techniques to identify and block unknown malware (e.g. zero-day exploits).

Protect your organization by preventing malware attacks which disrupt your operations, cost you time and money in repair / remediation, and could lead to stolen data or other consequences.
Lumension® AntiVirus is based on proven technology that incorporates a pioneering and industry-leading anti-malware engine to provide complete protection against all malware, including viruses, Trojans, rootkits, spyware and adware. It provides advanced protection via traditional signature-matching capabilities as well as innovative DNA Matching, SandBox and Exploit Detection technologies which provide proactive protection against zero-day threats.
And by combining the signature-based blacklisting and behavioral malware detection approaches of Lumension AntiVirus with the proactive whitelisting approach of Lumension® Application Control, a continuum of total endpoint protection for your network is achieved. This provides you the flexibility to achieve strong and comprehensive endpoint protection using complementary solutions on different endpoints depending on your security requirements.
How It Works
- 1.Assess Use signature-based scanning to identify known malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, keyloggers, hijackers, rootkits and other malicious software. Use behavioral analysis tools (including DNA Matching, SandBox, and Exploit Detection) to assess suspicious code / applications.
- 2.Remediate Prevent known malware and suspicious code from executing, and remove it from all network assets.
- 3.Monitor Use customized triggers to generate alerts (delivered via e-mail, SNMP, SMS, Syslog and/or the operating system’s event log) based on network-wide events (such as a spreading infection). Use Risk Level Indicator on web-based management console to understand overall network “health” and current event/client status of all endpoints.
- 4.Report Use comprehensive, customizable reporting facility to cover entire network status and any incidents.
