Business Edition Key feature
Central Remote Administration
Server friendly Business Edition contains the feature of central remote administration via ESET Remote Administrator – a tool ensuring hassle free installation and subsequent running of ESET Smart Security. Other features of ESET Remote Administrator will be detailed in separate document.
Mirror update
ESET Smart Security Business Edition allows the user to create copies of update files, which can be used to update other workstations located in the network.
Supports Complex Compliance Requirements
ESET Smart Security adds critical features, such as external drive access control and scanning, Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) compatibility, as well as enhanced logging and reporting functions to support your compliance initiatives.
Host-based Intrusion Prevention System
ESET delivers host-based intrusion protection through a combination of capabilities including self-defense, advanced heuristics, web access protection and protocol filtering. In particular, advanced heuristics stops potentially malicious code by analyzing their behavior and disabling them before they can do damage. ESET's self-defense prevents malware from disabling our software and weakening the security of the user's system.
Easy to Manage
ESET Remote Administrator provides a single management console to control an entire network from a single screen—supporting tens to thousands of computers. Installation, updates, alerts and other tasks are all easily managed from these intuitive screens. To effectively manage your networked systems, the updated console smooths Active Directory integration and simplifies policy creation. With support for Oracle, MySQL and MS-SQL databases, it also handles increasingly large deployments and runs significantly faster. ESET Smart Security can be configured with antispam and/or personal two-way firewall disabled to ensure compatibility with existing network security solutions. Integrated SysInspector makes it easier for IT administrators to diagnose and resolve problems.
