Always Up-to-date automatically |
One
of the biggest challenges of guarding against debilitating
viruses is simply keeping abreast of the latest threats and
updates. Utilizing bandwidth-friendly Rumor technology, VirusScan
ASaP provides daily anti-virus updates across your entire
desktop and Windows server infrastructure. Completely transparent
to your IT team and end-users, VirusScan ASaP continuously
monitors your systems, comparing your virus data files with
the latest ones provided by McAfee AVERT (Anti-Virus Emergency
Response Team) and updating them automatically on a daily
basis so you never have to worry about updates again. |
Eliminate 80% of anti-virus lifetime costs |
VirusScan
ASaP helps eliminate the huge on-going costs associated with
managing and updating anti-virus software yourself-costs that
can equal nearly 80% of the total cost of owning that virus
protection - by managing the protection for you. As a managed
service, VirusScan ASaP reduces your cost, reduces your management
time for desktop and Windows server virus protection and helps
you focus again on the success of your business. |
Frees up key resources |
Focus
on other critical projects, other tiers of your AV defense
or actually getting back to running your business. What is
the opportunity cost of spending time, efforts and resources
on managing desktop AV? What else could you be doing with
that time and resource while VirusScan ASaP protects your
environment? |
Continuously Protects Desktops and File Servers |
VirusScan
ASaP provides combined protection from viruses for desktops
and Windows file servers. Using advanced virus-scanning technology,
VirusScan ASaP detects infected files accessed from desktops
and from Windows file servers and automatically cleans, quarantines
or deletes them to secure your environment. |
Enhanced management and security for remote users and telecommuters
|
Telecommuters
and mobile employees often connect to the network sporadically
throughout the day representing a high security risk as well
as a large management problem in terms of keeping their virus
protection current. These problems now become a thing of the
past--VirusScan ASaP checks for a new anti-virus update at
the point of every dial up connection to a network--removing
the ongoing management burden and improving network security.
|
Even for PCs not authorized to connect to the Internet |
McAfee
Security recognizes for reasons of cost, security and productivity,
that some users may not have Internet access, but still require
comprehensive virus protection. The Internet Independent Update
feature of VirusScan ASaP allows these desktops to realize
the benefits of the ASaP service without having an Internet
connection. |
24x7 Enterprise Visibility with Web-Based Reports |
VirusScan
ASaP delivers Web-based reports that give you a bird's eye-view
of your network and anti-virus environment. Reports detail
enterprise-wide information such as coverage status summary,
desktops updated, systems blocked, and viruses cleaned, deleted,
and quarantined. All reports are exclusively secured with
an administrator login and an SSL connection. Reports are
available 24x7, and can be accessed at the secure Web site
that also provides immediate access to virus alerts and other
valuable virus information. |
Ease of Deployment |
With
VirusScan ASaP, there's no waiting to begin protecting your
network from known viruses. You begin receiving continuous
24x7 virus protection immediately. Once you've purchased the
service you have three easy methods for deployment: Common,
Silent, and Push. You are up and running in minutes. |
| Comprehensive Detection
and Cleaning |
VirusScan
ASaP is based on the market leading McAfee Security scanning
technology. Pre-configured as an On-Access scanner, it silently
monitors all possible virus sources, including floppy disks,
CD-ROMs, Internet downloads, email attachments, accessed servers,
shared files, and online services. Once detected, viruses
are automatically cleaned, deleted, or even quarantined for
future analysis and origin tracing. On-demand scanning is
also available with a simple mouse click. VirusScan ASaP is
proven to find known viruses wherever they are on your desktop
(ICSA and Checkmark Level 2). |
