Automated & Enforced Threat Protection!
Dell SonicWALL™ firewalls working in conjunction with Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware go beyond the first layer of defense at the gateway, to automatically and consistently ensure all endpoints have the latest security software updates for the ultimate network protection. Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software includes the McAfee anti-virus engine.
Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware McAfee.
The Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware service automatically enforces anti-virus and anti-spyware policies on every client, reducing administrative overhead. It combines client-based scanning and remediation capabilities with centralized management and reporting capabilities.
Features & Benefits:
Automated Installation & Deployment
Anti-virus and anti-spyware clients are automatically installed machine-by-machine across the network, minimizing administrative overhead.
Automated Enforcement
Dell SonicWALL firewalls ensure that every computer accessing the network has the most recent version of anti-virus and anti-spyware signatures installed and active, eliminating the costs commonly associated with desktop anti-virus and anti-spyware management.
Multi-Layered Protection
A firewall’s gateway anti-virus solution provides the first layer of defense at the perimeter, stopping most attacks before they enter the network. But viruses can still enter the network through multiple entry points, including laptops, thumb drives or other unprotected systems. Dell SonicWALL’s layered approach to anti-virus and anti-spyware protection starts at the gateway and extends to both client and server. Malware threats provide an additional challenge, since they often originate inside the network, bypassing perimeter protection entirely. For example, an employee or contractor may plug into the network with an infected notebook running out-of-date anti-virus software. With the last line of defense—Endpoint Security delivered through the Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware engine—this final vulnerability is eliminated.
Always On, Automatic Virus Protection
Frequent anti-virus and anti-spyware updates are delivered transparently to all desktop and file servers to keep end user productivity high and security management low.
Spyware Protection
Powerful spyware protection scans and blocks the installation of a comprehensive array of spyware programs on desktops and laptops before they transmit confidential data, providing greater desktop security and performance.
On-Demand & Scheduled Scanning
Administrators have the flexibility to choose when additional scans are performed and how frequently the software checks for anti-virus and anti-spyware signature updates.
Premium Anti-Virus Technology
With included McAfee anti-virus technology, you can protect every endpoint against the most sophisticated virus threats, dangerous spyware and productivity-draining adware.
License Sharing
Organizations with distributed networks of multiple Dell SonicWALL firewall appliances can allocate Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware licenses to meet changing conditions.
Automatic Updates
Dell SonicWALL automates deployment of anti-virus signature and software updates for all client products, ensuring that every client has the latest software and signatures as soon as they are available. There is no time-consuming manual intervention required, no software to download, no websites to check. It all happens automatically, day or night. Protection is delivered faster, so there’s less chance of a new, “zero-day” virus getting through because a client’s virus signatures or software are not up-to-date.
Policy-Based Management & Reporting
Compliance with both internal policies and external regulations requires visibility and reporting. Dell SonicWALL Anti-Virus Policy Management and Reporting can be accessed through the web interface of the Dell SonicWALL firewall appliance. Centralized reporting provides information about the state of each user, historical data on past infection detections, and information on each computer’s operating system. The policy engine allows the IT administrator to centrally manage network wide endpoint deployments easily by allowing the creation and management of multiple policies and/or groups.
Policy-based management:
•Scheduled and manual scan settings
•Configurable spyware protection mode
•Excluded files and folders
•Manage approved programs list
•Granularly configurable virus and spyware protection settings
Top Reports:
•Systems out-of-date
•Systems up-to-date

•Most-infected machines
•Detailed system reporting of each machine
