What is Managed Antivirus?
The managed antiviral capabilities are intended to assist Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in remaining proactive in the face of both known and developing malware threats. Managed antivirus protects your client networks not only from the most recent known threats, but also from new infections that haven’t been seen before. It does this by performing advanced exploratory checks and behavioral scans of your computer.
Detection and Prevention of Existing and New Malware
A strong signature-based threat detection system can successfully help stop all known attacks. In addition to fighting against previously unknown threats, the rule-based checks employ systematic checks that discover unknown viruses in a sandbox environment that is isolated from a company’s key systems, ensuring that the company’s critical systems are not compromised. Moreover, regular system scans can help find programs that act and behave in ways that are usually linked to malware infections.
Robust Threat Prevention While Putting Minimal Strain on the System
Compact scans reduce the size of scans while allowing system resources to maintain high levels of system performance without requiring additional resources. Increased scanning accuracy may be beneficial in reducing the number of false positives detected. Additionally, deep scans should be planned for after-hours use so that they don’t bother people during important production times.
Strategies to Gain Control Over Your Antivirus Protection
- Default policies: To save time, use default policies for servers, workstations, and laptops.
- Customization: You can change variables like quarantine rules, exclusion settings, and definition update schedules to make your own policies.
- Better control: You may stop or cancel scans based on your system’s requirements.
- Simple deployment: Deploy managed antivirus in bulk across many locations, servers, and workstations.
- Endpoint branding: Configure your managed antivirus instance with your business name, website, and contact information.
- Disk encryption: Using an add-on module, makes the data on end-user devices unreadable to people who aren’t supposed to see it.
