Innovative Web-Based Administration Antivirus Solution Soon to be
Available Worldwide
GLENDALE, CA - December 17, 2003 - Panda Software announced today the
availability of the preview program for its new Panda WebAdmin Antivirus
(Powered by Secure Resolutions) in the USA. This is a new solution offered
jointly by Panda Software and Secure Resolutions to protect computer
systems and networks against malicious code that can be managed securely
and remotely via the Internet.
The powerful management functionalities incorporated in WebAdmin Antivirus
allows companies to protect their IT infrastructure with the latest
antivirus technology within minutes. Its advanced technology means that
users of this new Panda Software product can install and update the
antivirus protection even on computers that are not connected to the
corporate network or those without an Internet connection
"I have totally switched my entire LAN to Panda WebAdmin Antivirus
exclusively because of its reliability. I will be recommending your product
to our corporate IT people, who support 90,000 computers. Moreover, I’ve
installed it on my parents home computer …. That is how strongly I feel
about the product," said Robert Haney, IT Manager, TYCO INTERNATIONAL
Panda WebAdmin Antivirus uses two technologies (Powered by Secure
Resolution) to keep all computers in the corporate IT structure constantly
updated: “Distributed Server Internet Sharing” and “Distributed Server File
Sharing”. The first of these allows computers without an Internet
connection to have their antivirus protection updated by using computers
with an Internet connection as gateways. The second technology lets
machines with updated protection to share the update files with other
computers in the network. This minimizes bandwidth usage in the corporate
network.
To further increase security, Panda WebAdmin Antivirus looks for updates
both of the product and the virus signature file when machines are started
up as well as at regular intervals scheduled by the user. Panda WebAdmin
Antivirus guarantees not only the most advanced antivirus protection on
computers, but also the best defense against new viruses thanks to its
automatic, daily updates.
Panda WebAdmin Antivirus can be installed in two different ways:
• Through an automatically generated URL. The Panda Software server
creates an Internet address that network users can connect to in order
to download and install the antivirus software on their computers
automatically. This type of installation allows antivirus protection
to be deployed even to laptop computers that only occasionally connect
to the corporate network.
• Through remote deployment. If the system administrator selects this
option, they can install the antivirus on every computer on the
network (including machines without an Internet connection) through an
Active X control.
Companies will find WebAdmin Antivirus licensing system highly cost-
effective, as they can purchase only the number of licenses they need to
best suit the needs of their computer network.
WebAdmin Antivirus (Powered by Secure Resolutions) has been designed to
provide companies with maximum protection against all types of viruses
without a need for a dedicated antivirus administration server. It also
allows enterprises to monitor the antivirus protection for all of its
workstations and servers across the organization, regardless of where they
are located or what type of machine, such as laptops, without a continuous
network connection.
WebAdmin Antivirus (Powered by Secure Resolution) offers equal or higher
performance than traditional antivirus applications but with lower
administrator intervention, resulting in reduced maintenance costs.
Installing this solution from Panda Software prevents the need for a
dedicated antivirus administration server and does not use up valuable
storage space, as all the processes are carried out using Panda Software’s
servers.
Similarly, WebAdmin Antivirus allows installations in different offices to
be managed via a single computer, ensuring that all the company’s computers
are always protected, even if they are miles away.
WebAdmin Antivirus also offers other advantages over traditional antivirus
programs, including:
• It ensures that computers without Internet access are protected, as it
can be updated via LANs.
• Completely automatic, hands-off updates.
• Fault-tolerance and secure communication.
• Time saving for administrators.
• Easier management and installation.
• Optimized resource usage in the workstations protected, and reduced
bandwidth usage.
• Customizable settings for each user.
To adapt to the specific needs of each company, WebAdmin Antivirus is
available in two versions:
• Panda WebAdmin Antivirus for workstations.
• Panda WebAdmin Antivirus for workstations and file servers.
