| F-Secure to Start 2007 With New Client Security 7 Starting in the new year, F-Secure Corporation will take to a new level the fight against malware threats such as zero-day and rootkit attacks. In January of 2007, F-Secure will make available Client Security 7, the latest version of its software, which will include remarkable new features to ensure world-class data security for corporate customers. The most significant new feature of Client Security 2007 is the F-Secure DeepGuard application which provides zero-day protection against previously unknown malware. It uniquely combines several proactive technologies - such as advanced real-time heuristics, sandboxing and behavior-monitoring – along with signature based antivirus technology to ensure comprehensive data protection. Instead of just analyzing new programs once when they enter the system, F-Secure DeepGuard also persistently monitors the behavior of software in real-time mode, scanning for suspicious program activity and stopping processes that might pose a risk. F-Secure DeepGuard is designed to require as little user intervention as possible thanks to its artificial intelligence as well as tight integration with antivirus and firewall programs. Other innovations in F-Secure Client Security 7 include the ability to find hidden rootkits and lurking spyware through the integrated F-Secure BlackLight rootkit scanning functionality. The remotely managed rootkit scanning provided by F-Secure Blacklight holds a unique position in the market allowing administrators to scan the entire company network, for example, during off peak periods, without affecting network usage. In recognition of the increasing problem of spyware, F-Secure has further improved the spyware protection in F-Secure Client Security 7 - bringing detection and removal capabilities to the next level. Improvements also make spyware protection easier and more flexible thanks to several new scanning options. In addition, F-Secure Client Security 7 includes an expanded quarantine feature to list viruses, spyware and riskware. F-Secure Policy Manager 7, the security management system that comes as part of the F-Secure Client Security 7 package, also brings new functionalities. The latest version includes a unique remote management feature for both F-Secure Blacklight and F-Secure DeepGuard. As before, F-Secure Policy Manager enables IT administrators to install, configure, update, upgrade and monitor all the corporate security solutions from a single location. By combining F-Secure Policy Manager 7 and F-Secure Anti-Virus for Servers 7 with F-Secure Client Security 7, companies can take protection of their computer systems to the next level. New features in F-Secure Anti-Virus for Servers 7 include greater performance, reliability and usability and best-of-breed spyware, rootkit and riskware protection for Windows servers. Overall, F-Secure Client Security 7 has improved use of system resources thanks to major changes to its architecture. As a result the number of running processes is smaller and its performance even greater. In addition, a redesigned automatic update system provides greater control and service over database update delivery. Deliveries of F-Secure Client Security 7 will start in the first quarter of 2007. All customers with a valid F-Secure Client Security license can get a free upgrade to the new version. The solution will also be available for Windows Vista. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
