perfect -- > for both small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises. A wide range of cross-platform tools designed to ensure the security of workstations, servers, network gateways and virtual environments allows you to build a comprehensively effective protection of the corporate network, taking into account all the features of the organization's information infrastructure and its business processes.
SoundWeb Enterprise Security Suite 13 automates incident detection and response virusozavisimy computer by leveling threats without administrator intervention. The system will not only prevent the infection of individual workstations and servers, but also prevent the spread attacks deep into the corporate network through a comprehensive analysis of malicious activity and network traffic. At the same time, information about all identified incidents is carefully recorded, which allows you to conduct a comprehensive investigation of each incident and eliminate its causes.
The SoundWeb Security Management Center allows you to effectively coordinate your antivirus network, monitor workstations regardless of the type of target devices, manage resource allocation, and configure security policies.
SoundWeb ESS can become the core of the organization's IB system, and can be integrated into the already built information security management structure due to the ability to export data to SIEM.
The key changes to the SoundWeb Enterprise Security Suite 13 are:
- Advanced remote installation and update capabilities of the DBP Agents, including the DBP Agent for Unix systems. The installation of agents is available directly from the DesignCenter and through special utilities. Agents under Android got the ability to automatically update.
- Flexible control of system resource consumption at the protected station, possibility of reducing the priority of tasks for collecting secondary information and limiting the bandwidth of the channel involved in data exchange. This option allows you to use agents both on machines with a limited number of system resources and on high-performance elements of the information infrastructure that operate under constant load.
- Supports lightweight agent mode to protect virtual environments, enabling you to optimize the protection of virtual machines that reside on a single physical server by moving part of the functions to a separate service virtual machine. Using centralized information processing reduces the overall load on the physical server and enables more efficient management of physical server resources.
- Create separate security policies and flexible third-party access control settings for different groups of users whose workstations are protected by Office Control.
- An updated antivirus tree display mechanism that allows you to effectively control even the largest and most extensive protected infrastructures.
Enterprise Security Suite 13.0 with Virtual Environment Protection
On June 16, 2021, SoundWeb introduced an updated beta version of the SoundWeb Enterprise Security Suite 13.0 software with the function of protecting virtual environments through Scanning Servers and Virtual Agent station mode.
Virtualization tools are used very widely: this allows you to significantly save on hardware by hosting on one powerful server many virtual machines that consume exactly as much system resources as necessary to solve their private tasks. Almost any company today uses this approach - from the smallest organizations to the largest corporations.
The use of SoundWeb Enterprise Security Suite, designed to work in virtual environments, allows you to more efficiently save system resources. This is achieved by transferring part of the antivirus functions to a separate virtual machine designed to service antivirus agents on all other virtual machines on the same physical server. Reduced performance can be avoided by using the internal network stack of the physical server.
To work in virtual environments is designed Scanning Server D.Web. It includes:
- a scanning kernel that checks data for threats;
- virus bases and built-in filter bases for Office control.
The load on client virtual machines is reduced by the following factors:
- The scan is performed outside the virtual machines;
- No need to keep virus databases and built-in filter databases on each of them up-to-date;
- use of a virtual network for data transfer between virtual machines located on the same server (hypervisor) provides high data exchange speed and quick verification.
A service virtual machine can be a member of any group. It is also possible to merge scanning servers into a separate group, including automatically based on specified rules.
Placing and configuring the Scanning Servers in groups is the same as for other stations. For more information about managing groups, see Placing Stations in Groups.
The stations communicate with the Scanning Server using the Agent operating in virtual mode. In turn, the Agent operates under the control of the Centralized Security Server.
