Minimal vulnerability window in case of virus outbreaks
BitDefender has announced that 1.6.1 generation of BitDefender for Linux Mail Servers was enriched with three more dedicated products, BitDefender for Sendmail, Sendmail-Milter and Postfix mail servers, and with a generic SMTP proxy scanner, designed to be compatible with most other mail servers running on *nix systems.
Among others, the released products feature a brand new technology entitled "Update Pushing" which allows updates to be automatically "pushed" from BitDefender servers to BitDefender clients, instead of being checked and "pulled" by the clients themselves from the update servers.
According to local BitDefender distributor Grayford Holton, "this allows BitDefender to minimise the window of vulnerability in case of virus outbreaks, deploying virus signatures, scanning engines or anti-spam definitions in just a few seconds since the virus or the attack has been detected by the BitDefender Labs".
"Furthermore, the products come with a completely new statistics module, which implements persistent counters for emails, files and objects. Statistics are stored in an eye-friendly XML file, and can also be viewed either in console, locally or remotely, via the BitDefender Remote Admin. Thus, the network administrator has a crystal clear picture of the ongoing mail traffic, as well as of the increased productivity yielded by BitDefender," he explains.
Another key addition to the feature set of the new products, BitDefender Swiss Army kniFE (bdsafe), is a tool introduced in the new generation, which is capable of patching any and all installed BitDefender components. This tool enables a previously unheard of ability: that of patching installed products on the fly.
"The bottom line is that all BitDefender users should upgrade their products to the latest available version. Moreover, if you haven`t yet considered migrating to BitDefender for Linux Mail Servers, there is a dozen of good reasons for doing that," concludes Holton.
