ESET, a global pioneer in proactive protection for 25 years, announced the global release of ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server. The launch makes ESET one of the few anti-virus vendor to provide protection to users of the new Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013.
Companies using ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server are secured with real-time protection of their servers and file systems. They're protected against cyber threats including those aimed at file system entry, drive-by downloads, or system exploits and vulnerabilities. In addition, ESET technology delivers proven protection while leaving more system resources for the server's vital tasks.
"This gives an additional layer of protection, as users could mistakenly upload compromised files to the SharePoint Servers and infect a database. ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is built on the same principles as ESET File Security for Microsoft Windows Server, but adds a dedicated SharePoint protection component," says Carey van Vlaanderen, CEO: ESET Southern Africa.
The product offers anti-virus and anti-spyware protection, rule-based filtering, smooth operation identification, ESET SysInspector and ESET SysRescue. From the fifth generation of server products, ESET LiveGrid technology enables the company administrators to apply complex security policies for real-time on-access scanning and to perform deep on-demand and scheduled scans of the entire SharePoint data store by scanning objects within the database.
Remotely manageable via ESET Remote Administrator, the product also includes rule-based filtering that, based on the several criteria including real file type, allows specifying which files to scan, helping to optimise resource utilisation.
