Anti-Virus Software Distribution: Managing the Distribution of Anti-Virus Upgrades and Updates Across the Enterprise

Overview Maintaining an effective defense against virus and hostile code threats today involves far more than the ability to produce perfect detection rates at a given point of time. With an average of nearly 300 new viruses discovered each month, the actual detection rate of your anti-virus software can decline rapidly if not kept current. To ensure continued protection, an enterprise-class anti-virus solution must be able to offer timely and efficient upgrades and updates across all client and server platforms, regardless of geographical location or mobile status. The objective of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the anti-virus software distribution solutions.
