Anti-Virus White Papers

Detect, Deploy, and Defend Against Outside Threats

Overview The damaging effects of a virus go far beyond the moment of infection. The IT personnel are pulled into enterprise-wide clean-up efforts, and the company sees an immediate negative impact on system availability and employee productivity. One can defend against viruses - and prevent costly downtime - by ensuring that the systems are automatically patched against the latest security threats. Novell ZENworks Patch Management allows a person to determine quickly what patches are right for the organization and automatically apply them across the enterprise. Available for Windows, NetWare, Macintosh, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and more, ZENworks Patch Management closes security holes before hacking, compliance or infringement issues jeopardize the infrastructure.
