Securing a Major German Insurer Using a Personal Firewall in the Endpoint Security Solution From Symantec

Tags:
anti-virus

Overview Forewarned is forearmed. That could be the motto by which HUK-COBURG protects its business network and mobile terminals from Internet viruses. Only clients found to be clean in a virus protection test will in future be allowed to log in to the major German insurer, and it's made possible by the personal firewall in Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection software. The solution not only enables the differentiated definition of security requirements to be met by the client for each employee and each location, it also means that the established guidelines on client security are kept under control. Missing updates are immediately detected and automatically carried out. If this is not possible, update gaps are 'Punished' by means of a restricted radius of action.
