F-Secure Client Security

Today's challenges

New fast-spreading threats are on the rise as virus writers seek for financial gain. Modern professional cyber-criminals want to stay unnoticed, and they are using advanced technologies to hide their creations from data security solutions. Their attacks are also more targeted, thus a single company or computer might be the recipient of a specific malware assault. And if the antivirus cannot detect it, nobody does. For example, a hiding spyware can cause severe damage to companies by sending out confidential information and lowering computer performance and productivity.

Modern Internet threats require proactive protection and the monitoring of suspicious software behaviour in the systems combined with traditional signature-based protection. 

The solution

F-Secure® Client Security™ provides the highest level of protection for corporate workstations and laptops by combining robust and fast signature-based protection with advanced proactive protection against traditional and new zero-day threats. This award-winning, centrally manageable solution prevents both global and local malware epidemics and intrusions by integrating antivirus, firewall, antispyware, rootkit scanning and behaviour-monitoring (HIPS).

The new F-Secure Client Security version 7.1 has several improvements both in functionality and in performance:

* The solution supports Microsoft Windows Vista operating system

* Improved performance: the product uses less system resources, is faster and its memory footprint is smaller

* Enhanced proactive protection (F-Secure DeepGuard) combined with fast virus signature updates ensures the highest possible security.
