Comprehensive and affordable security for virtual environments
F-Secure's Virtual Security solution is designed to protect the modern business culture's need for mixed environments. It protects both public and private cloud solutions, as well as virtual servers and virtual desktops (VDI). It offers support for the most common virtual environments: Vmware, Citrix, Hyper-V, and KVM.
Virtual Security is an add-on product for F-Secure Client Security, using a Scanning and Reputation Server to offload scanning to optimize performance and security. Thus, all Client Security features are available for Virtual Security users as well.
- Specially designed to tackle security challenges in virtual environments
- Hypervisor-agnostic, can be deployed in any virtualization environment (VI or VDI)
- Proactive, behavior-based protection against malware, exploits, phishing, and network-based attacks
17% better performance on a mixed system with Virtual Security than on a system with no Virtual Security

Benefits
F-Secure Virtual Security offers the best protection level for purely virtual, mixed, and hybrid environments. It optimizes performance in virtual environments by offloading scanning to a separate, dedicated server.
Virtual Security allows you to optimize the use of resources in F-Secure products (Client Security and Client Security Premium, Server Security, E-mail and Server Security) by offloading performance-intensive scanning tasks.
The Virtual Security solution offers easy deployment with preconfigured virtual appliances and one-time installation on virtual machine templates.
- Reduces complexity
- Offloads CPU-intensive scanning operations to a dedicated Scanning and Reputation Server to improve performance
- Reduced memory, CPU, and disk space consumption on virtual machines
- A simple pricing model and affordable total cost as one package serves both virtual and physical environments
Features

DETAILS
No more compromise between performance and security
Virtual Security allows you to offload CPU-intensive scanning operations to a dedicated F-Secure Scanning and Reputation Server (SRS) and reduce CPU and memory consumption on virtual machines.
- Offloads malware scanning and content reputation checking to minimize the performance impact
- Performs file reputation analysis, signature-based scanning, compound object scanning, and web content scanning
- Easy deployment with virtual appliances available for all popular virtualization platforms: VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM
Advanced security features for mixed and virtual environments
The lightweight agent installed in clients and servers provides an additional layer of security on top of Scanning and Reputation Server.
- Provides advanced behavioral analysis, web content control, browsing protection, and automatic software updates
- Consumes less resources compared to full agent installation to optimize performance in virtual environments
