Improved Business Client Security

Centralized Management Support

BitDefender Management Server allows centralized management for most BitDefender business solutions installed on network computers, including BitDefender Security for Mail Servers (only UNIX platforms are supported for centralized management). This type of integration allows you to use the Management Server console to get centralized access to:

• Configuration settings for BitDefender Security for Mail Servers
• Critical event information such as update-related events, configuration warnings, license expiration
• Easy-to-interpret statistics and reports based on the information received from BitDefender Security for Mail Servers

BitDefender Technologies

All BitDefender solutions include B-HAVE, a patent pending technology which analyzes the behavior of potentially malicious codes inside a virtual computer, eliminating false positives and significantly increasing detection rates for new and unknown malware.

To better deal with new spam, the BitDefender Lab has created NeuNet, a powerful antispam filter. Inside the Antispam Lab, NeuNet is pretrained on a series of spam messages so that it learns to recognize new spam by perceiving its similarities with the messages it has already examined.

Certified Antivirus Engines
BitDefender&rsqu;s award winning scan engines featuring the B-HAVE technology have been recognized by leading certification bodies tprovide the most proactive antivirus protection available. The BitDefender Antivirus scan engines are certified by ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin and Checkmark.
