Bitdefender Security for SharePoint

The Need For Secure Document Collaboration

Web-based collaboration technologies such as Microsoft® SharePoint® allow departments to easily create, share and manage group project documentation. However, collaboration systems have become an easy access point for malicious code that can cripple a companys infrastructure and waste an enormous amount of time, money and resources when an infection strikes.

Protection against the propagation of malicious code via SharePoint resources should be high on the list of IT priorities. If undetected, viruss have the potential of remaining stored in the SQL based document libraries for months, sometimes even years at a time.

Viruses can be easily introduced into SharePoint sites in a number of different ways, including;

• Saving infected document files to the document library
• Saving HTML web pages with malicious macros
• Embedded viruses and Trojans
• Via an infection propagated through a mapped network drive

Therefore, companies need to protect their SharePoint deployments from attack by using Bitdefenders ability to scan for content within a document to help ensure compliance to corporate security policies and prevent sensitive data from being distributed outside of the organization.

Bitdefender Security for SharePoint provides award winning virus detection, management and reporting features to enable the sharing of information safely throughout an organization

Antivirus

In addition to signature based detection, Bitdefender provides heuristic detection that emulates a virtual computer-within-a-computer, checking all files and code for malicious behavior. This technique produces fewer false positives and significantly higher detection rates for zero-day and unknown threats.

Antispyware

Bitdefender detects and prevents known spyware and adware by using file scanning methods to prevent infections by spyware leading to outbound data leakage.

Trojans and Root Kits

Trojans and Root Kits that are designed to allow remote access to a computer system can be detected by Bitdefenders scanning engine. Detecting and preventing these types of threats manually can be time consuming and often lead to a complete system reinstall if improperly removed.

Signature and Heuristic Detection

In addition to signature based detection, Bitdefender provides heuristic detection that emulates a virtual computer-within-a-computer, checking all files and code for malicious behavior. This technique produces fewer false positives and significantly higher detection rates for zero-day and unknown threats.

Granular Scan Configuration And Management

Bitdefender Security for SharePoint provides on access, on-demand and scheduled scanning methodologies to detect malicious code and use for file quarantine for any infected or suspected files to safeguard the integrity of the SharePoint repository.
