How to configure Bitdefender Update Pushing
Bitdefender Security for Exchange safeguards your organizations critical messaging services to protect against email-borne viruses, spyware and spam. Integrating seamlessly with Microsoft® Exchange Server, Bitdefender Security for Exchange combines malware protection, antispam, antiphishing, and content filtering technologies to increase productivity and ensure the overall integrity of your email platforms.
The window of vulnerability is defined as the period of time between the moment when new viruses start propagating and the moment when the antivirus signatures are installed on your server. This is the period when your server, and through it your entire company, is at risk to get infected. The sooner the antivirus signatures get to the server, the smaller the window of vulnerability.
Based on a tested and secure implementation, Bitdefender Update Pushing assures that the antivirus engines and signatures are installed on your server as soon as they are available from the Bitdefender Lab. Working on a 24/7 hours basis, Bitdefender Lab releases new updates every hour. From these updates, based on the level of spreading, Bitdefender specialists select the Bitdefender Critical Updates which are pushed through Update Pushing to Bitdefender products installed all over the world.
The decrease of administrator's workload is obvious as Bitdefender Update Pushing replaces the procedure that is usually implemented in case of virus outbreaks, by automating the process of updating the products as soon as possible.
