4 PROTECTING NON-WINDOWS COMPUTERS

THE NEED TO PROTECT NON-WINDOWS COMPUTERS

It has become increasingly important to protect Mac, Linux, UNIX and other

computers. The ability of non-Windows computers to harbor and spread

Windows viruses, the occasional appearance of targeted Mac and Linux

viruses, and legal demands that every computer be protected, all place an

increasingly heavy burden on your shoulders.

Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X and Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux, and Sophos

Anti-Virus for UNIX offer a powerful, intuitive solution designed for corporate

servers, desktops, and laptops.

SOPHOS ANTI-VIRUS FOR MAC OS X

Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X detects viruses, spyware, Trojans, and worms

in real time and on demand, and automatically cleans Windows as well as Mac

malware. Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X also detects viruses in compressed

attachments, including recursive archives.

Management control from either Mac or Windows platform

Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac can be managed either by using Sophos Update

Manager for Mac or Sophos Enterprise Console (Windows). You do not need to

run both of these administrator interfaces to ensure that Sophos Anti-Virus for

Mac OS X is kept up to date

Centralized management

Enterprise Console enables you to conﬁgure and manage anti-malware

protection for Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX computers, network-wide from

a central point. Enterprise Console does require a Windows computer to be

available and offers enhanced management functionality.

If you are on a Mac only network, then Sophos Update Manager for Mac allows

updating and conﬁguration from a single Mac computer. It enables you to

set automatic updating and choose how you receive email notiﬁcations. You

can also determine how scanning will be implemented on Mac desktops and

laptops, and enables full centralized conﬁguration of the desktop settings

Automatic updating from SophosLabs

You can use either Sophos Enterprise Console or Sophos Update Manager for

Mac OS X to manage updating software and protection.

You can specify the address, username, and password needed for computers to

update themselves with the latest virus identity ﬁles (IDEs) from SophosLabs.

Alternatively, you can set computers to update themselves from the CID (the central

installation directory, which is set up on the network during the install process).
