LANDesk® Security Suite Key Features

Secure Management over the Internet with LANDesk® Management Gateway Appliance

With the purchase of LANDesk® Management Gateway Appliance, you can:
  • Manage system security of previously unreachable users across the Internet.
  • Get a secure transport from your corporate environment to field-based or traveling laptops—without a dedicated leased line or VPN and without punching a hole in your firewall.
  • Uses patent-pending technology for up to 4,000 active connections at once.

Advanced Vulnerability Detection

  • Run standard, custom and high-frequency scans to maintain the level of control, speed and frequency you need and monitor antivirus status in real-time and stay on top of pattern file updates for security compliance.
  • Define custom definitions and vulnerabilities to bring your systems into compliance with company or industry standards.
  • Detect spyware, adware, Trojans, key-loggers and other malware.
  • Control how often you download vulnerabilities and definitions.
  • Create lists of authorized or prohibited networks and control access to each computer.
  • Identify systems using wireless network interface cards or running independent antivirus products; see the product’s vendor and version of pattern files.

Remediation Tools

  • Detect and remove spyware in real-time using the LANDesk® spyware/malware database.
  • Control access to compact disc drives, modems, USB and communications ports, and wireless channels such as 802.11x and Bluetooth, including Bluetooth PAN.
  • Stop unauthorized or prohibited applications, even on systems unconnected from the network even if end-users rename the file.

Antivirus Enforcement and Firewall Capabilities

  • Manage your chosen antivirus solution from McAfee, Norton, Sophos, Symantec or Trend-Micro directly from your LANDesk® Security Suite console.
  • Enable and configure the XP SP 2 firewall from the LANDesk Security Suite console and identify unprotected wired and wireless machines.
  • Configure one firewall for all systems or customize the firewall configuration for individual systems or groups of systems.

LANDesk Host Intrustion Prevention (HIPS)

  • Added assurance that you’re equipped to prevent zero-day threats even before the fix is available.
  • Reduced training and infrastructure costs plus better efficiency with a single-console solution for complete layered security.
  • Precise control over what users can and can’t run on your enterprise systems.

Patch Management Tools

  • Identify OS and application patch needs automatically using LANDesk’s comprehensive vulnerability assessment and patch database.
  • Know what new vulnerabilities a patch might introduce by seeing which patches depend on others.
    Control which vulnerabilities you receive alerts on and receive alerts on newly available definitions based on type and severity.
  • Build custom patch packages to address any detected vulnerability; protect your custom patches against tampering with a secure MD5 hash algorithm.
  • Download and prioritize patches then distribute patches across the enterprise using efficient LANDesk® Targeted Multicast™ technology.
  • Get to a fully patched state faster; only needed patches are downloaded from the LANDesk® database; obsolete patches remain available if needed.
  • Patch dependency shows you which patches depend on other patches, so you know what new vulnerabilities a patch might introduce.
  • Patch supercedence lets you download and distribute patches that are needed and filter out older and obsolete patches to give you a more rapid time to a fully patched state; obsolete patches remain available if needed.

Security Assurance

  • Maintain secure configurations using role-based administration and policy-based management tools.
  • Control who can alter your corporate security policy with baseline configuration capabilities.
  • Access reporting capabilities that include trend graphs and security policy and spyware reports.
