Software and hardware

If the firewall can be compared to the fence around the enterprise, then the antivirus (endpoint protection means) is a guard box. Streaming antivirus meets each incoming package at the entrance and sometimes searches the suspicious ‘guests’. Antivirus installed on end devices (in the workplace of the users and servers) is responsible for ensuring that no one had tried to misbehave there. If the antivirus is absent, the first incoming e-mail with a locker virus paralyses the company. So, usually at least most common solution is installed and working. Most often, we use the antivirus products by Kaspersky Lab, Dr.Web, ESET NOD, etc.

They are patrol officers, who run across the network and check if everything is OK. They are the first to find a hole in the fence, they are the first to realise that someone forgot to install the correct settings when extending the network and so on. In a more aggressive mode, SAT attempt to ‘break’ the network as a middle-tier hacker and if they succeed, immediately report the security officer about location of a weak spot. Security analysis tools is unnecessary while upgrading infrastructure, but critical, if you want to maintain a good protection for years after implementation. That means, yes, they are necessary, but their acquisition may be slightly postponed in comparison with the basic implementation. We use MaxPatrol 8, XSpider, ViPNet TIAS, Skaner-VS and other solutions.

There are solutions protecting of leaks from the phones of employees. We use Secret MDM, ViPNet Connect, SafePhone and others.
