Protect against many kinds of threats

Enforced Client protects against a broad range of threats:

„The virus and spyware protection service checks for viruses, spyware, unwanted programs, and other potential threats borne on removable media or brought in from your network, including via email. Every time a file on your computer is accessed, your service scans the file to make sure it is free of viruses and spyware.

„The firewall protection service establishes a barrier between each computer and the Internet or other computers on your local network. It silently monitors communications traffic for suspicious activity and takes appropriate action, such as blocking.

„The browser protection service displays information to safeguard client computer users against web-based threats. Users can view website safety ratings and safety reports as they browse or search with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

„The email security service protects against email threats by scanning messages before they are received. It blocks or quarantines detections of directory harvest attacks, spam, phishing scams, viruses, and other email-borne threats in messages and attachments, to prevent them from reaching client computers. The email security service is available with Enforced Client Advanced.

„The email server security application, SonicWALL GroupShield® for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino, provides comprehensive virus protection for the email and other content entering and leaving your Microsoft Exchange Server 2000/2003 environment. Proactive anti-virus scanning and an automatic outbreak manager prevent malicious code from disrupting the system, while advanced content filtering allows administrators to set up rules for inappropriate content, sensitive information, and adding disclaimers to messages.
