Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Linux File Server
Malicious programs are capable of passing through Linux file servers before targeting other components of a heterogeneous network, e.g., workstations running Microsoft Windows. Although they may be renowned for their reliability, Linux operating systems still require protection; every year there is an increase in the amount of malware being developed for Linux systems.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server 6.0 is a solution offering antivirus protection to the vast majority of Linux file servers. It supersedes two earlier products – Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server 5.7 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Samba Server 5.5, combining their functionalities with a number of new capabilities.
The architecture of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server 6.0 provides multilayered protection for file systems in Linux/heterogeneous networks, functioning simultaneously on the entire file system level and on the Samba server level.
The product offers a substantially wider set of management solutions. Kaspersky Web Management Console, the new web-based interface, provides full-scale management capabilities available from any computer via a web browser. The final release of the product will support all centralized management services via Kaspersky Administration Kit.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server 6.0 supports all modern 32-bit and 64-bit distributions of Linux-family operating systems, including Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, openSUSE, Debian GNU, and Ubuntu. Another improvement on the previous product versions is the added support of Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 and Novell NSS, making it easier for Novell NetWare users to migrate to the new operating system.
