Network Associates Offers Continuous Anti-Virus Protection for
Linux Servers With McAfee LinuxShield McAfee LinuxShield Provides a
Scalable Defense From Viruses, Worms and Other Malicious Code
Targeting Linux Systems SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 24
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network Associates, Inc. , the leading
provider of intrusion prevention solutions, today announced the
availability of McAfee(R) LinuxShield, providing comprehensive
anti-virus protection for Linux-based platforms. With McAfee
LinuxShield, enterprise users can proactively protect file servers
running Red Hat and SuSE from viruses, worms and other malicious
code threats. Linux, which is a free Unix-type operating system, is
fast becoming the development platform of choice for government,
healthcare and education, as well as large enterprises that are
installing it on selected servers. While the operating system is
primarily being adopted as a server platform, use on end node
systems are growing. In addition, windows viruses can pass through
Linux servers infecting attached workstations. With multiple
avenues for attackers to compromise a network through the discovery
and exploitation of vulnerable systems, proactive anti-virus
defense is essential to protecting Linux users connecting to the
corporate network. "Most new viruses, worms, and blended threats
are targeted at Microsoft operating systems, but invade the
enterprise via a series of non-Microsoft platforms such as routers,
firewalls, and Linux platforms," said Eric Hemmendinger, research
director for security and privacy at Aberdeen Group. "McAfee
LinuxShield helps IT decision-makers prevent the Linux platforms
from being exploited as network entry points for Microsoft-targeted
viruses, worms, and blended threats." "Many Linux viruses don't
require user interaction, unlike most Windows attacks that depend
on the user to run an attached file in order to infect the computer
-- making it of paramount importance to ensure that servers are up
to date with the latest anti-virus protection," said Raj Dhingra,
vice president of corporate and product marketing at Network
Associates, Inc. "McAfee LinuxShield provides heuristic and generic
detection, and includes an architecture that can scan all file
system types. In addition, McAfee LinuxShield records all scanning
information, aiding enterprise users in troubleshooting." Based on
the award winning McAfee scan engine, McAfee LinuxShield offers
unique, always on protection from threats to stop both Linux and
Windows viruses before they infect the user's system. Key features
include: -- Unique On-Access Scanning -- McAfee LinuxShield offers
a Linux-based on-access scanner, constantly monitoring systems for
new attacks. -- Automated Updates that Occur Seamlessly -- McAfee
AutoUpdate ensures updates are provided automatically and rapidly
via FTP, providing up-to-date protection against the latest
threats. In addition, updates happen seamlessly, without the need
for a server restart. -- Increased Performance -- McAfee
LinuxShield utilizes superior technology and architecture for
increased performance, including kernel scanning cache, to ensure
that processing power is not wasted. -- Heuristic and Generic
Detection -- McAfee LinuxShield identifies new viruses before a
patch is available, based on virus type activity. -- Detailed
Online Help -- McAfee LinuxShield users can access online support
quickly and easily with detailed help. McAfee LinuxShield is
managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator(R) (ePO(TM)), the first and
only truly scalable system security management tool for managing
and enforcing anti-virus protection and policies. McAfee ePO gives
IT administrators the visibility they need to evaluate their
protection's effectiveness, enforce protection, and customize
reports to fit their specific needs. Administrators can manage
policies and deploy protection while generating detailed graphical
reports. Availability McAfee LinuxShield is now available from
