Objectives
We work with you to fine tune your ePO and VirusScan settings, reaching the optimal balance between scanning protection and system performance. First we review the existing ePO and VirusScan implementation in your network environment. Then we validate that you comply with your organization’s anti-virus policies. We teach two of your team members how to install, configure and manage ePolicy Orchestrator.
Tasks Performed:
Anti-Virus Policy and Infrastructure Review
With your team, we review your existing network environment and anti-virus policies, and measure how well you comply with your anti-virus objectives.
- Review your network environment, network architecture and network management capabilities
- Confirm that software configurations and software processes comply with your anti-virus policies
- Assess the current level of software compliance (version, engine, virus definition files) and develop a plan to maintain or maximize readiness
ePO and VirusScan Configuration Review and Tuning
We analyze your specific server, agent, and anti-virus software ePO configuration, drawing a roadmap to optimize your protection level. We teach your team members how to manage, customize and maintain the latest ePO version.
- Discuss architectural design and rollout methods to install/upgrade to the latest of ePO and VirusScan versions
- Discuss tuning agent/server communications to optimize the balance between scanning protection and performance
- Plan to deploy and/or maintain the ePO Agent and anti-virus software installations
- Plan to maintain the ePO server and its database, if needed
- Adjust parameters to increase performance without adversely affecting network traffic
- Suggest changes to the ePO directory structure to ease administering and applying tasks, policies, and software deployment
- Demonstrate using ePO to identify and respond to virus outbreaks
- Establish distribution points for repositories of product installation files, DAT virus signature files, and engine upgrade files
- Establish reporting and alerting methods to track anti-virus protection levels and the frequency and severity of virus-related events
