BitDefender Technologies
At the core of all BitDefender products there is
B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments). In addition to traditional signature detection and content-based heuristic methods, B-HAVE implements behavior-based heuristics. By emulating a virtual computer-inside-a-computer where pieces of software are run and checked for potential malicious behavior, B-HAVE virtually eliminates false positives and significantly increases detection rates for new and unknown malware.
This proprietary BitDefender technology represents a new security layer that keeps the operating system safe from unknown viruses by detecting malicious pieces of code for which signatures have not yet been released.
Certified Antivirus Engines BitDefender’s award winning scan engines featuring the B-HAVE technology have been recognized by leading certification bodies to provide the most proactive antivirus protection available. The BitDefender Antivirus scan engines are certified by ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin and Checkmark.
Core Functionalities
Samba Integration The product features a precompiled version of the vfs module that allows integration with the latest Samba build available at the technical release date. BitDefender Security for Samba works with any Samba build as its vfs module is opensourced and it can be compiled against any Samba version.
Share Management Better compliance with specific file sharing policies is achieved because the administrator can define separate sets of antivirus rules for each share protected by BitDefender Security for Samba.
Advanced Update System BitDefender Security for Samba retrieves the latest updates and patches either on-demand or automatically (even through proxy servers). The update process is secure and every update is signed, making man-in-the-middle attacks virtually impossible.
SNMP Support BitDefender Security for Samba works with SNMP-based monitoring systems. The SNMP Daemon Plug-in allows performing product management actions via SNMP, such as triggering the update process or restarting the product.
Increased Usability
License Management The license management module enables the administrator to manage the licensing status of the BitDefender Security for Samba users. Users can be added to the license list manually (by the administrator) or automatically (first users that access the server are registered).
Reports and Statistics BitDefender Security for Samba can send customizable e-mail notifications or SNMP alerts about its activity: number of scanned, disinfected, deleted, infected or filtered files. The statistics module displays information about current and past activity in a convenient rrd- based graph or chart format
Intuitive Management Interface BitDefender Remote Admin
This management tool for Unix-based products helps remotely configure any settings in a single interface and check the current status of the product (detailed statistics and update information).
BDSAFE (The BitDefender Swiss Army KniFE) This management tool is the command line interface which allows performing post-install configuration and administration tasks.
Compatibility and Flexibility BitDefender Security for Samba is flexible and configurable up to its smallest detail. It fully complies with FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) and its Rpm, deb and generic .tar.run packages ensure its compatibility with all major Unix-based products.
Services
Upgrades Registered users benefit from free upgrades to any new version of the product during the license period. Special price offers are also available to returning customers.
