Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux can operate both in Standalone mode and as a part of an anti-virus network managed by a central protection server. Operation in Central protection mode does not require installation of additional software or Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux reinstallation or removal.
When Anti-virus is operating in Central protection or Mobile mode, the following options are blocked:
Configuration of SpIDer Guard settings as well as an option to enable or disable SpIDer Guard checks are allowed in dependence on permissions specified on the server.
Logical Structure of Anti-Virus Networks Doctor Web solutions for central protection use client-server model (see the picture below). Workstations and servers are protected by local anti-virus components (herein, Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux) installed on them, which provides for anti-virus protection of remote computers and allows connection between the workstations and the central protection server.
Picture 1. Logical structure of the Anti-Virus Network Local computers are updated and configured from the central protection server. The stream of instructions, data and statistics in the anti-virus network goes also through the central protection server. The volume of traffic between protected computers and the central server can be quite sizeable, therefore solutions provide options for traffic compression. To prevent leak of sensitive data or substitution of software downloaded onto protected computers, encryption is also supported. All necessary updates are downloaded to the central protection server from Dr.Web GUS. Local anti-virus components are configured and managed from the central protection server according to commands from anti-virus network administrators. Administrators manage central protection servers and topology of anti-virus networks (for example, validate connections to the central protection server from remote computers) and configure operation of local anti-virus components when necessary.
Connecting to Anti-Virus Network Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux can be connected to an anti-virus network in one of the following ways:
If Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux is a part of the anti-virus network, you can switch Anti-virus operation between Mobile and Central protection modes.
