BitDefender Security for Samba enables organizations to deploy antivirus and antispyware protection for their Samba network shares running on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris systems. Deployed and maintained centrally within the network, Security for Samba scans cross-platform data structures and file stores for malware, keeping network users safe from virus infection.
Overview
Samba File Servers Are The Backbone Of The NetworkEven though Samba file servers are UNIX-based, they serve Microsoft® Windows workstations and server domains. The file servers are not just a network repository for the companys files. Unlike their name suggests, file servers provide critical infrastructure services to ensure communication and interoperability between desktops, printers, and other resources found within the network.
Samba file servers are capable of spreading the following security threats:
- Malicious code through shared files
- Compressed, infected archives
- Viruses, Trojans and Rootkits
- Worms and Spyware
Companies can protect their Samba file server deployments from attack by using BitDefenders ability to scan for malicious code in files, help ensure compliance to corporate security policies and prevent sensitive data from being distributed outside of the organization.
