CA’s eTRUST ANTIVIRUS 7.1 STREAMLINES SECURITY MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE PROTECTION ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE

Integrated Multi-Platform Console, Out-of-the-Box Reports Help Reduce Risk, Cost and Headaches

Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) announced the latest version of its award-winning virus management solution, eTrust Antivirus. The new features are designed to help customers successfully fend off the onslaught of viruses and worms across large, heterogeneous IT environments.

According to a recent survey by Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), more than 80 percent of security breaches are attributable to inadequate security administration and/or insufficient IT security knowledge. eTrust Antivirus 7.1 directly addresses these challenges by ensuring that its state-of-the-art safeguards are implemented at all potential points of vulnerability, enabling security administrators to effectively protect the enterprise from new and mutating threats.

“The challenge in fighting virus attacks has more to do with distributing and updating protection everywhere it's needed than it does with the antivirus scanning itself,” said Jim Vellella, associate director, Technical Services at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, one of the largest nonprofit integrated health care systems in the United States. “By simplifying and streamlining our ongoing antivirus activities, this latest version of eTrust Antivirus is enabling us to take control and further reduce our exposure to malicious code without requiring us to devote additional staff to antivirus administration.”

New features in this latest version of eTrust Antivirus include:
  • A centralized management console to protect across Windows, NetWare, Macintosh, UNIX and Linux environments
  • Administrative controls for managing IT environments of virtually any size with maximum time- and resource-efficiency
  • More than 60 out-of-the-box reports that keep security managers informed about threat levels, sources of infection, “Top Ten” virus attacks, signature exceptions, and other critical vulnerability indicators
  • Native support for Microsoft 64-bit Windows Server 2003 for Intel and AMD and added support for Network Appliance's Filer storage device
  • Enhanced support for PDA, Macintosh, Linux, zSeries Linux, UNIX and NetWare platforms
  • Auto-discovery of unprotected assets
  • Integration with CA's eTrust Security Command Center, enabling organizations to better assess their real-time security risks and take corrective action
  • Integration with CA's Unicenter for common event notification
  • Integration with CA's BrightStor ARCserve Backup for secure data protection
“No customer has unlimited resources to throw at virus protection, despite the importance of protecting the enterprise against the torrent of threats it faces,” said Brad Meehan, director of eTrust security management at CA. “With eTrust Antivirus, CA has delivered the industry's most effective solution for managing virus protection across the enterprise.”

eTrust Antivirus 7.1 offers superior antivirus protection at an entry point of $40 per user -- including daily, digitally-signed signature updates and 24 x 7 technical support for one year at no additional charge. It is available directly from CA and from authorized CA channel partners in traditional boxed, licensed and OEM/system builder offerings. In Europe, eTrust Antivirus is available exclusively from CA channel partners.
