Updates for Linux Mail Servers.The 1.6.1 generation of BitDefender BitDefender is an antivirus software suite developed by Bucharest-based software company SOFTWIN.

The released products feature, among other things, a brand new technology, entitled en·ti·tle tr.v. en·ti·tled, en·ti·tling, en·ti·tles 1. To give a name or title to. 2. To furnish with a right or claim to something: "Update Pushing" which allows updates to be automatically "pushed' from BitDefender servers to BitDefender clients, instead of being checked and "pulled' by the clients themselves from the update servers. This allows BitDefender to minimize the window of vulnerability A window of vulnerability or wov is a time frame within which defensive measures are reduced, compromised or lacking. The term is used with reference to military defences of strategic assets, and also by analogy in computer software to a software vulnerability which is open in case of virus outbreaks, deploying virus signatures, scanning engines or antispam definitions in just a few seconds since the virus or the attack has been detected by the BitDefeader Labs. The products come with a completely new statistics module, which implements persistent counters for emails, files and objects. Statistics are stored in a xml file, and can also be viewed either in console (locally) or remotely, via the BitDefender Remote Admin. Thus, the network administrator has a crystal clear picture of the ongoing mail traffic, as well as of the increased productivity yielded by BitDefender. Another key addition to the feature set of the new products, BitDefender Swiss Army kniFE, is a tool introduced in the new generation, which is capable of patching any and all installed BitDefeader components. This tool enables a previously-unheard of ability: that of patching installed products on-the-fly. www.bitdefender.com |
