Workstations Protection

Workstations are protected by the Dr.Web anti-virus packages designed for corresponding operating systems.

info

Protected computer with installed anti-virus package as per its functions in the anti-virus network is called a workstation of the anti-virus network. Please note that according to its LAN functions, such computer can be both a workstation or a mobile device and a LAN server.

Anti-virus packages are installed on protected stations and get connected to Dr.Web Server. Each station is included in one or several groups registered on this Server. Stations and the Server communicate through the protocol used in a local network (TCP/IP of 4 or 6 version).

Installation

Local installation of anti-virus package for Android OS is performed directly on a user’s mobile device. Installation may be implemented either by an administrator or by a user.

info

You can find detailed description of anti-virus packages installation procedures on workstations in the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Installation Manual.

Management

When connection with Dr.Web Server is established an administrator is able to use the following functions implemented by anti-virus package on a station:

Centralized configuration of Anti-virus on workstations via the Control Center.

At this, administrator can either deny or grant user a permission to change Anti-virus settings on stations on one's own.

Get scan statistics and other information on anti-virus components operation and on a state of a station.

Update

Dr.Web Server downloads updates and distributes them to connected stations. Thus, optimal threat protection is implemented, maintained, and adjusted automatically regardless of workstation users’ computer skills.

In case an anti-virus station is disconnected from the anti-virus network, Anti-virus uses a local copy of the settings and anti-virus protection on a workstation retains its functionality (up to expiration of the user’s license), but the software is not updated. If a station is allowed to use the Mobile mode, after connection with the Server is lost, virus databases can be updated directly from GUS.

info

Operation of stations in the Mobile mode is described in the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Administrator Manual.
