Workstations Protection

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

info

Protected computer with an 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 the local network (TCP/IP of version 4 or 6).

Installation

Local installation of the anti-virus package under 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 a detailed description of anti-virus package 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 the anti-virus package on a station:

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

At this, the administrator can either deny or grant permissions to change the Anti-virus settings on one's own station to users.

Get scan statistics and other information on anti-virus component operation and on the 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 the workstation users’ computer skills.

A description of the options for updating installation packages with the help of Dr.Web Server version 13.0 is provided in the Upgrading Dr.Web Agents on Stations under Android OS. section of the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Installation Manual.

In case an anti-virus station is disconnected from the anti-virus network, Anti-virus on station uses the local copy of the settings, and the anti-virus protection on a workstation retains its functionality (up to the 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, the 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.
