Servers that are not likely to become malware-infected
Research Paper
Servers that are not likely to become malware-infected, as end users will reduce the risk of damaging or stopping an outbreak before malicious files enter the user’s PCs on File and Print Servers or infected attachments. Most malware requires some form of interaction to successfully assault and often rely on social engineering to make users take action that can infect their device. However, depending on how fragile servers are, it is worth ensuring that they have antivirus, even without human interaction, to secure the servers.
Antivirus is often left off from servers due to performance problems caused by real-time scanning, or the possibility that AV software can quarantine files critical for line-of-business operations. Servers should have enough memory to improve performance so they can support widely used memory files instead of hard disk access. AV disk scans can be conducted out-of-hours to ensure that output is not compromised.
The team chooses Avast antivirus; Avast is one of the world’s leading providers of security software (Sauve & Bilgrami, 2019). It is especially successful due to its free antivirus product, which produces millions of PCs worldwide Avast has launched Avast for Business Free Antivirus in an exciting development, which also operates on Server Operating Systems like Windows Server 2012. There is hardly any free antivirus software currently available for Windows Server OS.
The team even choose Intercept X as back up antivirus for the server (Cui, Zhang, Liu & Cao, 2017). Intercept X for Server offers security that has been highly regarded by industry experts, incorporating server-specific functionality to create a robust, sustainable solution for protection. It is a Threat Detection and Response Automatically. Intercept X for the Client allows you unprecedented device visibility. Hunt down evasive risks, see and track correctly which applications are running and respond automatically to incidents.
