Case Study: Preventing Virus Infection
The Challenge
The customer needed to extend Internet access and email to all staff, whilst ensuring that they were protected against viruses which could arrive by email, or by direct exposure of workstations to the Internet.
Our Solution
We installed an Internet firewall/router to enable internet access, and configured workstations to use this. We updated and expanded the email system to cover all staff, and installed an anti-spam filter.
We installed a McAfee Antivirus console, which took control of the anti-virus settings on each computer, ensuring that each computer was kept up to date, with no operator or user involvement required on a day-to-day basis.
We monitor the anti-virus console remotely, and are able to see the current status of the anti-virus software on each computer, and take action if we see a problem arising. The console also advised us of any intercepted viruses.
