ESET Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server features
The latest version of ESET Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server is designed to protect servers (domain controllers) in network environments and includes key features specific for server use. A key advantage is that recommended server installation settings are built into ESET Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server (refer to Automatic Exclusions below). There is no need to set the best practices exclusions onto a server operating system or desktop computer used in a server role. This functionality is one of several server-specific features in ESET Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server.
- Antimalware: This technology prevents attacks and eliminates all threats with cloud-powered scanning for even better detection rates. It uses a layered security model where each layer, or phase, has several core technologies.
- ESET LiveGuard Advanced: An ESET cloud-based service. When ESET Server Security detects suspicious code or behavior, it prevents further threat activity by temporarily putting it into the ESET LiveGuard Advanced quarantine.
- ESET Cluster: ESET Cluster enables managing multiple servers from a single location. Joining workstations with nodes will offer additional management automation due to the ability to distribute one configuration policy across all cluster members.
- OneDrive scan: This feature scans files in OneDrive cloud storage. It is available for the Office 365 business account.
- Processes Exclusions: This feature excludes specific processes from antimalware on-access scanning.
- Automatic Exclusions: This feature includes automatic detection and exclusion of critical server files. All required exclusions are automatically set based on installed software and server roles (on restart).
- Advanced Setup Tree: The Advanced Setup Tree is designed for intuitive navigation. Settings are divided into the Server protection sector to manage all of the settings related to server protection and Computer protection to manage malware and infiltration protection on the host machine level.
- e-Shell (ESET Shell): e-Shell is a command line control interface that offers advanced users comprehensive administrative options.
- ESET PROTECT On-Prem: Integration with ESET PROTECT On-Prem, including scheduling an On-demand scan.
- Component-based installation: This feature customizes installation to contain only selected product parts.
- Hyper-V scan: This feature allows scanning Virtual Machine (VM) disks on a Microsoft Hyper-V Server without needing an Agent on the specified VM.
- Firewall: The Firewall controls all inbound and outbound network traffic on your computer based on internal rules and rules you set.
ESET Server Security also includes some features not available in ESET endpoint products, such as:
- Enhanced Log Viewer: More powerful options to search and sort log file entries.
- SysInspector Integration: No need to download the standalone app as SysInspector is now integrated into the program.
- Improved graphical user interface for streamlined management.
