| - | <b>• Wake-On-Lan for Schedule Scan:</b> | + | <b>• Outbreak Prevention</b> |
| - | The ability to perform almost all tasks in the client computers from a remote location had been a biggest boon to Administrators. eScan makes it possible to schedule full scan at specific time. Some clients miss the scheduled tasks because they may be turned off by the users. Turning on every computer manually is a tough task. This new feature helps an administrator to schedule a scan by waking a system by using Wake-on-Lan feature. | + | ::Outbreak Prevention will allow the administrator to deploy outbreak prevention policies during an outbreak that restricts access to network resources from selected computer groups for a defined period of time. The outbreak prevention policies will be enforced on all the selected computers or groups. Incorrect configuration of these policy settings can cause major problems with the computers.. |
| + | <b>• Session Activity Report</b> | ||
| - | <b>• One Time Password ( OTP )</b> | + | ::eScan Management Console monitors and logs the session activity of the managed computers. It will display a report of the endpoint startup/ shutdown/ logon/ log off/ remote session connects/ disconnects. With this report the administrator can trace the user Logon and Logoff activity along with remote sessions that took place on all managed computers. |
| - | eScan password protection restricts user access from violating a security policy deployed in a network. e.g. administrator has deployed a security policy to block all USB devices, but someone wants to access it for genuine reason. How would an administrator give him an access without violating the current security policy? OTP delivers the answer for the same by generating one time password for a period of time like 10 minute or one hour for that specified user to disable the module without violating existing policy. | + | <b>• Active Directory synchronization</b> |
| - | <b>• Document Printing Events:</b> | + | ::With the help of Active Directory synchronization, the administrator can synchronize eScan Centralized Console groups with Active Directory containers. New computers and containers discovered in Active Directory are copied into eScan Centralized Console automatically and the notification of the same can be sent to the system administrator. Administrator can also choose to Auto Install or Protect discovered Windows workstations automatically. |
| - | Would you like to find out what and when a print job was carried out in your corporate network? May be you would like to keep track of the printing load in your local network? May be someone can send a print task while you are away and you won't even spot those several pages printed? You simply need printer management software to help you keep tabs on what is going on with your printing queue!. eScan goes one step ahead and record all the printing activity and send the events to eScan centralized console, so an administrator can catch hold of the users who are giving non productive print outs, and save costs involved. | + | <b>• Policy Templates</b> |
| - | <b>• Event Caching for offline endpoints:</b> | + | ::Policy deployment can be made easy through policy templates; this will allow the administrator to create policy templates and deploy it to the desired managed groups. |
| - | Many times corporate users carry laptops to home for completing the projects given. It opens up the security loophole where an administrator cannot control that users activity from centralized location. In these kind of scenarios, this feature cache the events like virus found, web site visited, application opened etc. and once this laptop is back in the network these events are sent back to the eScan centralized server to help an administrator to take proactive decision. | + | <b>• Auto grouping</b> |
| - | <b>• New computer found:</b> | + | ::The administrator can define the settings to automatically add clients under desired sub groups. The administrator will have to Add Groups and also add client criteria under these groups based on host/host name with wild card/IP address/ IP range. |
| - | It is very difficult for an administrator of a large enterprise, to find out new computers added in his network to deploy a security policy. This feature helps him to find out the new computers being added in his network. So that he can easily manage that computer and deploy the security policies. | + | <b>• Software Licensing</b> |
| - | <b>What's Improved?</b> | + | ::Software Licensing option will display the License details of the Windows Operating System and Microsoft Office installed on the Client systems along with the computer count and the details of the system where it is installed. |
| - | <b>• Firefox and other browsers support:</b> | + | <b>• Message Broadcast</b> |
| - | Previously, eScan Management console was only supported with Internet Explorer 6 and above versions. Now it is compatible with Firefox and other browsers on windows as well as Linux operating systems. | + | ::A new add-on feature implemented in eScan Management Console, through which you can make broadcast to multiple Endpoints. |

| - | <b>• Time Synchronization for Application control and Web protection:</b> | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Once the security policy is set for Application control and Web protection to access it within a particular span of time. Users use to change the system time to negate the policy and use to access the web sites or applications. This feature will record the time when these kind of policies are set, and if any user change his system time it will again be synchronized and the applications and web sites will be blocked as defined. | + | |

| - | Now days USB Internet Modems, which provides faster internet connection can be brought in by user and can take access of an internet connection. This kind of USB Modems can be blocked by using this feature. | + | |
