February 2011 by Marc Jacob
Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, has announced the launch of Panda Antivirus for Mac Corporate Edition. This new solution delivers complete protection for corporate environments against all types of malware able to affect Mac OS, Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, protecting users not just against threats designed specifically to target the Apple platform, but also preventing Mac users from transmitting malware for other operating systems. This new solution protects Mac desktops, laptops and servers.
Panda Antivirus for Mac Corporate Edition includes a centralized administration console which simplifies the job of deploying the solution on computers and servers, and facilitates the implementation of security policies and real-time monitoring of security across corporate networks.
Panda Antivirus for Mac Corporate Edition protects against all types of threats in near real-time. It includes two scan engines, one to deliver on-access or resident protection and the other to perform on-demand scans. It can also scan Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod, thereby ensuring that if any of these devices is carrying malware, they won’t infect other similar devices or the Mac computer or server.
It is also designed specifically not to impact performance, as it operates silently taking advantage of available resources or low workloads.
Panda Antivirus for Mac Corporate Edition scans folders, files and email, detecting and eliminating or blocking all types of threats, including Trojans, spyware, keyloggers, adware, hacking tools, botnets, dialers, scareware and other threats initially designed for Windows, but which also affect Mac, such as Macro viruses.
2010: A turning point for Mac security
In 2009 some 34 vulnerabilities were detected in Mac OS. According to Secunia, this figure rose to 308 in 2010, and 67% of these were classified as highly critical, indicating that any attacker could take remote control of unpatched systems, among other actions.
– Price and availability
The solution is available from February 1, 2011 for €20.95 per license for workstations, servers and the administration console (12 months with full services, for license ranges between 100 and 199 seats). Panda Security for Mac Corporate Edition is available in six languages: Spanish, English, French, Italian, German and Japanese (in the last three cases, just for workstations).
