Real-Time Protection for Servers

Fighting a virus it can be difficult, costly and time-consuming once it has entered a corporate network.

F-Secure's security solutions for servers protect against viruses and other threats, ensuring that infected computers do not spread viruses across the network. They are designed to work silently in the background to protect against network disruption, decreased productivity and threats to confidential data.

Citrix MetaFrame solutions enable businesses to improve their productivity by providing easy access to information and applications regardless of time, place and access device(s). Because worms and viruses can cause severe disruptions in business continuity and productivity, it is important to minimize the risk of server downtime by using real-time antivirus protection that is updated automatically, frequently, and fast when new virus epidemics arise. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Citrix Servers works automatically and transparently updating virus definitions multiple times a day to stay ahead of the fast-spreading virus outbreaks.
