Server & Workload Protection provides advanced server security for physical,
virtual, and cloud servers. It protects enterprise applications and data from breaches
and business disruptions without requiring emergency patching. This comprehensive,
centrally managed platform helps you simplify security operations while enabling
regulatory compliance and accelerating the ROI of virtualization and cloud projects.
Server & Workload Protection consists of the following set of components that
work together to provide protection:
- Server & Workload Protection console, the centralized web-based management console that administrators use to configure security policy and deploy protection to the enforcement components, the agent.
- The agent is a security agent deployed directly on a computer which provides Application Control, Anti-Malware, Web Reputation service, Firewall, Intrusion Prevention, Integrity Monitoring, and Log Inspection protection to computers on which it is installed.
- The agent contains a Relay module. A relay-enabled agent distributes software and security updates throughout your network of Server & Workload Protection components.
- The notifier is an application that communicates information on the local computer about security status and events, and, in the case of relay-enabled agents, also provides information about the security updates being distributed from the local machine.
