Sophos Enterprise Manager

Enterprise Manager is a suite of administration and updating tools that enables Sophos products and new virus identity files to be downloaded automatically. The files are distributed from the Sophos Databank website to a local file server and then distributed to the desktops running Windows. Enterprise Manager automatically connects at preset times and on-demand to check that the downloaded Sophos software is up to date. The Remote Update application extends this facility to remote workers, enabling laptops and desktops to be updated automatically. Enterprise Manager also ensures the integrity of any downloaded file, checking that it has not been tampered with or corrupted.

EM Library, part of the Enterprise Manager suite, collects Sophos Anti-Virus updates from the Sophos Databank - a dedicated Sophos website - at pre-set times and on-demand. Network administrators can monitor their networks at all times and EM Library notifies them automatically when updates have taken place.

SAVAdmin is a graphical management tool that makes the installation, configuration and monitoring of Sophos Anti-Virus across a multi-server Windows network fast and controllable. It allows administrators to deploy Sophos Anti-Virus remotely across an entire multi-site network from one central Windows machine in a single operation, without user intervention.

EM Reporter, part of the Enterprise Manager suite, enables administrators to create summary reports of the viruses detected within their networks, by processing and storing virus alerts generated by Sophos Anti-Virus on Windows clients. It eases management load, by freeing up time otherwise spent collating report logs, and produces graphical reports identifying virus hotspots.

Remote Update lets IT managers easily update remote computers with the latest virus protection and updates of Sophos Anti-Virus software. Home computers, laptops and other computers not permanently connected to the company network can be updated with the minimum of effort, ensuring that they are protected against the very latest virus threats.
