Anti-virus protection for on-premises CAV (Centralized Anti-Virus) servers refers to a system designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software (malware) from the servers that host and manage antivirus software for an Organisation's network. CAV servers are central points where antivirus definitions, scans, and policies are stored and distributed to endpoint devices within the network.
The anti-virus protection for these servers ensures:
- Detection: The server identifies known and unknown threats by scanning files, processes, and data streams.
- Prevention: It blocks malicious code from entering the server or spreading to connected endpoints.
- Removal: It eliminates any detected malware from the server and endpoints to prevent infection from spreading further.
- Real-time Monitoring: Continuous scanning and monitoring of the server for any signs of compromise.
- Update Management: The server regularly updates antivirus definitions and software to stay current with the latest threats.
