Software Distribution
First-time installation on Windows domains with F-Secure Push
Installation.
Updating of executable files and data files, including virus
definition databases.
Support for policy-based updates. Policies force the F-Secure
Management Agent to perform updates on a host. Both policies
and software packages are signed, making the entire update
process strongly authenticated and secure.
Updates can be provided in several ways:
From the F-Secure CD.
From the F-Secure Web site to the customer. These can be
automatically ‘pushed’ by F-Secure Automatic Update Agent,
or voluntarily ‘pulled’ from the F-Secure website.
F-Secure Policy Manager Console can be used to export
pre-configured installation packages, which can also be delivered
using third-party software, such as SMS, and similar tools.
C
onfiguration and Policy Management
Centralized configuration of security policies. The policies are
distributed from F-Secure Policy Manager Server by the
administrator to the user’s workstation. Integrity of the policies is
ensured through the use of digital signatures.
