Ensure continuous, automatic protection
Enforced Client safeguards your computers with:
Continuous protection — From the time a client computer is turned on until it is turned off,
Enforced Client silently monitors all file input and output, downloads, program executions,
inbound and outbound communications, and other system-related activities.
Instant discovery — When Enforced Client detects a virus threat, it attempts to clean the
item containing the threat before further damage can occur. If an item cannot be cleaned, a
copy of it is placed in a quarantine folder and the original item is deleted.
Customized threat response — By default, Enforced Client provides a high degree of
protection against threats. You can also configure the response to detections of potentially
unwanted programs and suspicious activity to suit the needs of your business: take immediate
action to clean, quarantine, or block the detection; prompt users for a response; or only log
the detection for administrative reports.
Automatic updates — Enforced Client checks for product updates at regular intervals
throughout the day, comparing security components against the latest releases. When a
computer needs a newer version, the client software automatically retrieves it.
Avert Early Warning system and outbreak response — Enforced Client uses the latest
information about threats and outbreaks as soon as they are discovered by SonicWALL Avert
Labs, a research division of SonicWALL. Whenever Avert Labs releases an outbreak
detection definition (
DAT) file, your network receives it promptly.
