  • Highly flexible architecture that blends agentless and agent-based solution to address enterprise needs from stationary systems to frequently disconnected mobile devices or locations with bandwidth constraints.
  • Includes full support for Microsoft® Vista and x64 operating systems.
  • Centralized security policy management where the distributed policy managers go to a specified distribution server to obtain approved patches, XML and engine updates.
