This platform is built to provide advanced server security, ensuring the protection of enterprise applications and data without the need for emergency patching.
Key Components
- Deep Security Manager: This is the centralized web-based management console that administrators use to configure security policies and deploy protection to the enforcement components. It offers role-based administration, multi-level policy inheritance, and task-automating features like Recommendation Scan and Event Tagging, simplifying ongoing security administration.
- Deep Security Virtual Appliance: This security virtual machine is tailored for VMware vSphere environments and provides agentless protection for virtual machines. In vShield environments, it offers anti-malware and integrity monitoring, while in NSX environments, it extends to include firewall, intrusion prevention, and web reputation modules.
- Deep Security Agent: Deployed directly on computers, this agent provides a range of security features including application control, anti-malware, web reputation service, firewall, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. The agent also includes a Relay module, which distributes software and security updates across the network.
- Deep Security Notifier: This Windows System Tray application communicates security status and events on the local computer and provides information about security updates being distributed from relay-enabled agents.
