AFFILIATED PRODUCTS & VENDORS
Anti-Virus
TNS approaches anti-virus with a multi-layered approach in order to maximize network protection. The 1st line of defense is a UTM-enabled firewall appliance to provide perimeter protection. The 2nd line of defense is software installed at the server level for messaging protection. The 3rd and last line of defense is an AV security client installed on each desktop and laptop connected to the network.
TNS prefers to use a combination of vendor technologies in order to provide a blended solution. This approach ensures that if one vendor technology fails for a given outbreak, the other deployed technologies will still provide protection.
Preferred anti-virus software venders include Trend Micro, Symantec, and McAffee.
