Panda Antivirus for Mac Corporate Edition released

Panda Security launched Antivirus for Mac Corporate Edition, a solution for companies operating with hybrid computing environments, delivering complete protection against all types of malware that affect Macintosh computers.

The product protects Mac desktops, laptops and servers, as well as prevents Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads and iPods from transmitting malware to other operating systems.

The software includes a centralized administration console which simplifies the job of deploying the solution across networks, and facilitates the implementation of security policies and real-time monitoring of security.

This is a major benefit for organizations with limited in-house security expertise and funding but still need a reliable and robust security solution for their Mac-based infrastructure.

Panda Antivirus for Mac Corporate Edition includes two scan engines: one to deliver on-access or resident protection, and the other to perform on-demand scans on folders, files and email, detecting and eliminating or blocking all types of threats.

In addition to protecting against Mac-specific malware, the software also addresses the full range of threats – Trojans, viruses, exploits, spyware, keyloggers, adware, hacking tools, botnets, dialers, scareware, and others – designed for Windows, but which can also affect the Mac platform, particularly web-based threats. The additional protection provided by scanning support for Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod ensures that if any of these devices is carrying malware, it can’t infect other connected devices or Macintosh computers.

Since it operates in the background, taking advantage of available resources and kicking in when resource loads are low, it has little to no impact on system performance and speed.
