eScan Corporate for Windows is an all-purpose application for protecting data on the local network of an organization. The application ensures protection against viruses and malware, unknown threats and fraud, and allows you to control startup of applications by users and their access to devices and web resources.

Let us find out what are the upcoming features

What's new in the application?

• Wake-on-Lan for Schedule Scan:

The ability to perform almost all tasks in the client computers from a remote location had been a biggest boon to Administrators. eScan makes it possible to schedule full scan at specific time. Some clients miss the scheduled tasks because they may be turned off by the users. Turning on every computer manually is a tough task. This new feature helps an administrator to schedule a scan by waking a system by using Wake-on-Lan feature.

• Safe Mode boot protection:

Most of the time, you need to know a way to keep your data protected and secured even in Safe Mode; e.g., Any one with little knowledge of computers can start your system in Safe mode which is likely to result into all your files and folders becoming readily available to them. ( Please note that this feature can not be managed remotely )

• One Time Password ( OTP )

eScan password protection restricts user access from violating a security policy deployed in a network. e.g. administrator has deployed a security policy to block all USB devices, but someone wants to access it for genuine reason. How would an administrator give him an access without violating the current security policy? OTP delivers the answer for the same by generating one time password for a period of time like 10 minute or one hour for that specified user to disable the module without violating existing policy.

• Document Printing Events:

Would you like to find out what and when was printed with your PC or in your network? May be you would like to keep track on the exact costs of the printing load of your local network bound to the same printer installed in only one work place? May be someone can send a printer task while you are away and you won't even spot those several pages printed? You simply need printer management software to help you keep tabs on what is going on with your printing queue!. eScan goes one step ahead and record all the printing activity and send the events to eScan centralized console, so an administrator can catch hold of the users who are giving non productive print outs, and save cost involved in printer like cartridge and paper.

• Event Caching for offline endpoints:

Many times corporate users carry laptops to home for completing the projects given. It opens up the security hole where an administrator cannot control that users activity from centralized location. In these kind of scenarios, this feature cache the events like virus found, web site visited, application opened etc. and once this endpoint is back in the network these events are sent back to the eScan centralized server to help an administrator to take proactive decision

• New computer found:

It is very difficult for an administrator of a large enterprise, to find out new computers added in his network to deploy a security policy. This feature helps him to find out the new computers being added in his network. So that he can easily manage that computer and deploy the security policies.

What's Improved?

• Firefox Support:

Previously, eScan Management console was only supported with Internet Explorer 6 and above versions. Now it is compatible with Firefox on windows as well as Linux operating systems.

• Time Synchronization for Application control and Web protection:

Once the security policy is set for Application control and Web protection to access it within a particular span of time. Users use to change the system time to fool the policy and use to access the web sites or applications. This feature will record the time when these kind of policies are set, and if any user change his system time it will again be synchronized and the applications and web sites will be blocked as defined.

• USB Modem blocking:

Now days USB Internet Modems, which provides faster internet connection can be brought in by user and can take access of an internet connection. This kind of USB Modems can be blocked by using this feature.
