THE INTERFACE
As soon as you activate your subscription to the Bitdefender Small Office Security, you’ll be able to login to a Web-based interface that’s known as the “Control Center”.
This is a super easy-to-use interface that allows you to keep your company’s endpoints secure with almost no hassle at all. Really, there’s barely any effort to it.
From this Control Center, users can easily and conveniently manage antimalware on all PCs within their established business network, and that includes both “roaming” laptop endpoints as well as remote office endpoints.
While the security suite is cloud-based, each protected system receives a local program called Endpoint Security, which can be downloaded manually to each computer or remotely deployed from within the Control Center itself.
The main page of the Control Center features a dashboard that displays an easy-to-read status snapshot of all of your managed clients, and the dashboard itself comes divided in four different sections. There’s the Malware Activity section, a Malware Status screen, a board with the Top 10 Detected Malware, and a section that displays the Computer Protection Status.
Each section will simply display a graph in different shades of red and green that indicate how well your network is doing in terms of its cybersecurity.
While the Malware Status section includes a pie chart that illustrates how many systems are infected, completely clean, or already fixed and free of virus and/or malware, the Top 10 Detected Malware section features a bar graph that can help you to determine if specific known viruses are hitting and hurting your business’s servers.
Other than that, you have six other tabs that you can use to install protection and manage settings, run reports, remotely manage quarantined files, as well as set and apply different cybersecurity policies, or even check for different user activity logs.
While any administrators that you’ve selected (any computers within your network that you establish as a”admins”) will have full privileges to controlling the system, employees will only have access to network security and user management.
