AVG Network edition scheme

Please review the simplified scheme of AVG Network Editions showing the basic connection and interaction of remote administration components in the default and most common configuration:

1. AVG DataCenter
   consists of a database, and AVG Admin Server. The AVG Admin Server performs the role of a mediator between the AVG DataCenter and AVG stations. The AVG Admin Console uses the AVG Admin Server to approach the AVG DataCenter database, and to centrally define stations’ settings and system parameters. AVG stations approach the AVG Admin Server to read the setup parameters; and to save their currently defined setting and scan results into the AVG DataCenter.
   AVG Admin Server also works as a local update source. If you deploy UpdateProxy role to multiple servers, you can then use them for updating stations and keep the bandwidth/load in balance.

Your AVG 8.0 Anti-Virus SBS Edition includes all the components to protect your Microsoft Small Business Server or network in a small to medium business depending on what you have in your network.

Remote AVG Installation

Small network (up to 20 workstations)

If your network consists of about 20 workstations or less, we recommend following the steps described in the Remote AVG Installation – Small Networks chapter.

This type of installation is suitable for small networks with no differentiation of access rights levels. It allows the administrator to install AVG centrally to all workstations in the network.

INTRODUCTION
Worm outbreaks are security events that occur with relatively low frequency, but when they do occur, they can have significant impact on daily network operations. This ever-present threat of severe network disruption has been the motivating factor behind most, if not all, research on practical strategies for worm detection and containment ( see [11, 16, 18, 20, 21] ). There is, however, one desirable aspect of research that falls under the general umbrella of worm mitigation that has received far less attention in the past, namely back-tracking the evolution of a worm outbreak. In fact, thus far there has been little progress in the design and analysis of effective strategies for discovering the sequence with which a worm infected its victims. Even for worms that exhibit uniform scanning behavior, uncovering this sequence is a daunting task, but one that provides invaluable information. For one, doing so has direct pragmatic implications as it allows network operators to pinpoint the initial set of infected machines, thereby gleaning potentially useful forensic evidence.

Thank you for your purchase of the WatchGuard® Firebox® X Edge e-Series. This security device helps protect your computer network from threat and attack. This chapter gives you basic information about networks and network security. This information can help you when you configure the Firebox X Edge. If you are experienced with computer networks, we recommend that you go to the subsequent chapter.

Network Security
While the Internet gives you access to a large quantity of information and business opportunity, it also opens your network to attackers. A good network security policy helps you find and prevent attacks to your computer or network.

Many people think that their computer holds no important information. They do not think that their computer is a target for a hacker. This is not correct. A hacker can use your computer as a platform to attack other computers or networks or use your account information to send e-mail spam or attacks. Your account information is also vulnerable and valuable to hackers.
