Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection

Next Generation Endpoint Security with Integrated System Hardware and Software management and Instant User Assistance. Comodo ESM Checks All the Boxes…

Whether deployed as a complete security suite or by using the sandbox as a standalone to fortify existing AV solutions, Comodo ESM offers unrivalled endpoint protection for Microsoft Windows servers, desktops, laptops and tablets.

The full Comodo Endpoint Security suite brings 5 layers of defense (Antivirus, Firewall, Host Intrusion Prevention, Auto-Sandbox & File Reputation) to the point of impact - the desktop environment. Its ground-breaking auto-sandbox technology eliminates malware outbreaks and operating system contamination by automatically running untrusted processes in an isolated environment. This makes Comodo's endpoint protection the only managed anti-malware solution that can offer a $5,000* limited warranty against infection.

The Comodo ESM dashboard gives administrators panoramic insight and control over all aspects of endpoint protection and management. Its streamlined interface displays 14 critical metrics about each machine, facilitating rapid alerting and remediation of issues. Administrators can also terminate endpoint processes, stop or start services, uninstall applications and delete unwanted files - all without causing interference to the end-user.

Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows you to control and centrally manage endpoint protection through the application of operational templates or policies. Any deviation from these policies causes Comodo ESM to automatically reapply the assigned policy or alert the administrator if it is unable to do so.

Comodo's endpoint protection also provides administrators with the ability to centrally manage endpoint system resources. Administrators can define operational thresholds for CPU usage, RAM usage, network usage and available storage. Should the thresholds be exceeded, Comodo ESM will alert the administrator through the dashboard and via email notification.

Additional policy configurations include power management such as screen-locking or drive-locking. Your Green initiatives are further enhanced through system-standby and system-hibernation scheduling. Comodo's endpoint protection also offers options for disabling USB mass-storage devices, optical devices and even floppy drives.

FAQs

What protection does Endpoint Security offer?

Comodo Endpoint Security offers 360° protection against internal and external threats by consolidating multiple, cutting edge security technologies in a single, easily installed solution. These include:

  • Comodo's powerful antivirus and award-winning firewall solutions
  • Comodo's innovative Host Intrusion Prevention System which prohibits untrusted executables from tampering with other processes and files
  • Auto-Sandbox™ technology which automatically runs untrusted applications in a contained, isolated environment so they cannot damage the underlying operating system or access user files
  • Integrated 'File Reputation' system uses behavior analysis to help determine the trustworthiness of unrecognized files - all without interrupting the end-user

Comodo is so confident that we can protect endpoints against infection that we are the only vendor to offer a $5,000 Limited Virus-Free Warranty 1

How much system resource is consumed on the endpoint?

On idle, the entire 5-in-1 suite only consumes 7.5MB RAM and doesn’t register any CPU usage in Windows Task Manager.

How do I manage endpoints using Comodo Endpoint Security?

Endpoint can be administered via a list, tile or panoramic display interfaces.

Can the management server be run from a virtual server?

Yes.

Can I manage virtual machines?

Yes. ESM can manage full virtualized machines or virtual machines cloned from templates (requires sys prep utility to be run on master template first).

Where do I deploy the endpoint protection server?

The endpoint protection server can be installed on any supported Microsoft Windows operating systems running on a private cloud server, public cloud server or on-premises server.

I manage endpoints in multiple locations, how do I use Comodo ESM?

You can manage all your endpoints from a single endpoint protection server. Alternatively, you can use Comodo ESM 'Dependent Servers' function so that each site has its own endpoint protection server which you can control from an upstream endpoint protection server.

How do I deploy to my endpoints?

Comodo ESM will auto-discover any endpoints in your Active Directory/LDAP containers. Alternatively, you can use the wizards to 'push' the ESM agents to the systems you want managed. You can 'push' deploy to Active Directory OUs, Microsoft workgroups, single IP addresses or an IP address range. You can also download and save the Windows, Mac or Linux management agents to a shared folder, then use login scripts or Group Policy to 'pull' deploy to your systems.

Is alerting/reporting done on a schedule?

No. Comodo's endpoint protection alerting takes place in real-time.

How do I know when something is wrong?

There are several ways that ESM alerts an administrator.

  • The endpoints tile icon will change color to indicate an infection has been found, the signature database is out of date, the endpoint is not policy compliant or system resource usage has exceeded pre-defined thresholds.
  • The numbers in the information bar's heads-up display will increase.
  • Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection will send you a notification email for any event that you specify.

How are virus database updates received and how are they pushed out?

Virus database updates aren't pushed; instead they are pulled by the endpoint according to the schedule you have set for them. Updates can be received from the Internet or from the ESM server acting as a caching proxy. You can choose to use either (or both) as part of the post-deployment policy configuration. Administrators can also update selected endpoints using the 'Update' button in the administrative interface or on the endpoint's 'Properties' tab.

Can I enable and disable individual components?

Yes. You can choose which components to install (AV/Firewall/Sandbox) during the initial setup or you may re-configure the components at any time thereafter.

Can I configure Advanced Endpoint Protection to use an existing database server?

Yes. Comodo's endpoint protection can use its embedded Microsoft SQL Express 2012 edition or can be configured to use an existing instance of Microsoft SQL 2005 or later (Express, Standard or Enterprise).
