LogMeIn Central makes securing remote PCs simple with new anti-virus monitoring and management capabilities
Sydney, Australia, August 8, 2012 – LogMeIn, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOGM) just released a new update to its IT automation and management product, LogMeIn Central, that makes it easy to monitor and manage hundreds of versions of anti-virus software through a single, centralised interface. The new capabilities, which include support for popular anti-virus software offerings like Norton, AVG, McAfee, Kaspersky, and Microsoft Security Essentials, give IT professionals the ability to monitor anti-virus installations, run full threat scans, and receive virus threat detections on any number of remote PCs under management. As a result, IT professionals can manage all anti-virus installations – regardless of brand preference -- from a single tool.
LogMeIn’s new Anti-Virus Management feature is designed to let IT professionals:
• Verify anti-virus software is installed and enabled on remote PCs and servers
• Check virus definitions and update if necessary
• Confirm real-time protection is on and turn on if needed
• See last full scan time and initiate full scan if needed
• View a threat log with viruses found on remote computers
• Secure PCs and servers running Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008
Additional information, including a video demonstration of the new capabilities, is available at LogMeIn’s product blog (http://B.LogMe.In).
“When we talked to our customers about anti-virus management, it was clear that threat detection and security are critical mandates, but to date, monitoring and managing a mixed environment of anti-virus products has been a cumbersome task,” said Matt Kaplan, LogMeIn’s Vice President of Products. “The new capabilities in LogMeIn Central were designed to centralise and simplify the most common tasks associated with anti-virus management in a way that makes securing hundreds or even thousands of machines under management incredibly efficient.”
Interest in the new Anti-Virus Management capability was especially high amongst LogMeIn’s managed service provider (MSP) and IT consultant customers, whose businesses often rely on the ability to manage a wide variety of anti-virus software brands and versions.
“Ensuring our clients systems are secure means working with a wide range of anti-virus solutions, and that translates into using several tools as well as a lot of repetitive tasks. With the new Anti-Virus Management capabilities in Central, we can get a nice, centralised view of all security risks impacting our clients systems, and a much more efficient means of taking quick, effective action,” said Larry Velez, CTO, Sinu, a NY-based MSP and LogMeIn customer. “The key for us is how to deliver a superior level of client service in ways that help us grow our business, and we believe the new capabilities of LogMeIn Central will go a long way to achieving that perfect balance.”
Pricing and availability New versions of LogMeIn Central featuring the new Anti-Virus Management capability are immediately available at https://LogMeIn.com. Pricing and packages are available on LogMeIn.com. The new capabilities are available as a free update to existing LogMeIn Central users. Free 30-day trials of LogMeIn Central are available on LogMeIn’s website.
