ESET Security for Kerio

ESET Security for Kerio is exactly what the name suggests: a protection tool for Kerio servers. By installing it on the server offers the possibility to manage both Kerio Connect (mail server) and Kerio Control system.

The tool includes proactive anti-malware measures for email and web traffic processed by Kerio products and provides filtering options based on user-defined rules as well as a remote management console.

For those accustomed to the interface of Eset products the package should look familiar, with the main menus being available within easy reach.

The main application window shows the current state of the system and offers options for checking the activity on the system along with statistics for objects that have been infected and cleaned.

Customization options are present in the configuration panel of the application where rules can be enforced for a better protection of the system.

Managing the application can also be done by running command-line scripts, via the built-in eShell utility. Remote administration abilities are also included in the suite, through the remote management console.

Just like most antivirus products for consumers, this version of ESET can detect and eliminate malware automatically and requires updates in order to provide protection against the latest threats.

Although it is intended for a particular type of environment, ESET Security for Kerio is not difficult to handle, even by a regular user. It sports all the layers of protection specific for consumers but they are adapted for Kerio products and the data they process.

Also, it features remote administration capabilities and command-line support that can help administrators enable different configurations by running specific scripts.
