BitDefender Security for Samba

Even though Samba file servers are UNIX-based, they serve Microsoft® Windows workstations and server domains. The file servers are not just a network repository for the company’s files. Unlike their name suggests, file servers provide critical infrastructure services to ensure communication and interoperability between desktops, printers, and other resources found within the network.

Samba file servers are capable of spreading the following security threats;

• Malicious code through shared files
• Compressed, infected archives
• Viruses, Trojans and Rootkits
• Worms and Spyware

Companies can protect their Samba file server deployments from attack by using BitDefender‘s ability to scan for malicious code in files, help ensure compliance to corporate security policies and prevent sensitive data from being distributed outside of the organization.
