1.0 Concepts

ZENworks Endpoint Security Antimalware secures and protects Windows workstation and server devices against viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, zero-day exploits, rootkits, and spyware regardless of their location. This protection is configured through Antimalware policies and settings in ZENworks Control Center and enforced by the Antimalware Agent (scan engine) installed on the devices.

After deployment of the Antimalware Enforcement Policy, you can monitor the effectiveness of Antimalware protection via dashlets on the Security dashboard, as well as see specific malware threats and activity at the device and device folder level.

These sections provide an overview of Antimalware concepts that you need to understand to successfully protect your managed devices from malware threats.
