IT administrators get more firepower to deal with security menace As pests, adware, and other malicious applications infiltrate corporate computers with greater frequency, some vendors, including McAfee and Computer Associates, are bundling anti-spyware into security management suites, giving IT more tools to control the hazard.This week McAfee unveiled its Anti-Spyware Enterprise Edition Module, folded into its VirusScan Enterprise 7.1 and 8.0i anti-virus products. The module is managed centrally under a single security console with McAfee’s ePolicy Orchestrator for the enterprise and with ProtectionPilot console for small to midsize businesses.Last week CA released eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware r5, which is integrated into CA’s eTrust Security Management portfolio. The product allows security administrators to manage anti-spyware protection for network desktops locally and remotely. Combining anti-spyware with security management serves a growing need in enterprises, said Michael Osterman, founder of Osterman Research.“There are point solutions for spam, messaging, and spyware. You have to manage all that,” Osterman said. “Now people are starting to look at a one-stop shop approach.” SecuritySoftware DevelopmentTechnology IndustryIntrusion Detection SoftwareMalwareCareers
