Introduction to ESET Security Management Center

ESET Security Management Center allows you to manage ESET products on workstations, servers and mobile devices in a networked environment from one central location.

ESET Security Management Center (ESMC) is a new generation of remote management system that differs significantly from previous versions of ESET Remote Administrator (ERA). Since the architecture is completely different, ESET Security Management Center 7 is only partially compatible with ERA 6 and there is no backward compatibility with ERA 5. However, compatibility with previous versions of ESET Security products remains.

To perform a complete deployment of the ESET security solutions portfolio, the following components must be installed (Windows and Linux platforms):

•ESMC Server

•ESMC Web Console

•ESET Management Agent

The following supporting components are optional, we recommend that you install them for best performance of the application on the network:

•RD Sensor

•Apache HTTP Proxy

•Mobile Device Connector

Using the ESET Security Management Center Web Console (ESMC Web Console), you can deploy ESET solutions, manage tasks, enforce security policies, monitor system status and quickly respond to problems or threats on remote computers.
