Key Features

The following table provides a list of features that are available in the ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint.

True 64-bit product core

Adding higher performance and stability to the product core components.

Performance Counters

ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Counters enable you to monitor the overall ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint performance.

On-access filter

File protection that works by filtering during file access.

On-demand scan

File protection by database scan, initiated by user or scheduled to run at a certain time.

User defined rules

Allow administrators to create and manage custom rules for file filtering by defining conditions and actions to take with filtered files.

Automatic exclusions

Automatic detection and exclusion of critical applications and server files for smooth operation and performance.

Self-Defense

Protects ESET security solutions from being modified or deactivated.

ESET Cluster

ESET server products are able to communicate with each other and exchange data such as configuration and notifications, as well as synchronize data necessary for correct operation of a group of product instances. This provides for same configuration of the product across the whole cluster. Windows Failover Clusters and Network Load Balancing (NLB) Clusters are supported by ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint. Additionally, you can add ESET Cluster members manually without the need for a specific Windows Cluster. ESET Clusters work in both domain and workgroup environments.

Component-based installation

Choose which components you want to add or remove.

Storage scan

Scans all shared files on a local server. This makes it easy to selectively scan only user data that is stored on the file server.

Processes exclusions

Excludes specific processes from Antivirus on-access scanning. Due to the critical role of dedicated servers (application server, storage server, etc.) regular backups are mandatory to guarantee timely recovery from fatal incidents of any kind. To improve backup speed, process integrity and service availability, some techniques that are known to conflict with file-level antivirus protection are used during backup. Similar problems can occur when attempting live migrations of virtual machines. The only effective way to avoid both situations is to deactivate antivirus software. By excluding specific process (for example those of the backup solution) all file operations attributed to such excluded process are ignored and considered safe, thus minimizing interference with the backup process. We recommend that you use caution when creating exclusions – a backup tool that has been excluded can access infected files without triggering an alert which is why extended permissions are only allowed in the real-time protection module.

eShell (ESET Shell)

eShell is a command line interface that offers advanced users and administrators more comprehensive options to manage ESET server products.

ESET remote management tools

ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint can be managed remotely from one central location using ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem. You may consider using one of the ESET remote management tools to deploy ESET solutions, manage tasks, enforce security policies, monitor system status and quickly respond to problems or threats on remote servers.

Hyper-V scan

Is a technology that allows for scanning of Virtual Machine (VM) disks on Microsoft Hyper-V Server without the need of any "Agent" on the specific VM.

Firewall

Firewall controls all inbound and outbound network traffic on your computer based on internal rules and rules defined by you. This is accomplished by allowing or denying individual network connections. Firewall provides protection against attacks from remote devices and can block potentially threatening services.

ESET Vulnerability & Patch Management

A feature available in ESET PROTECT that lets you set up a routine scan on your server with ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint to detect any installed software vulnerable to security risks. Patch management helps you ensure systems and applications are secured against known vulnerabilities and exploits. The actual patching is manual, giving you full control of when the patching takes place. All this is in pursuit of protection and uptime by eliminating any potential service disruptions caused by application updates and update-induced behavior. ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint has its technology adjusted in the following areas when compared to ESET Endpoint Security:

Patch management can only be performed manually

Running application process termination happens 60 seconds after receiving the upgrade task

No automatic resolutions of device restart requests to complete the patching
