ENDPOINT SECURITY BY BITDEFENDER
1. Overview
Bitdefender Security for Endpoints protects unobtrusively any number of computers by
using number-one-ranked antimalware technology combined with firewall, intrusion detection,
web access control and filtering, sensitive data protection and application control. Security
for Endpoints offers protection for computers and laptops running on Windows and Mac
OS X operating systems and Windows servers. Employee productivity is ensured with low
resource consumption, optimized system scanning and automated security that requires
no end-user interaction.
Security for Endpoints is intended for workstations, laptops and servers running on Microsoft®
Windows. To protect your physical computers with Security for Endpoints, you must install
Endpoint Security (the client software) on each of them. Endpoint Security manages
protection on the local computer. It also communicates with Control Center to receive the
administrator's commands and to send the results of its actions.
This document describes all Endpoint Security updates since version 5.1.4.223. You can
easily find the new features each version brings and the issues it has resolved. Under the
"Known Issues" section you can inspect the list of reported yet unresolved issues. This list
is updated periodically and we kindly reccommend you consult it before submitting any
issues to our Support Team.
