What's Best Antivirus for Windows Server 2012
Lots of options when we want to implement Antivirus for Windows Server 2012, let's just say like Symantec, Kaspersky, MCAfee, etc. This article will explain how important antivirus for your IT enterprise is and what you should prepare to ultimately choose the best antivirus for your IT enterprise.Why using Antivirus for Windows Server 2012
Most of you will remember when an attack of ransomeware virus, not a few companies both big and small affected by this attack. The level of damage to their IT systems is also varied, some are experiencing damage with a heavy level but also there is a light, but some are not affected. Of course very interesting when there are some of them say that they are not affected significantly, then what are their tips and tricks so they are not affected significantly?
Basically, when we look for antivirus that we will use for the device or operating system must be right. If the antivirus we will use on devices with windows server operating system 2012, then we must ensure that the antivirus is already support up to windows server operating system 2012, both client and server management antivirus itself.
Our task as IT Infrastructure is to ensure that antivirus solutions are right on target and certainly optimal in terms of use, in accordance with the justification we have proposed when budgeting.How Implement Antivirus for Windows Server 2012
In this section I do not explain the steps in building a centralized antivirus solution, but rather open your mind about what to prepare when we want to determine which antivirus we will use in IT Enterprise in your company. Here are the things to note :- Segment
Which segment I mean is the part where you will install the antivirus, system or what application is running there? I take for example you will install antivirus on windows server 2008 with SQL Database installed there. Of course you should make sure that the antivirus should be able to distinguish between normal database queries and abnormal processes, this can be adjusted by using feature policy in antivirus management (manual) or automatically can be determined by antivirus publishers when they generate updates to our server management. And of course when you want to install antivirus on the segment infrastructure slightly different from when you install antivirus in (call it) hypervisor like VMware vSphere ESXi, you should look more towards packet, network and port (virus does not cause significant damage in operating system with linux / unix kernel) - Quantity
At this stage, determine how many antivirus you need, do not stop here you should also see how much growth will this antivirus needs. This is very important, you will need antivirus server management to make it easier to manage the antivirus you have installed (be it user level, server and other devices) so you have to ensure that the antivirus management server is capable of handling these needs, so the antivirus management server is capable to deliver update to all agents. - Antivirus Publishers Update Quantity
Next you need to find information related to how frequent updates are made by antivirus publishers, the more often they update the better the quality of them and will certainly impact directly to our system that uses the antivirus, it is very important. If we remember the incident of ransomeware attacks some time ago, it is very clear where the antivirus publisher is up to date and which is ordinary or even not update. - Budget
Last is a budget, a small budget does not mean you get an antivirus that is not optimal. Still you should pay attention to the points that I have mentioned above, but I am sure that your boss will prefer to invest their money to maintain the security of their valuable data, then your job is to convince them by explaining as in the points above.
- Segment
Recomendation Antivirus for Windows Server 2012
My recommendation for the following antivirus is solely on the experience that I feel directly, without any degrading elements of products currently on the market, here I distinguish based on segment in enterprise IT environment :- Hypervisor (Linux-Based) for Virtual Infrastructure
If you use a virtual infrastructure solution then I suggest you do antivirus installation at hypervisor level, this is because in addition to hypervisor such as vmware running on Linux operating system which is certainly more secure than viruses, you just keep the network just like ports and packet transfer - Hypervisor (Windows-Based) for Virtual Infrastructure
Unlike the above segment, if your hypervisor runs on windows operating system, then you need to install antivirus at windows operating system level (which served as hypervisor). This is because windows operating system is quite vulnerable to viruses. - Client-Server
Make sure that all your client-server is installed antivirus and has been connected with antivirus management server (so always get update) During more or less I became an IT Infrastructure Engineer, I've compared some antivirus products I use like kaspersky, micro trend, mcafee and symantec. So far a very good thing in terms of performance is symantec, when ransomeware attacks on stage1 and stage2 some time ago, none of my devices affected (at that time I update smb-protocol as directed from microsoft and symantec update with a duration of 2hour ).

** Note : Pay attention to every detail steps that informed, failure or damage to your system or data is not my responsibility "Do With Your Own Risk" or you can do research through the Lab to minimize your system failure
