Security Manager
Eliminate threats from viruses, spyware, and malware with desktop and gateway security
Lightspeed Security Manager allows you to easily maintain the health of computers across your network by stopping known and unknown threats to your servers and desktops. Security Manager protects your valuable network resources from unwanted access with its advanced, stateful inspection of network traffic.
Benefits
Potential threats lurking inside and outside your network can compromise safety, expose systems to
harm, and lead to costly and time-consuming problems and outages. While anti-virus software can reduce
exposure to known threats, unknown threats remain unblocked. Lightspeed Security Manager allows you to
eliminate known and unknown threats and protect your valuable network resources.
Blocks known threats. Lightspeed Systems maintains a comprehensive database of virus, spyware, and
malware signatures—and distributes signature updates to you every day, and emergency updates immediately.
Blocks unknown threats. To block spyware and unknown threats, Security Manager extends Microsoft’s
built-in user security to programs to give you proactive protection. Program permissions give you direct
behavioral control over what programs on your network can and cannot do, so you can block potential
threats before they do real damage.
Inventories desktop software. Security Manager lets you know exactly what software is deployed
where, so you can manage computers across the network and save on software license renewals.
Monitors and regulates inbound and outbound traffic. Security Manager’s firewall actively inspects
both inbound and outbound network traffic to determine, based on the configured security policies,
whether or not the traffic is allowed.

Features
Lightspeed Security Manager provides powerful, easy-to-use features for monitoring your network and managing your bandwidth.
- Network address translation can (optionally) translate network IP addresses to mask the internal
network structure from the outside world.
- Application-level proxies for many protocols, including HTTP, FTP, and SMTP, give you the
ability to allow or deny specific commands within these protocols at the gateway level.
- Unique file IDs of each valid program on your network make changes to programs (such as by a virus)
immediately recognized, treating the altered file as an “unknown program” with your specified permissions/restrictions.
