Accelerate and secure VM deployments with the only agentless solution for Hyper-V
Agentless Incremental Scan Log
Traditional endpoint security requires system administrators to install agents on every virtual machine in the environment. This legacy approach increases the deployment time of all new VMs and exposes the virtual machine to scripts or users that could inject malicious code or consume valuable resources. 5nine Cloud Security does not require agents to be installed inside the virtual machine, so they can be deployed faster and more securely.
- Alternative to impractical, yet traditional, endpoint management
- Industry’s fastest AV scans with the lowest performance overhead
Requires only Virtual Machine Manager to minimize your management Footprint
Security Configuration via SCVMM
The System Center suite provides some security tools through Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Endpoint Protection (SCEP), however these components require a complex configuration of management, update, and proxy servers. Additionally System Center continues to use traditional agent-based security and access to only a single library of antivirus definitions. 5nine Cloud Security has a simple configuration, small installation footprint, and lets you choose from multiple antivirus engines. While System Center offers a firewall and antivirus, 5nine Cloud Security also includes intrusion detection and network traffic scanning capabilities for broader protection.
- Set up SC endpoint protection, which requires SC Configuration Manager
- Our solution is lightweight and scalable
Scales to protect the largest enterprises running System Center and the Microsoft Cloud
Hosts Protection
You can reduce the number of servers your need to support all of your tenants and their virtual machines with 5nine Cloud Security. Legacy endpoint security solutions do not work well in virtualized environments as they require agents which can cause a significant performance hit on each VM. 5nine Cloud Security leads the industry with scans up to 70 times faster than other solutions, minimizing security performance bottlenecks so you can run up to 30% more VMs on each host, allowing you to maximize your return on infrastructure investments.
