New Security features with System Center Configuration Manager 2012 (RBAC) and System Center Endpoint Protection 2012

Hi all,

    & 

A lot of features is now available for Endpoint Protection 2012 in Configuration Manager 2012 !!!

The following are a few of the features that come with Configuration Manager 2012 and Endpoint Protection 2012 that help you to operationalize security management:

  • Automatic deployment rules – using a rich set of criteria you can define the types of updates that you want to automatically approve and deploy within your environment. Configuration Manager will automatically check with Windows Update or Microsoft Update to see if there are any new updates that match your rule definition. This type of functionality is a great way to keep your environment up-to-date with the latest updates. It is especially important for scenarios such as definition updates, since these are released multiple times a day.
  • Role-based administration – both Configuration Manager 2012 and Endpoint Protection 2012 now fully support role-based administration. This allows you to securely designate specific tasks to your security administrators and management administrators.
  • Real time malware alerts – everyone that has been around for a security issue knows that time is very important. The quicker you know means the higher the chance that you can mitigate the impact of an issue. To help with this Endpoint Protection now provides real-time alerts for malware activity. This means from the console you can quickly get status from all your clients if there is a malware outbreak.
  • Email subscriptions –now that we get the alerts to the console quickly, we also looked for ways to cut the figurative tether between you and the console. To help with this we added in email subscriptions. This means that you can subscribe to events like malware alerts and receive these alerts on your mobile device.
