Flexible installation
Deployment of the protection offers different options. Deploy remotely, through emails with a download URL. To avoid user intervention it can be done transparently to selected endpoints through a Distribution Tool. An MSI installer is also available for distribution of the protection through login-scripts, Active Directory, Tivoli, SMS or LanDesk.
Management delegation
Panda Cloud Protection enables administrators to delegate or split administration tasks between other privileged users, assigning them the computers to which they can access.
Highly effective spam filtering
Its Guaranteed Filtering mode assures effective filtering, optimizing the bandwidth and the company resources and reducing time dedicated to spam management.
Email quarantine management

The system architecture offers load-balancing and redundancy, and is designed to offer maximum availability. Providing 24x7 support, it ensures an uninterrupted endpoint protection and clean mail delivery service: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Easily Managed via a Hosted Web Console
Administrators only need a web browser to centrally manage the antivirus and firewall protections of all workstations, including those from remote offices. No need for software purchase, additional infrastructure or maintenance personnel; just the subscription to the service.
Monitoring and Reporting
Panda Cloud Protection allows you to run real-time or scheduled analysis of your network and monitor the results at any time.
You can also generate configurable reports with protection status and detection activity and graphs. All reports are exportable and can be configured to be sent by email automatically.
Peer-to-peer automatic updates
Workstations and servers update and upgrade their protection from the nearest desktop optimizing bandwidth consumption. If the update package is not found in the LAN, the workstation will get it from Panda through the Internet. Update frequency can be configured, and carried out on demand or by groups.
Profile-based protection
Different policies or protection profiles can be assigned to different users, groups of users or domains according to the organization needs and saving administrator time.
