Advantages of Native AIX Antivirus Software:

  • Virus Protection Built for AIX Avoids Security Concern

  • To scan AIX for malicious programs using software built for PCs, you need a file share and a work station logged on to the server with privileged access. The data transferred between the work station and the server is unencrypted. This leaves it vulnerable to malicious actors.

  • Improve AIX System Performance

  • Using malware scanning that’s not built for your operating system can be slow. Transferring data between AIX and the PC increases the network load. These factors make it difficult to scan your system for viruses and malware on a regular basis, which increases the chances of malware spreading throughout your environment.

  • Ensure the Reliability and Stability of Malware Scans

  • PC antivirus software isn’t able to scan every part of the AIX OS. When the non-native program runs across a file structure it doesn’t recognize, the scan can fail and trigger an alert. Responding to these alerts is a time-consuming, manual process. Natively built antivirus for AIX avoids these problems.
