Dashboard

Use the Dashboard tabs and widgets for extensive visibility of managed product and Apex Central information about threat detections, component statuses, policy violations, and more.

Security Posture

Use the Security Posture tab to gain instant insights into the antivirus pattern and Data Loss Prevention compliance status, critical threat detections, as well as resolved and unresolved events on your network.

User/Endpoint Directory

View detailed information about all the users and endpoints within the Apex Central network and any security threat detections.

Product Directory

System administrators can immediately deploy configuration modifications to managed products or even run a manual scan from the Apex Central web console during a virus/malware outbreak.

Global Policy Management

System administrators can use policies to configure and deploy product settings to managed products and endpoints from a single management console to ensure consistent enforcement of your organization's virus/malware and content security policies.

Logs

Use a single management console to view consolidated logs from all registered managed products without having to log on to each individual product console.
