Improved Efficiency and Centralized Management with the Latest Version of Panda Systems Management

Systems management

Computer systems have become part of every aspect of our lives. As digital transformation continues to grow in the corporate environment and the number of devices connected to the network is on the rise, the issues associated with this topic are becoming increasingly complex.

For this reason, Panda Security has presented the latest version of Panda Systems Management: the most powerful, scalable and easy-to-use RMM administration tool on the market. Systems Management is capable of combating all inefficiencies in the IT environment, allowing businesses to save time and money.

The Problem

This new hyper-connected context means that new challenges may arise while trying to increase your company’s productivity. Some of the challenges that have added to the already complex IT environment include: the increasing and varied number of devices connected to the network, the growing number of remote users, and the need to fix problems with greater flexibility (anytime, anywhere).

The mixture of tools used everyday in the workplace provoke incidents and interrupt work. Consequently, as these inefficiencies multiply, they add to the IT department’s workload, and other important details that affect business management and security can be overlooked.

The Solution: Greater Automation and Maximum Performance

Systems Management remotely monitors and manages devices from the Cloud so that every IT department can offer a professional service with minimal impact on employee work.

Inside Petya and Mischa Ransomware

Petya and Mischa ransomware, come as a package deal, distributed by its creators, Janus. They are very unusual in that they combine two different methods to encrypt user data. Unlike most other ransomware, Petya primarily encrypts MFT (Master File Table) and MBR (Master Boot Record). If Petya has insufficient privileges to access MBR on HDD (Hard Disk Drive), the Mischa module is deployed and encrypts files one by one.

VPN’s and the involuntary Full Monty

The Full Monty is a film about unemployed steelworkers doing a complete striptease to salvage their lives and reputations. It’s a reference to the British slang for a “whole lot”. And in a typical WiFi network, a Full Monty describes the “whole lot” of exposure and lack of privacy that users experience.
