2.10 Management of Your Mac by AMC<br />

Installation<br />

The security of your Mac in a network environment can be managed by the <strong>Avira</strong><br />

Management Console (AMC), namely: the remote installation, configuration, updating and<br />

uninstallation of the <strong>Avira</strong> security software, as well as the scanning behavior.<br />

To manage <strong>Avira</strong> Mac Security via AMC, you need the AMC Agent for Mac and a license<br />

file, that is sent to you upon request.<br />

The AMC Agent is installed on the Mac client separately via AMC, when you integrate the<br />

client into the AMC Security Environment (the network managed by <strong>Avira</strong> Management<br />

Console). For details on using the <strong>Avira</strong> Management Console, read the <strong>User</strong> Guide under<br />

http://www.avira.com/documents/products.<br />

2.10.1 Security policy enforced by AMC<br />

<strong>Avira</strong> Management Console defines and enforces the security policy over the managed<br />

network. The security policy covers the configuration, the update mechanisms and the<br />

scanning behavior of the managed clients.<br />

A Mac client managed via AMC cannot change the configuration inherited from AMC.<br />

Moreover, the AMC defines which files are updated by a managed client, when and from<br />

which source. The Management Console also defines what a managed client scans, when<br />

it scans and how it treats suspicious files.<br />

By default, the <strong>Avira</strong> Management Console restricts the following features of <strong>Avira</strong><br />

Mac Security, on managed Mac clients:<br />

• Changing the configuration: Preferences are disabled and a tooltip indicates it is an<br />

AMC-managed environment.<br />

• Configuring scheduled scans and updates: Scheduler is disabled and a tooltip<br />

indicates it is an AMC-managed environment.<br />

• Performing manual updates: Update is disabled and a tooltip indicates it is an AMCmanaged<br />

environment.<br />
