SharePoint is seen as a must-have for many
organizations around the world. This collaboration
software from Microsoft provides a place to store,
organize, share, and access information from virtually
any device. The only requirement is a Web browser.
While Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 brought
many improvements, it still requires an additional
security layer to safeguard sensitive company
data, as well as assets stored in databases.
ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server provides
real-time protection for SharePoint servers and databases.
Over and above protection against cyber threats – including
those aimed at file system entry, drive-by downloads, system
exploits and vulnerabilities – ESET’s server technology includes
password protection to stop both malware and unauthorized
administrators from disabling it. ESET scans everything in the
database, and protects the server as well as its content.
While most server-based security software products have a
noticeable impact on system resources, ESET’s security offerings
are recognized by industry testers and analysts around the
world as having a very small footprint with minimal impact.

ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server is no
exception, operating efficiently without noticeable impact
on server performance. It excludes critical server files
automatically, so applications like Microsoft SQL Server and
Microsoft IIS are recognized and omitted from the scans.
Another feature to speed up scanning time is its rule-based
filtering, which lets administrators fine-tune protection
by specifying file name, size and real file types.
ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server also detects server
roles. By excluding critical server files like data stores and paging files
from on-access scanning, ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint
Server has a much lower system impact than the competition.
