Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite vs DriveStrike

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite is endpoint security software for protecting corporate network nodes. Administrators manage protection through the Control Center from an internet-connected computer or device, including mobile devices. The anti-virus server supports remote deployment and updates, security monitoring, incident notifications and statistics collection. The suite includes products for desktops and laptops, servers, email, internet gateways and Android devices. Administrators can restrict access to removable storage, local network folders and the Internet, and the Control Center supports networks without Internet access. Listed integrations include Windows NAP, Oracle, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server; the suite can also connect with SIEM solutions. Doctor Web describes heuristic, behavioural, preventive and machine-learning detection, including preventive blocking of suspicious programs before their definitions are in the virus database. The Control Center also describes a light-agent mode that assigns some anti-virus work to a VM service. Licensing periods are one, two or three years, with totals calculated after product selections; price depends on protected stations, including servers, and is available by quote. A free business trial covers up to 40 objects for 30 days.

DriveStrike helps organizations manage devices remotely when they are lost, stolen, or used remotely. Administrators can view mapped locations and location history, lock users out, reset passcodes, reboot devices, initiate a firmware lock, or delete data from a DriveStrike-enabled device. The features menu also lists KillStick for offline wiping. For encryption, DriveStrike integrates BitLocker on Windows and offers help with VeraCrypt deployments; its features page says native encryption support is coming soon. The product supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Its Android EMM tools configure app, security, and device policies. Administrators can organize devices by department, location, or ownership and delegate management. Deployment options include email invitations, group policies or over-the-air push, individual installation, and remote desktop installation. DriveStrike states that it is HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, and DoD compliant, and that live support professionals are available 24/7/365. Pricing depends on the number of protected devices each month, but exact plan prices are not shown. A 30-day trial includes all features and requires a credit card.
