LogMeIn Central Makes Securing Remote PCs Simple With New Anti-Virus Monitoring and Management Capabilities
GlobeNewswire
2012-08-07

    Supports Norton, AVG, McAfee, Kaspersky, Microsoft Security
                       Essentials, and More

WOBURN, Mass., Aug. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc.
(Nasdaq:LOGM) just released a new update to its IT automation and
management product, LogMeIn Central, that makes it easy to monitor and
manage hundreds of versions of anti-virus software through a single,
centralized interface. The new capabilities, which include support for
popular anti-virus software offerings like Norton, AVG, McAfee,
Kaspersky, and Microsoft Security Essentials, give IT professionals the
ability to monitor anti-virus installations, run full threat scans, and
receive virus threat detections on any number of remote PCs under
management. As a result, IT professionals can manage all anti-virus
installations -- regardless of brand preference -- from a single tool.

LogMeIn's new Anti-Virus Management feature is designed to let IT
professionals:


  --  Verify anti-virus software is installed and enabled on remote PCs and
      servers
  --  Check virus definitions and update if necessary
  --  Confirm real-time protection is on and turn on if needed
  --  See last full scan time and initiate full scan if needed
  --  View a threat log with viruses found on remote computers
  --  Secure PCs and servers running Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista,
      Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008




Additional information, including a video demonstration of the new
capabilities, is available at LogMeIn's product blog
(http://B.LogMe.In).

"When we talked to our customers about anti-virus management, it was
clear that threat detection and security are critical mandates, but to
date, monitoring and managing a mixed environment of anti-virus
products has been a cumbersome task," said Matt Kaplan, LogMeIn's Vice
President of Products. "The new capabilities in LogMeIn Central were
designed to centralize and simplify the most common tasks associated
with anti-virus management in a way that makes securing hundreds or
even thousands of machines under management incredibly efficient."

Interest in the new Anti-Virus Management capability was especially
high amongst LogMeIn's managed service provider (MSP) and IT consultant
customers, whose businesses often rely on the ability to manage a wide
variety of anti-virus software brands and versions.

"Ensuring our clients systems are secure means working with a wide
range of anti-virus solutions, and that translates into using several
tools as well as a lot of repetitive tasks. With the new Anti-Virus
Management capabilities in Central, we can get a nice, centralized view
of all security risks impacting our clients systems, and a much more
efficient means of taking quick, effective action," said Larry Velez,
CTO, Sinu, a NY-based MSP and LogMeIn customer. "The key for us is how
to deliver a superior level of client service in ways that help us grow
our business, and we believe the new capabilities of LogMeIn Central
will go a long way to achieving that perfect balance."
