Virus and worm protection
Viruses and worms are most often targeted at Microsoft Windows operating systems or such
commonly used applications as IIS, Exchange, Outlook, or Word. Because the Avaya S8300,
S8400, S8500, and S8700-series Servers are Linux-based and do not interface with these
Microsoft products, they have some degree of natural immunity. In addition, viruses and worms
are most commonly delivered by e-mail, by visiting infected Web sites, or by sharing disk drives.
The servers do not
● Support incoming email and, therefore, do not forward e-mail
● Contain the Internet Explorer Web browser
● Share drives
All file transfers to the Avaya servers are restricted. Software and service pack files are
cryptographically signed to prevent introduction of unwanted software. In addition to this natural
immunity, the files and file systems of the Avaya servers are monitored by Tripwire.
