The antivirus was recognised as best product in the “Personal Computer Security” category.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doctor Web has managed to win this award three years in a row. Back in &lt;a href="https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14677"&gt;2023&lt;/a&gt;, Dr.Web Security Space 12.0 for Windows prevailed in the Personal Computer Security category; in &lt;a href="https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14800"&gt;2024&lt;/a&gt;, the antivirus solution for desktops and laptops was once again recognised as best product, whilst Dr.Web Mobile Engine SDK came out on top in the Antivirus Engines category.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SKD AWARDS is hosted annually by SKD Labs, an internationally recognised independent information security testing and certification laboratory. Unofficially, this award is often referred to as the “Oscar for Cybersecurity products”. It is regarded as one of the key credibility markers that indicate superior quality.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Participating products undergo a series of tests that evaluate their features, performance, technical innovation, behaviour in real-life scenarios, and ability to detect and eliminate threats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="img"&gt;&lt;a href="https://st.drweb.com/static/f2_admin/drweb-ss.jpg" data-fancybox=""&gt;&lt;img src="https://st.drweb.com/static/new-www/news/2026/drweb-ss.jpg" alt="#drweb"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><guid>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=15073&amp;lng=en</guid><title>Dr.Web solutions support all versions of Windows, starting with Windows XP</title><link>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=15073&amp;lng=en&amp;c=12</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2025 15:23:15 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because Microsoft officially discontinued its support for Windows 10 as of October 14, 2025, Doctor Web is informing its users and partners of the following.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Support for Dr.Web products installed on computers running Windows 10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Currently, all versions of Dr.Web solutions are fully compatible with Windows 10.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;An antivirus security company Doctor Web continues its steady expansion overseas as it gains a foothold on the booming Indonesian market.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Indonesia’s IT industry is growing rapidly, and reliable information security solutions are in high demand. Dr.Web products are popular in many countries across the globe because of their effectiveness and the wide range of features they offer customers. Doctor Web’s solutions meet the needs of both small businesses and large organizations of any type.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Doctor Web took its first steps on the Indonesian market back in 2024: The company participated actively in the largest IT exhibitions in the region and also organised a cybersecurity CTF contest that brought together over 1,000 young information security professionals. This allowed Doctor Web to engage with Indonesia’s IT expert community and showcase its cutting-edge technologies and information security expertise.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Signing an exclusive distribution agreement with Pacific Tech Distribution Indonesia—one of the key players in the region’s IT market—became the next logical step in implementing Doctor Web’s expansion strategy. Pacific Tech Distribution Indonesia plays a major role in distributing information security solutions in the Asia-Pacific region and has an extensive partner network.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;“We looked long and hard for a distributor that wouldn't just represent our interests, but would also become a real partner in developing our business in this market. Pacific Tech Distribution Indonesia is just that kind of company. We see how Indonesian businesses are quickly becoming more reliant on information technologies, and now, thanks to our partnership, these companies will be able to effectively protect their IT infrastructures with our solutions.” — &lt;b&gt;Boris Sharov, Doctor Web's General Director&lt;/b&gt; said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;“We're proud to bring Doctor Web to Indonesia. With Doctor Web's technology and our extensive local partner ecosystem, we will be able to deliver advanced, reliable cybersecurity solutions tailored to businesses of all sizes”, said &lt;b&gt;Hanick Tan, Country Director (Indonesia) at Pacific Tech&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now the most advanced Dr.Web solutions are also available to Indonesian companies — from now on, they can purchase them via Pacific Tech Distribution Indonesia’s partner network. Furthermore, companies are also welcome to become Doctor Web's authorised partners and join the regional partner programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Doctor Web is happy to contribute to promoting sound information security practices in the region and confident that Dr.Web technologies will provide reliable protection for Indonesian users' digital assets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The key advantages for customers in Indonesia include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reliable protection from viruses, trojans, spyware, rootkits and other threats with the help of time-proven Dr.Web solutions;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support and guidance provided by local Pacific Tech experts;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flexible licensing options and customised solutions for businesses of all sizes;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The opportunity to become a Doctor Web partner and generate a profit by selling and promoting top-tier information security solutions.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Doctor Web continues to improve the antispam module in its products to ensure that unsolicited emails can be filtered out even more effectively.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr.Web Antispam examines various email features and attributes in real time. This includes not just the message headers and body but attachments as well, and filtering never causes message delivery delays. As a result, users are not bothered by email ‘junk’ or performance issues affecting their mail client applications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By constantly introducing new filtering rules, Doctor Web ensures that users stay protected from spammers, who doggedly devise new tricks in an attempt to circumvent antispam technologies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Igor Zdobnov, Doctor Web Antivirus Laboratory Chief:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;
    "In February, we’re releasing the most impactful update in this component’s history to significantly enhance and upgrade all of its technologies. Every day, spammers find new ways to bypass antispam algorithms, which is why we've adapted the new version as much as possible to detect all types of spam mailings, including phishing".
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Marina Rybkina, Doctor Web Spam Analysis Department Manager:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;"Identifying tell-tale spam attributes and creating rules to shield users from spammers as they try to bypass filtering technologies is one of our analysts’ main tasks. We also make timely adjustments to our existing antispam routines to adapt to brand-new detection-evasion techniques.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Spam filtering can, to some extent, protect users from phishing attacks. Most phishing samples have certain distinct features that our analysts use to create antispam algorithms for preventive protection against similar fraudulent campaigns".&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Important information for Windows XP users&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please note that the updated component version scheduled for release on February 3, 2025, will rely on technologies that are not compatible with Windows XP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is recommended that you update this operating system to a later version if possible or that you do not install the latest antispam version. In the latter case, the component will continue to operate. To proceed with that approach, select "Update" in the application settings, click "Advanced settings", and in the component updating section, select "Virus databases only".&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><guid>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14962&amp;lng=en</guid><title>New Year's Advent Game: Explore our desktop!</title><link>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14962&amp;lng=en&amp;c=12</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Dec 2024 01:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;December 18, 2024&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt; &lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On October 8, 2024, a Telegram channel published information about an alleged successful cyberattack on our company's infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A targeted attack on our systems and services was indeed carried out in September. We reported on that immediately in this news publication while the actual crisis was still in progress: &lt;a href="https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14907&amp;lng=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14907&amp;lng=en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;We managed to promptly thwart the attack and then proceeded by disconnecting our systems from the network for a thorough examination in accordance with our established security policy. The attackers intended to demand a ransom from Doctor Web, but we never negotiate with perpetrators. As law enforcement agencies are looking into the incident right now, we cannot give out any additional details so as to avoid interfering with the ongoing investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most of the claims that appeared in Telegram are false. Our development environment and customer information haven't been affected by the attack. Our software module and virus database updates pose no threat whatsoever to Dr.Web users.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At Doctor Web, we have stepped up security for all our systems and services. We're also examining the screenshots circulating in Telegram channels to ensure that no portion of our relevant data has been compromised.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><guid>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14907&amp;lng=en</guid><title>Doctor Web resumed  virus database updates after the  attack on its infrastructure</title><link>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14907&amp;lng=en&amp;c=12</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Sep 2024 15:49:02 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;September 18, 2024&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Now that the dangerous situation involving the attack on Doctor Web's infrastructure has been resolved successfully, we're happy to bring you up to speed on the latest developments and present the security incident's complete timeline.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The attack on our infrastructure began on Saturday, &lt;b&gt;September 14, 2024&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were monitoring it closely and maintained control over the situation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On &lt;b&gt;September 16, 2024&lt;/b&gt;, Doctor Web’s information security team detected signs of unauthorised interference with our IT infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following established security policies, we disconnected all our servers from the network and initiated comprehensive security diagnostics.
To analyse and eliminate the incident's consequences, we implemented a series of measures, including the use of Dr.Web FixIt! for Linux.
The gathered data allowed our security experts to successfully isolate the threat and ensure that our customers remained unaffected by it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;September 16, 6:30 GMT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In accordance with our security policy, we temporarily disconnected certain nodes in Doctor Web's infrastructure from the Internet to perform additional checks. 
This resulted in a short-term interruption in the availability of Dr.Web virus database updates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;September 17, 13:30 GMT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr.Web virus database updates resumed in full.
None of Doctor Web’s customers have been affected by the incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We continue to adhere to the highest information security standards and promptly take whatever measures are necessary to ensure the stable operation of all our systems and services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;On Saturday, September 14, Doctor Web specialists recorded a targeted attack on the company's resources. The attempt to harm our infrastructure was prevented in a timely manner, and no user whose system was protected by Dr.Web was affected.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
For the time being, in accordance with the company’s security protocol, all resources are disconnected from the network so that they can be checked. Because of this, the release of Dr.Web virus databases is temporarily suspended. Our Dr.Web FixIt! service, its special pre-release version for Linux, is being used to diagnose and eliminate the consequences of the attack. This allows us to scan our resources more quickly. The release of virus databases will resume shortly. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Doctor Web took part in the annual cybersecurity summit and &lt;a href="https://www.csstcyber.cn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;international antivirus conference&lt;/a&gt; in Tianjin, China. The second CSST (Cyber Security Summit in Tianjin) event was devoted to the theme "Jointly Building Cyber Security and Governing Cyberspace". &lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;At the summit, Doctor Web's Antivirus Laboratory Chief Igor Zdobnov made the presentation "Linux under siege: the ever-growing landscape of cyberthreats". &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Linux and other Unix-like operating systems become more widely used in various industrial infrastructures, they also turn into prime cyberattack targets. Some IT professionals believe that Linux is completely invulnerable to malware, but presently these systems are facing an increasing number of threats. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With security incidents occurring at an alarming rate, the urgent need for robust security measures is more evident than ever. In his presentation, Zdobnov also spoke about the current state of malware for Linux and the latest evolutionary trends observed by Doctor Web.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;On September 26, Apple made the new macOS Sonoma (version 14) available to the general public. With that in mind, Doctor Web is pleased to notify its customers that its Dr.Web Security Space for macOS fully supports this latest major OS release.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All product features have been tested to ensure Dr.Web Security Space’s compatibility and seamless integration with macOS Sonoma.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And to learn &lt;a href="https://www.drweb.com/pravda/issue/?number=1259&amp;lng=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;why a Mac does need an anti-virus to protect it&lt;/a&gt;, please refer to our Anti-virus Times blog&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><guid>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14740&amp;lng=en</guid><title>Doctor Web anti-virus laboratory chief spoke on the evolution of Android malware at a cybersecurity forum in China</title><link>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14740&amp;lng=en&amp;c=12</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;August 28, 2023&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Doctor Web took part in the cybersecurity summit and &lt;a href="https://www.csstcyber.cn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;international anti-virus conference&lt;/a&gt; in Tianjin, China. Igor Zdobnov, anti-virus laboratory chief, represented the company at the event.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His report “Walking in a zoo of Android malware development language” revealed how Android trojans have become increasingly complex as a result of the wide use of various programming languages. He also spoke in detail about the tools that can benefit security researchers when examining Android malware samples written in specific languages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As malware makers now utilise a diverse set of programming languages to implement more powerful features and more complex trojan designs, a greater in-depth examination involving sophisticated analysis techniques is required to tackle emerging threats. In his report, Igor Zdobnov emphasised that this is Doctor Web’s major priority in its commitment to developing security tools and technologies that protect users from these new and complex threats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doctor Web expects that the event in Tianjin will open up new opportunities for fruitful cooperation between cybersecurity experts across the globe and help deliver reliable anti-virus protection to end users in an era of increasingly complex cyberthreats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Doctor Web, a leading Russian developer of anti-virus solutions, will take part in the IT cluster of the second &lt;a href="https://summitafrica.ru/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum&lt;/a&gt;, which will take place in St. Petersburg at the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre on 27–28 July. &lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the modern world, the digitalisation of the countries on the African continent is proceeding at a rapid pace, and, therefore, the number of cyber threats targeting developing computer systems, including state organisations and large enterprises, is also increasing. Cybercriminals actively use phishing to deceive users, steal personal data and money, and also distribute and implement malicious programs. This factor accompanying digitalisation harms individuals, companies and the public infrastructure and can also put the brakes on countries’ economic development and pose a threat to national security.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russian company Doctor Web, known for its years-long research in the field of malware protection around the world, will share its experiences and talk about the most effective measures to protect against cyberattacks. At the Forum, Igor Zdobnov, the head of Doctor Web's virus laboratory, will discuss how to deal with the consequences of past incidents and what information security issues are most relevant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Today, UTM (Unified Threat Management) and NGFW (next-generation firewall) solutions strive to provide continuous comprehensive protection from network threats.  Effective traffic scanning and filtering can be achieved by integrating an anti-virus engine into the security software, so that malicious files can be detected in the traffic controlled by your UTM or NGFW solution.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our new Dr.Web solution has been optimised for data-stream scanning to analyse high-bandwidth data transfers and detect threats in real time.  The anti-virus engine relies on signature-based detection to identify malicious objects in traffic: it examines data streams to expose the most common threats. It is also essential that scans be performed in the system memory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We invite information security software developers to test the Dr.Web engine in their UTM and NGFW solutions and discuss collaborating with us in order to provide users with more reliable protection. By joining forces and leveraging our combined experience, we will increase the security of our customers’ infrastructures. If you are interested in using our engine with your products, feel free to contact Doctor Web via email at &lt;a href="mailto:ngfw_research@drweb.com"&gt;ngfw_research@drweb.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><guid>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14533&amp;lng=en</guid><title>Check how well protected you are: Doctor Web launches its Dr.Web FixIt! cloud service</title><link>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14533&amp;lng=en&amp;c=12</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jun 2023 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;June 19, 2023&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Doctor Web has released Dr.Web FixIt! — a new solution for ensuring the information security of PCs running Microsoft Windows. &lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.drweb.com/fixit/?lng=en"&gt;Dr.Web FixIt!&lt;/a&gt; has been designed to diagnose information security incidents remotely and eliminate their consequences. It generates the FixIt! diagnostic utility to detect traces of malware that are present and, based on its report, carries out diagnostics. If malware is detected, the FixIt! curing utility is created to eliminate the consequences of infection. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unlike products designed to detect already known malicious programs (or programs similar to them) with the help of virus databases, Dr.Web FixIt! detects brand-new malware as well as programs that are used to carry out targeted attacks and cannot be detected by any other tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;“This service will be useful for specialists whose duties include incident analysis”, says &lt;b&gt;Igor Zdobnov, the head of Doctor Web's virus laboratory&lt;/b&gt;. —  “Especially when it comes to checking a station to which there is no physical access. The solution consists of a data-collection system, an analytical part involving the creation and application of filters for the required data categories, and mechanisms for ascertaining causes and curing incidents in the user's system. Unlike desktop applications with similar features, Dr.Web FixIt! operates as a web application. Both at the moment of collection and during the analysis process, we use our own developments in the field of cloud computing”.  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Initially, the service was designed for internal use by Doctor Web. Its creation began at the initiative of our technical specialists who got tired of sorting out tickets and solving the same problems over and over again for many years. So they got the idea to make a portal in which the company would aggregate all of its knowledge and experience in terms of OS infections, detection algorithms and threat curing.   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;“There exists a system with OS data”, explains &lt;b&gt;Konstantin Yudin, Doctor Web anti-virus project manager&lt;/b&gt;. — Depending on the tasks involved (technical support, virus laboratory, development, research, etc.), the operator selects or creates the slice of data they need to analyse and has the opportunity to cure or correct issues in the system. The value is in the unique filters that identify the necessary slices, infections, problems, anomalies, etc., out of tons of data”. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The target group for the service is teams of information security specialists responsible for security monitoring and incident response (SOC centers). At the same time, Dr.Web FixIt! will be useful for companies whose system administrators lack the qualifications needed to properly analyse computer incidents involving malware activity. Using this solution will allow a business to optimise the costs associated with maintaining technical staff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The service is licensed per number of tasks. Dr.Web FixIt! is available in packages of 1, 10, 20, 50, or 100 tasks. The Dr.Web FixIt! license period is 1 year. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If necessary, Doctor Web's specialists will help users analyse the data obtained by Dr.Web FixIt! and tell them how to eliminate the consequences of infection. To do this, the user needs to submit a technical support request.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><guid>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14700&amp;lng=en</guid><title>Licenses sold by AvirKey.com blocked</title><link>https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14700&amp;lng=en&amp;c=12</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2023 15:33:08 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;May 12, 2023&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Anti-virus company Doctor Web has blocked all licenses for Dr.Web products that were purchased by online digital goods store AvirKey.com at a reduced price, using an illegal scheme. Please note that AvirKey.com is not an official partner of our company. To avoid becoming a victim of a fraudulent scheme, do not purchase Dr.Web products on this site.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;newslead&gt;Doctor Web, the Russian developer of anti-virus software products under the brand name Dr.Web, and Huawei, one of the world's leading suppliers of smart devices and IT infrastructure solutions, are pleased to unveil a Dr.Web product line that protects ARM64 devices and servers from malware.&lt;/newslead&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of its technology partnership with Huawei, Doctor Web has introduced support for TaiShan server solutions in its Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite corporate product. TaiShan servers are powered by 64-bit Kunpeng multicore ARM CPUs, which are designed and manufactured by Huawei.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With almost 30 years of anti-virus software development experience under its belt, Doctor Web has its own in-house malware research laboratory, which is constantly revising the breakthrough threat-neutralisation technologies that power Dr.Web products. This is why the company's customers are always thoroughly protected from cyberattacks. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The upgraded Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite provides anti-virus protection for all corporate infrastructure nodes—from PCs to all kinds of servers. With the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Control Center, system administrators and information security professionals can monitor attempted attacks and easily configure the anti-virus software on every protected host in the network, including devices that are being used by employees to work from home. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doctor Web holds certificates that attest to the high quality of its products, which are used by organisations with rigorous security standards and often protect sensitive data. Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite is certified by FSTEC Russia and Russia's Ministry of Defence. The solution complies with the highest security standards established by the regulating bodies for infrastructures processing information that contains state secrets and requires the highest security clearance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, that ARM64 is supported by Dr.Web software, Huawei customers and partners can enhance the security of their servers with state-of-the-art solutions that provide reliable protection from all types of malware. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kunpeng processors are among the industry’s highest performing ARM-based server CPUs, powering data centers engaged in big data analysis. These infrastructures require all-round anti-virus protection—something Dr.Web can readily provide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The anti-virus software for the Taishan servers opens up an entire new avenue of opportunities for technology partnerships and joint commercial projects involving Doctor Web and Huawei.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="fontM"&gt;About Doctor Web&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doctor Web is the Russian developer of Dr.Web anti-virus software. Dr.Web anti-virus software has been developed since 1992. &lt;/p&gt;
