Security company Panda Software yesterday unveiled the beta version of its Panda DesktopSecure for Linux workstations.
As Linux systems become increasingly prominent for home use and in corporate environments, the firm said that DesktopSecure aims to protect both types of workstations, providing anti-malware protection managed via a graphic console.
The product also includes an enhanced firewall for workstations, and an intrusion prevention system to guard against network threats such as worms.
The final release version of DesktopSecure will be offered free to home users, and can be installed on all distributions of Linux.
