Standard Anti-Virus Protection
While critical for the on-air production process, many of the Vertigo Suite products do not
put material directly on air. We therefore recommend that these products be configured with
the same high level of anti-virus protection used for other machines on the broadcaster’s
network.
The following Vertigo Suite products should be configured with the highest level of anti-virus
protection:
•
Xmedia Server
• Data Server
• Xstudio
• Xbuilder
Institution of Policies
While the guidelines outlined in the previous sections are critical to your broadcast
network’s protection from infection, end users must accept some responsibility. We
therefore recommend that your IT department enforce the following policies:
•
Any machine that will be attached to the same network as the Xmedia Server must
undergo a complete system scan.
• Any floppy, zip or other external media to be copied to or run on the Xmedia Server
must undergo a complete scan.
• Material to be used in 24/7 operation should not be copied to the Xmedia Server.
Instead, it should be transferred only during maintenance periods.
• Do not download Internet files directly onto the Xmedia Server.
