management capabilities to allow IT administrators to remotely recover systems
even if the operating system is not operable. Alerting and event logging help IT
administrators detect problems quickly to reduce downtime.

protection by proactively blocking incoming threats, and reactively containing
infected clients before they become critical and cause problems.
