It seems many organizations have a box to check - running AV software, check.
Windows end user systems absolutely need it. Windows servers, probably do. Linux end user, probably. Linux servers? Well, where are the potential bad files coming from? Are there end users FTP'ing to that server all the time? Then yeah, those might need it. Is it accepting files over HTTP? Is it a file server (NFS? or Samba?)? Those probably need it. But for your other types of servers?? You would need to evaluate the risk, document it, and have management sign off. Which is what we have done. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of CHAPLIN, JAMES (CTR) Sent: Monday, August 24, 2015 7:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) for installation on zLinux? Thanks Marcy, Sad to say this was the only response, not because of the list, but interest in hardening and anti-virus software tools available for the s390x architecture of Linux. Has anyone used or can name an alternate anti-virus tool (other than Symantec's end point) for Linux on the z Architecture (s390z)? We found one toll using Google.... F-PROT, but it is no longer available (from their website): "Due to lack of customer demand, we have discontinued this product. If you are interested in F-PROT for S/390, please contact our sales department ([email protected])." Fedora 22 for s390x has a tool ClamAV for use with Exim (mail server), but nothing for RHEL, any suggestions?

We've been given an exception because it doesn't exist for z.

Fellow Penguin Mainframers, Has anyone installed Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) on Linux (RHEL or SUSE) on the s390x architecture? We have been given a "Security Requirement" that this vendor specific software has to be in place, and we cannot even verify that they support the s390x architecture. Please share any experience you may have with this if your shop has gone down this path and implemented SEP.
