CAV servers are central points where antivirus definitions, scans, and policies are stored and distributed to endpoint devices within the network.

The anti-virus protection for these servers ensures:

- Detection: The server identifies known and unknown threats by scanning files, processes, and data streams.

- Prevention: It blocks malicious code from entering the server or spreading to connected endpoints.

- Removal: It eliminates any detected malware from the server and endpoints to prevent infection from spreading further.

- Real-time Monitoring: Continuous scanning and monitoring of the server for any signs of compromise.

- Update Management: The server regularly updates antivirus definitions and software to stay current with the latest threats.
