Computer viruses, Trojans, spyware and other malware are a constant threat to PC data. Therefore, reliable protection is an important prerequisite for a functioning EDP at the workplace. The kiz of the University of Ulm provides a virus scanner that you can install free of charge on any company PC. Thus you can protect yourself against viruses from the internet as well as against viruses on internal ways (CD, USB stick, drive shares etc.). We have concluded a contract with the company G-Data for the use of appropriate protection software on the campus of the University of Ulm.
All PCs on which the version of "G-Data Endpoint Protection Business" offered by the kiz is installed are monitored by the kiz.

The term of the license is currently 3 years, i.e. until June 2026.

Source of supply

G-Data Endpoint Protection Business can be downloaded from the software portal. You can find the software under: "Downloadable software" --> "System software".

License terms

In order to download G-Data Endpoint Protection Business from our server, you must accept the license terms, which you agree to abide by. Use is only legal for computers that are the property of the University of Ulm (not the clinic) and are used for research and teaching. Private use of the campus license is explicitly excluded.

The license and update server operated by the kiz for this software is configured by appropriate firewall rules so that only authorized persons can get a license for the software. If you have the impression that you should get a license but this does not work for the reasons mentioned, please contact the Helpdesk.
