There are numerous distributions for Linux operating systems. Below are a few items to review and implement when deploying a Linux system on the UT network. Some examples reference configurations for a specific Linux distribution (e.g. RHEL/CentOS), but should translate to other distributions with some slight modifications.

You may choose any proven anti-virus product. One option is ClamAV.
For UT devices running RHEL or CentOS installations, Cisco AMP - (only for UT systems) is another option. Please email help@ece.utexas.edu and provide the UT asset tag number (silver sticker The Property of The University of Texas at Austin) for further details. Your system will need to be verified it is property of the University.
