# implement anti-virus software — Database Administrator

For a Database Administrator (DBA), 'implementing anti-virus software' isn’t about endpoint protection on user machines – it's about *protecting the database servers themselves*. This means ensuring AV is installed, configured correctly (often with specific exclusions to avoid performance impacts - see pitfalls!), and actively monitored *on* those servers. Daily tasks include verifying scheduled scans complete successfully, reviewing logs for detections impacting database files or processes, and promptly addressing any alerts. It's less 'install & forget' and more continuous validation of a critical security layer.
