Gateway Antivirus

Properly configured gateway antivirus can be a strong first line of defense against various forms of malware. Deployed at the perimeter of your enterprise network, it can block a significant number of viruses, worms, trojans, and spyware before they can infect your internal systems.

Antivirus solutions are capable of:

• Inspecting various network protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3 and blocking threats once they are discovered
• Detecting virus outbreak patterns and preventing massive infections
• Carrying out heuristic analysis on polymorphic viruses that easily elude traditional signature-based virus scans
• Scanning both inbound and outbound traffic
• Sending suspicious email messages into quarantine and then alerting intended recipients to review
• Combing HTTP traffic for keyloggers, dialers, spyware, and adware
• Scanning compressed files

An inferior or poorly configured gateway antivirus will only give you a false sense of security. This can sometimes be more dangerous than having no antivirus at all. Malware, just like other threats, should always be countered by a comprehensive, multi-layer approach.
