Supported AV/AS Product List
This list is a versioned XML file distributed from a centralized update server that provides the most
current matrix of supported AV and AS vendors and product versions used to configure AV or AS Rules
and AV or AS Definition Update requirements. This list is updated regularly to add support for new
products. Note that the list provides version information only. When the CAM downloads the Supported
AV/AS Product List it is downloading the information about what the latest versions are for AV/AS
products; it is not downloading actual patch files or virus definition files. Based on this information, the
Agent can then trigger the native AV/AS application to perform updates. For the latest details on
products and versions supported, see Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent >
Rules > AV/AS Support Info, or see the “Clean Access Supported Antivirus/Antispyware Product List”
