Symantec AntiVirus 4.3 for Caching Media Kit (EN) 11001733 Leaflet

SECURITY TECHNOLOGY

√

Rapid access to content is critical to the success of enterprises of all sizes. Content delivery can be

accelerated and bottlenecks reduced by storing repetitive, bandwidth-consuming content closer to

end users and centrally managing its flow via the use of caching devices. Because cached data 

consolidates enterprise traffic, it is an ideal point to check the traffic for viruses. While many 

organizations have deployed virus protection at the SMTP gateway to stop email-borne threats, the

HTTP caching gateway is often overlooked. Casual employee Web surfing and downloads expose

organizations to risk at the gateway even before these threats can affect desktops. At the same time,

Web-based email opens a new virus propagation route that many organizations believe was closed

through the deployment of SMTP gateway protection. Symantec AntiVirus for Caching provides a

powerful and scalable solution to protect against the spread of viruses through caching devices.

√

Symantec AntiVirus

™

for Caching provides high-performance virus scanning and repair services for

HTTP and FTP over HTTP traffic served through the caching device to ensure that infected files 

do not enter and spread throughout the network.
