ANTIVIRUS GATEWAY SOLUTION

√

Symantec AntiVirus Gateway Solution provides scalable and reliable virus scanning for the email

and Web gateway to enhance security without sacrificing performance.

• MINIMAL RESOURCE DEMANDS  Advanced scanning and repair services are optimized for

speed to minimize latency of email and Web traffic. 

• COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION  Award-winning Symantec antivirus technologies detect and

protect against viruses, worms, and Trojan horses in all major file types, including mobile

code and compressed file formats.

Viruses transmitted via Web and email traffic are notoriously fast-spreading, so a fast, proactive

cure is required.

• HOUR-ZERO PROTECTION  Blocking file types can stop outbreaks at the network perimeter. 

• MASS MAILER CLEANUP Detection of mass mailer worms enables administrators to 

eliminate the entire message, not just the attachment, to free mail server resources.

Symantec AntiVirus Gateway Solution combines signature and heuristics-based detection 

technologies leveraging the following Symantec technologies to help prevent viruses from entering

the network:

• LIVEUPDATE

™

Automatic scheduled delivery of virus definitions ensures up-to-date protection.

• BLOODHOUND

™

Heuristic detection technology that can detect up to 80 percent of new and

unknown executable file viruses, including malicious mobile code.

• NAVEX

™

Modular scan engine technology that updates virus definitions and scan engines

without the added requirement of restarting or reinstalling software. This ensures maximum

up-time and helps lower the total cost of ownership.

Spam poses a significant threat to enterprise email resources by consuming valuable bandwidth

and email storage space, negatively impacting end-user productivity, and potentially exposing the

organization to legal liability. To combat this increasingly sophisticated threat, organizations need

a solution that provides multiple antispam techniques and layers of protection.

Symantec Mail Security for SMTP— the email scanning component of the Symantec AntiVirus

Gateway Solution— controls spam by combining various detection and false positive prevention 

layers, including antispam heuristics, support for multiple real-time blacklist services, sender

blacklists, filtering rules to detect spam, and enhanced whitelisting. These layers work together to

maximize detection and minimize false positives.
