UTM antivirus technology combines advanced signature and heuristic detection engines to provide multi-layered, real-time protection against both new and evolving virus, spyware, and other types of malware attacks in web, email, and file transfer traffic. The UTM content processor integrated into UTM products accelerates both signature scanning and heuristics/anomaly detection for virus / malware protection while delivering performance that scales from entry-level appliances to multi-gigabit core network or data center platforms. UTM threat research teams and global distributed networks provide industry-leading antivirus signature updates for comprehensive protection against all types of content-level threats.

Antivirus Benefits

• ASIC-based hardware design provides scalable antivirus performance for small and multi-gigabit networks alike.
• Automatic updates of antivirus signatures from the UTM antivirus services keeps organizations ahead of the latest threats.
• UTM end-point (desktop) security agents extend antivirus protection to remote desktop computers, mobile laptops, and smartphones that operate outside the network perimeter.
• Available centralized management and reporting, plus security zone and virtual domain features, reduce capital and operational expenditures for antivirus protection.
• Simple per-device/unlimited-user licensing delivers reduced total cost of ownership.
• Transparent, NAT, and Route modes of implementation complement existing solutions and allow UTM appliances to adapt to existing infrastructure.
• Content inspection within SMTP, POP3, IMAP, FTP, HTTP, IM and P2P protocols, with support for all major compressed file formats, provides comprehensive protection against content-level threats.
• Inspection of content over VPN connections delivers defense in depth, with support for all common tunneling protocols (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec, SSL) and on-demand host integrity checking.
