AhnLab Antivirus for Blue Coat
High
performance, Real-time Virus Scanning of Web Content
New viruses, spyware, Trojans, ‘bots, worms, and
other malware increasingly use the Web browser to invade
organizations’ PCs. Profit-motivated hackers exploit
HTTP and HTTPS because these are essentially allowed
protocols for most organizations, and permitted by firewalls.
This is the weak spot in most security plans. To make
matters worse, newer malware often uses root kits so
difficult to remove that administrators are forced to
erase the hard drive and start over. To prevent these
increasing costs and headaches, malware must never get
to the PCs where it could execute.
Virus Scanning at the Internet access point plays a critical role in network security by removing harmful content at the security perimeter—before it enters and infects the network. Just as organizations deployed virus scanning on corporate email systems to secure SMTP-based services, there is a need to deploy virus and malware scanning solutions to protect against new HTTP and HTTPS threats that utilize Web-based services.
Layered Security – Web AV with Blue Coat SG provides a choice of AV engines allowing enterprises to leverage “Vendor A” for their network virus scanning and “Vendor B” for their desktops, servers and gateways. Comprehensive Blue Coat policies and method-level controls in the Blue Coat SG stop worm outbreaks where virus signatures fall short.
Web virus scanning with Blue Coat SG enables organizations to scan for viruses, worms and trojans entering through Web-based backdoors including:
- Personal Web email accounts where a majority of viruses and worms propagate
- Web spam or email spam which unknowingly may activate trojan downloads
- Browser-based file downloads that bypass existing virus scanning defenses
Blue Coat Systems has developed strategic partnerships to complete its Web virus scanning solution. Blue Coat AV provides an appliance-ready solution with support for antivirus engines from Kaspersky, McAfee, Panda, Sophos, Symantec, Trend Micro and Ahn Lab.
