Managed Anti-Virus

Email-based computer virus attacks are the dominant form of infection today.  Network Box uses award-winning Kaspersky™ anti-virus technology to stop email borne computer virus attacks.

Network Box transparently analyses incoming and outgoing email at the front door for signs of infection and blocks viruses, worms, trojans and malicious content.  Even attachments such as executables and compressed files are scanned, as well as external emails from POP3 accounts.  Additional Just-in-Time technology allows Network Box to apply temporary blocks to as yet unknown viral threats until more permanent solutions have been tested and made available.

The Network Box anti-virus gateway in partnership with Kaspersky™ Labs provides a multi-layered, multi-engine approach to effectively block both known and unknown viruses.  A signature database, updated in real-time using high speed push technology, provides comprehensive recognition of more than 76,000 known viruses, worms, spywares, trojans and general malware threats.  More than 670 different compression and encoding formats are supported.  For new and emerging threats, the state-of-the-art heuristic analyser uses both cryptanalysis and statistical analysis techniques to block even previously unknown viruses and worms.

Features include:

• Detection of email viruses, worms and trojans from SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 sources.
• Incoming and outgoing message protection, with support for large email sizes.
• Support for archived attachments protects against buried threats.
• Security-hardened services, with open-relay protection prevents spread and significantly limits damage.
• Just-In-time and heuristic AV engines block uncharacterised viruses before they have a signature.
