Internet
Gateway Protection
Blended threats such as "Nimda" and
"Goner" propagated at an unprecedented
rate, creating a trend in virus distribution
that’s forcing IT departments to find cost
effective ways of dealing with this new type of
threat. The only way to stop many of today’s
costly outbreaks is through high levels of
compliance with a strictly defined anti-virus
security policy. Internet Gateway protection is
a key component of the overall anti-virus and
policy solution. Scanning for viruses should be
performed at the Internet Gateway where a virus
can be stopped before entry into the network,
minimizing any damage to business critical
systems.
To stop the destructive path of blended threats,
McAfee created the WebShield product line.
WebShield is designed to scan messaging traffic
for viruses and other malicious code. WebShield
scans virtually all inbound and outbound traffic
passing through the Internet gateway. The
scanning process works seamlessly, thereby
making it "transparent" to network
end-users. WebShield may be set up to
automatically clean or quarantine a file and
immediately alert system administrators upon
detection of a virus. WebShield also features
content filtering to stop specific virus hoaxes,
anti-spam functionality and Outbreak Manager to
automatically monitor your servers for virus
outbreaks and a complete history log, or audit
trail, to track the virus’ origin.
The WebShield product line is available as a
software only solution, an integrated software
and hardware appliance, or as a managed service.
McAfee offers the ultimate solution for your
gateway antivirus protection needs. The choice
is yours.
