Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service
SonicWall Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention and Application Control integrates gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware and intrusion prevention to deliver intelligent, real-time network security protection against sophisticated application layer and content-based attacks. Because new threats emerge daily and are often unpredictable, SonicWall is able to deliver the highest protection possible with a deep packet inspection engine that delivers threat protection directly on the security gateway by matching downloaded, e-mailed and compressed files against an extensive and continuously updated database of signatures written by a combination of SonicWall's SonicAlert Team and third-party sources.
SonicWall's solution is unique in its ability to handle unlimited file sizes and virtually hundreds of thousands of concurrent downloads, providing ultimate scalability and performance for growing networks. As an added layer of security, SonicWall Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service provides application layer attack protection not only against external threats, but also against those originating inside the network. SonicWall Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention and Application Control is a 1- year subscription service for SonicWall TZ and PRO Series integrated security appliances.
