SonicWALL Anti-Virus Protection with McAfee

SonicWALL provides multi-layer defense against viruses. This approach protects users from known viruses as well as new, unique outbreaks. This real-time protection uses three types of anti-virus analysis. This comprehensive approach ensures that your e-mail remains secure before, during, and after a virus outbreak.

Time Zero Anti-Virus Technology™

Most anti-virus products rely primarily on signatures to stop viruses. These signatures are based on known viruses. Relying solely on this method leaves a dangerous window between the time a virus first appears and the time a signature is developed and deployed. At the moment the outbreak occurs—"Time Zero"—a virus has the opportunity to do significant damage to your computer system. Every passing minute until a signature arrives is enough time for a virus to multiply exponentially and compromise another portion of your network.

SonicWALL's breakthrough Time Zero Anti-Virus Technology provides predictive virus defense complemented with responsive techniques to stop viruses as soon as they emerge. With SonicWALL Time Zero Virus Technology, e-mails potentially containing new viruses are identified and safely quarantined, while known viruses are blocked by virus signatures.

Predictive Techniques:

New e-mail viruses on the Internet are stopped using SonicWALL's predictive techniques which perform statistical e-mail and attachment analysis, detect deceptive files, and check for MIME exploits. This approach can identify seemingly innocent files that may be harboring malicious code.

Responsive Techniques:

SonicWALL rapidly responds to virus outbreaks by focusing on their delivery vehicle—suspicious e-mails. SonicWALL applies its Self Monitoring Active Response Team (SMART) Network, an over-one-million-user, real-time network that automatically engages in detecting and thwarting new threats. E-mails identified by SonicWALL SMART Network that contain dangerous attachments are immediately and safely quarantined.

Virus Signatures:

SonicWALL's multi-layer defense against viruses adds decisive protection through virus signatures.

Decisive Techniques:

SonicWALL's innovative Time Zero Virus Technology is complemented with a leading anti-virus engine from McAfee. This anti-virus engine has a comprehensive set of signatures to prevent previously identified viruses from causing damage to computer systems.

McAfee is the industry leader in dependable anti-virus signatures, protecting 100 million end users. McAfee Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team (AVERT) researches and provides rapid responses to viruses.

Inbound & Outbound Protection
