Gateway Anti Virus Appliances

Developed by gateway anti-virus pioneers, CP Secure's award-winning Content Security Gateway™ (CSG) appliances use patent-pending stream-based scanning technology to protect enterprise-class organisations against viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, and other malware at the internet gateway, before they enter the network. CSG appliances scan in real-time previously undefended real-time protocols such as HTTP and HTTPS, as well as SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and FTP.

Stream-based Scanning
CP Secure's patent-pending stream-based scanning architecture enables, for the first time, the scanning of very high volumes of real-time internet traffic for malware, without bringing enterprise internet activities to a standstill. In the same way that previous breakthrough innovations enabled AV scanning to be extended from individual computers to email traffic, today CP Secure's revolutionary stream-based scanning architecture enables anti-malware scanning to be extended from email traffic to all existing and future real-time internet traffic.

Gateway Spyware Protection
The internet gateway is the ideal place to stop spyware. Unlike desktop anti-spyware, gateway anti-spyware is a proactive measure. The main task is to prevent spyware from entering the network and installing on individual computers. This is in fact not a new idea. A key lesson from AV deployments is that the gateway is a strategic point from which to scan internet traffic and protect an entire network against internet-borne malicious software. In the same way, if spy programs can be stripped out of internet traffic at the gateway, before they can install themselves on desktop computers, then the threat of spyware may be substantially reduced.
