Email has long been recognized as the
most common vector for transmitting and propagating viruses. The
Internet can also be a conduit for attacks. That's why it is critical
for enterprises to ensure high-performance protection for their networks
at the earliest point of entry - the SMTP and Web gateway.
Plus, as the frequency of attacks increases - propelled by sophisticated
new techniques, including blended threats such as Code Red, Nimda, and
Klez - the need for multi-layered protection has never been greater.
With Symantec AntiVirus for Clearswift, integrated antivirus and content
filtering work together as complementary functions at the email and Web
gateway to scan and block malicious code and unwanted content, providing
advanced, multi-layer protection against viruses before they can invade
enterprise networks.
