By deploying anti-virus at the gateway, the MXtreme removes the risk of a virus entering an organization’s internal network. Scanning for viruses on the MXtreme provides companies with an additional layer of security, or a "defense in depth" strategy, to augment an organization's existing anti-virus implementation.

The MXtreme Intercept Engine - A Blended Approach
|
|
In addition to spam, the MXtreme Intercept™ Engine addresses email-borne viruses, worms, Trojans and other types of malicious attacks that continue to pose a substantial threat to organizations. MXtreme has the ability to run both the Kaspersky and McAfee anti-virus engine on the product. This provides organizations with an added layer of protection by double scanning all inbound an outbound content.
|
Scanning of Inbound & Outbound Content
|
Virus protection scans both inbound and outbound messages, including attachments, to protect against potentially malicious content such as viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware. Administrators have flexible configuration options to determine how messages should be handled based on the results of the virus analysis from the MXtreme Intercept™ Engine. MXtreme not only blocks known viruses but can also deal with unknown threats by allowing you to set attachment controls and content filters.
MXtreme not only blocks known viruses but can also deal with unknown threats by allowing you to set attachment controls and content filters. Scan attachments down 20 levels of compression; beyond 20 levels, messages are automatically quarantined

Zero Day Defense
|
During any virus outbreak, there is invariably a period of time between virus detection and when the actual anti-virus signature is distributed. The MXtreme Intercept™ Engine takes virus protection beyond signatures and simple attachment filtering with its advanced virus protection. It closes the window of vulnerability that occurs between when an attack first emerges and when a signature is available, protecting networks immediately from attacks.
|
In December 2003, one MXtreme customer blocked 41,000 instances of MyDoom within the first 24 hours of the virus outbreak. It was automatically quarantined by MXtreme even though an anti-virus signature had not yet been developed.

Defence In Depth
|
MXtreme scans messages using multiple layers of virus protection, malformed message scanning, local and global reputation (BorderWare Security Network) to effectively block virus attacks.
