Antivirus Technology
Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500 is equipped with state-of-the-art antivirus
technology that targets network viruses. Because it was designed to act as shield for a
segment of your network, it not only can scan and drop infected network packets
before they reach your endpoints, but also prevent vulnerable or infected endpoints
from accessing the public network.
The number and complexity of virus threats are on the rise. Many organizations have
put in place multi-layer virus protection in the form of a "security suite"– several
antivirus installations that provide a patchwork virus defense. This type of virus
protection, however, is effective only after servers or endpoints detect a virus; in
other words, when a virus is already on your network.
Equipped with the Trend Micro™ network scan engine and network virus pattern
file, Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500 scans every packet entering and leaving a
network segment in real-time (see
Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500
). Trend Micro
has specially designed Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500 to recognize network
viruses, drop infected packets before they enter the network, and prevent future
attacks on your network caused by network virus infections. See
for more information on viruses, including network viruses.
In addition to network virus scanning capabilities, Network VirusWall uses PEAgent
to perform assessments of endpoint. PEAgents can scan for file viruses,
vulnerabilities, antivirus software, and registry keys to help ensure that endpoints are
secure.
