CP Secure Releases New Web Anti-Malware Gateway for Large Enterprises

Author: Sven Rafferty
Monday, November 6, 2006

CP Secure, Inc. (http://www.cpsecure.com), a leading innovator of gateway anti-malware solutions, announced today the release of the Content Security GatewayTM (CSG) 2500 Web anti-malware appliance. The CSG 2500 provides large enterprises with uncompromising gateway Web security and performance through its dual scan engine architecture, highly scalable real-time scanning technology, and high availability features.

The Web is fast becoming the most dangerous source of malware attacks. A recent RSA® Conference survey noted that “while 29% [of IT security professionals] ranked email viruses as their most significant threat, Web viruses were listed as the most significant threat by 68%”. CP Secure data indicate that about half of all web malware are dangerous programs such as Trojan horses, keyloggers, worms, rootkits, and backdoors, and the other half are nuisance programs such as adware. Because today’s gateway anti-malware scanners face performance limitations when they attempt to scan high-volume Web traffic, the Web has been a major security gap for many enterprises.

“Large organizations have told us they are aware of the Web malware threat and the performance inadequacies of gateway Web scanning appliances on the market,” said David Lu, president and CEO of CP Secure, Inc. “They want a product that simply works – that can scan their high-volume, real-time Web traffic and reliably stop spyware and viruses at the gateway – and that’s exactly what the CSG 2500 does.”

The CSG 2500 extends the CSG product line to plug the Web security gap for large enterprise networks. It features:

  • Dual scan engine architecture incorporating CP Secure and Kaspersky® anti-malware scanners that proactively detect and stop known and unknown spyware and viruses at the Internet gateway;
  • High performance scanning of real-time Web traffic at the rate of up to 480 Mbps for a network of up to 12,000 computers through patent-pending stream-based scanning technology invented by the security veterans who pioneered gateway anti-virus (AV) technology at Trend MicroTM;
  • Inbound and outbound stream scanning of Web (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP) traffic, as well as email (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) and FTP traffic;
  • Optional integration with Websense® Web Security SuiteTM to block access to malicious and inappropriate Web sites and prevent malware downloads via IM and P2P;
  • RAID, redundant power supply units, fail-open, and fail-over high availability capabilities;
  • Plug-and-play deployment as an inline, transparent bridge in less than 20 minutes; and
  • Set-and-forget administration through Web-based graphical summary data and fully automated updates, logs, reports, and alerts.

    • As part of a layered defense, the CSG 2500 complements enterprises’ existing firewalls, IDS/IPS, email security appliances, and endpoint AV/anti-spyware software, thereby preserving and enhancing their past security investments.

    Availability

    The CSG 2500 Web anti-malware appliance is available immediately through CP Secure’s global network of channel partners. Licensing is highly simplified on a per appliance basis and includes hardware, all software applications for an unlimited number of users, and the first year of support. For more information about pricing, please contact your nearest CP Secure solution provider.

      I always prefer to use Kasperky over Avast or McAfee. Kaspersky is much better in detecting new viruses and it does not consume too much resources on your dektop PC.
