Blue Coat puts AntiVirus Scanning on port 80

The Blue Coat ProxyAV™ Series enables organizations to raise their security to new levels by scanning for viruses, worms, spyware and Trojans entering through Web-based backdoors including:

• Personal Web email accounts where a majority of viruses and worms propagate
• Web content or email spam which unknowingly activate Trojan downloads or hidden spyware
• Browser based file downloads that bypass existing virus scanning defences

Integrated System Solution

The combination of ProxySG™ + ProxyAV™ provides scalable performance with control over transport and Web content with integrated virus scanning. AntiVirus engines and signatures are only one part of Web content control. New worms and trojans are using IM and Web spam to propagate with new techniques always on the horizon. For the first time, Web communication controls and Web virus scanning work together using Blue Coat solutions.
