Zyxel Integrates Kaspersky Antivirus Into UTM
By

Mumbai, Feb 22, 2006
Zyxel Communications, the broadband access solutions provider, announced it has seamlessly integrated Kaspersky Lab's Anti-Virus technology into 8-in-1 Zywall Unified Threat Management (UTM) products.
In addition, users will be offered a six-month trial subscription for Kaspersky antivirus database updates, which the company claimed is comparable with higher-end systems at less cost.
Keeping in mind the modern network-borne threats, a special sub-set of signatures for viruses In-The-Wild (ITW) has been recently introduced by Kaspersky Lab. This sub-set of antivirus signatures has been implemented into Zywall UTM to protect the gateway against ITW viruses at wire speed, before virus infections can reach the desktop. Kaspersky ITW virus list is maintained and updated constantly based on data gathered by the Kaspersky Virus Lab.
Milind Kamat, principal consultant-India, Zyxel Communications Corp., said, "Integrating Kaspersky Anti-Virus technology with our ZyNOS4 network operating system will provide our users with a package that outweighs some corporate offerings. Today, most security gateways employ file-based virus scanning that inspects whole files only after placing each of them into the temporary memory. However, if the file being scanned exceeds the size of the available memory, the inspection may not function completely, giving viruses and malware a chance to penetrate a network. Worse yet, it also requires considerable processing power and memory to carry out the packet reassembly process, which decreases system performance and throughput significantly. We are delighted that Kaspersky Lab and Zyxel have been able to eliminate these limitations in our information security solutions."
With Zyxel's latest "Stream-based" virus scanning technology, Zywall UTM passes every individual packet to be scanned by the antivirus engine. This process requires no additional memory or packet reassembly process and therefore does not impact on throughput, regardless of file size, the company said.
"As the brainchild of two leading security developers, Zywall UTM is the world's first solution to deliver real-time scanning of network traffic against the most dangerous viruses. Next-generation protection from malware and inside attacks, ease of installation and management, robust functionality, and cost-effectiveness make Zywall UTM the ideal solution for the users," commented Austin Huang, business development manager, Zyxel Communications Corp.
The Zywall UTM series products can be availed from its national distributor TelExcell Information Systems with prices starting from Rs 10,000 onward.
