desktops. New signatures are created and added to the database by a combination of
SonicWALL’s SonicAlert Team, third-party virus analysts, open source developers and other
sources.
SonicWALL GAV can be configured to protect against internal threats as well as those
originating outside the network. It operates over a multitude of protocols including SMTP,
POP3, IMAP, HTTP, FTP, NetBIOS, instant messaging and peer-to-peer applications and
dozens of other stream-based protocols, to provide administrators with comprehensive network
threat prevention and control. Because files containing malicious code and viruses can also be
compressed and therefore inaccessible to conventional anti-virus solutions, SonicWALL GAV
integrates advanced decompression technology that automatically decompresses and scans
files on a per packet basis.
SonicWALL GAV Multi-Layered Approach
SonicWALL GAV delivers comprehensive, multi-layered anti-virus protection for networks at the
desktop, the network, and at remote sites. SonicWALL GAV enforces anti-virus policies at the
gateway to ensure all users have the latest updates and monitors files as they come into the
network.
