Cloud Anti-Virus Database
The Cloud Gateway Anti-Virus feature introduces an advanced malware scanning solution that
compliments and extends the existing Gateway AV scanning mechanisms present on
SonicWALL firewalls to counter the continued growth in the number of malware samples in the
wild.
Cloud Gateway Anti-Virus expands the Reassembly Free Deep Packet Inspection engine
capabilities by consulting with the datacenter-based malware analysis servers. This approach
keeps the foundation of RFDPI-based malware detection by providing a low-latency, real-time
solution that is capable of scanning unlimited numbers of files of unlimited size on all protocols
that are presently supported without adding any significant incremental processing overhead to
the appliances themselves. With this additional layer of security, SonicWALL’s Next
Generation Firewalls are able to extend their current protection to cover multiple millions of
pieces of malware.
To enable the Cloud Gateway Anti-Virus feature, select the Enable Cloud Anti-Virus
Database checkbox.
