Anti-malware solution provider CP Secure has formed a strategic alliance with Kaspersky Lab, in which the Kaspersky Anti-Virus scan engine will be used in CP Secure Content Security Gateway (CSG) appliances.
CP Secure already has its own scan engine, which will remain in use in addition to Kaspersky's. With the dual engines, the appliance will just be able to stop that many more threats.
"Integration of CP Secure's CSG appliance with Kaspersky's industry-leading anti-malware technology provides a proven real-time gateway solution against viruses, spyware, and other malware in both Web and e-mail traffic," says Kaspersky Lab's Business Development Director Vitaly Bezrodnykh.
The CSG's dual CP Secure-Kaspersky scan engines feature false alarm detection in order to reliably detect known and unknown malware. According to a press release,
Even with the addition of a second scan engine, the CSG's real-time scanning performance is maintained through CP Secure's dual scan engine optimization and patent-pending stream-based scanning architecture. The result is that organizations can scan their Web and e-mail traffic in real-time for spyware, viruses, and other malware, without disrupting their end-users' Internet experience. In particular, the CSG's combination of dual scan engines and real-time scanning technology provides the most effective security against today's prevailing threat: spyware and viruses attacking through the Web vector.
As IDC has written, "Stream-based, real-time scanning of Web-based traffic supported by a comprehensive signature library provides an effective defense at the gateway against spyware and other Web-based malware threats."
The CSG series will not undergo any changes in pricing or licensing as a result of the addition of the Kaspersky engine.
