The Blue Coat AV810 Series enables organizations to scan for viruses, worms, spyware, ‘bots and Trojans entering through Web-based backdoors, at wire-speed, including:
- Personal Web email accounts where a majority of viruses and worms propagate
- Browser based file downloads that bypass existing virus scanning defenses
- SSL-encrypted malware
- Spyware Trojans, downloaders, ‘bots, and root-kits
Traditional, Web anti-virus gateways often lack scalability and performance for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP scanning, leaving desktops to defend themselves. The Blue Coat AV810 combined with the Blue Coat SG Appliance provides a proven record of enterprise scalability for virus scanning, plus complete visibility and control of enterprise Web communications.
The AV810 is a purpose-built solution designed for quick integration with the Blue Coat SG appliances for deployment in any sized enterprise environment. Blue Coat AV810 Series represents the next generation in high-end appliance platforms for enterprise Web AV. Heuristic trojan scanning can also prevent many spyware variants. It provides fast, low-latency scanning performance and defense in depth via a choice of antivirus engines from Kaspersky, Sophos, McAfee, Ahn Lab and Panda.
Integrated System Solution
The combination of Blue Coat SG + Blue Coat AV provides scalable performance with control over transport and Web content with integrated virus scanning. Virus 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.
Scalability and PerformancePairing the Blue Coat AV with the Blue Coat SG provides significant advantages for high-speed Web virus scanning that standalone systems cannot match, such as:
- Blue Coat SG processes Web objects at wire speed with integrated caching (up to 400 Mbps, 7 msec latency)
- Blue Coat AV only scans Web objects forwarded from the Blue Coat SG for improved performance
- Blue Coat AV focuses CPU processing on virus scanning using heuristics to maximize throughput
- Blue Coat AV provides load balancing and clustering of multiple Blue Coat AV appliances for enterprise scalability
- Granular policies and method-level controls in the Blue Coat SG stop worm outbreaks where virus signatures fall short (e.g., spIM buddylink)
- Active/active bridging provides failover support on the Blue Coat SG and allows the addition of multiple Blue Coat AV appliances for future growth
- Enhanced processing architecture
The Blue Coat solution means less hardware, high performance virus scanning, and granular control of Web communications. The Blue Coat AV with Blue Coat SG provides unmatched visibility, control, and scalability in an integrated system.
