ZyXEL announces collaboration with Kaspersky

NEW DELHI: Broadband access solutions provider ZyXEL Communications today announced its collaboration with Kaspersky Lab.

Following this collaboration, Kaspersky anti-virus technology is being integrated into 8-in-1 ZyWALL Unified Threat Management (UTM) products. The collaboration will offer a six-month trial subscription for Kaspersky Anti-Virus database updates.

Kaspersky has recently introduced a special sub-set of signatures for viruses In-The-Wild, in response to modern network-borne threats. This sub-set has been implemented into ZyWALL UTM to protect the gateway against ITW viruses at wire speed.

Kaspersky ITW virus list is maintained and updated based on data gathered by the Kaspersky Virus Lab. Combined with ZyXEL's "Stream-based" scanning technology, ZyWALL UTM delivers high performance anti-virus protection.

ZyWALL UTM passes every individual packet to be scanned by the anti-virus engine. This process requires no additional memory or packet reassembly process and therefore does not impact on throughput, regardless of the file size.
