NetDefend AntiVirus (AV) Subscription
NetDefend UTM firewalls implement stream-based virus scanning technology without first caching incoming
files, thus increasing inspection performance and easing network bottleneck nightmares while enabling powerful virus
defense capabilities.
D-Link’s firewalls use virus signatures from the known, respected antivirus company Kaspersky Labs to provide our
customers with prompt signature updates and reliable, accurate antivirus signatures.
Using a built-in extreme-performance AV acceleration engine together with stream-based virus scanning technology,
NetDefend UTM firewalls block viruses and malware before they ever reach your network’s desktops or mobile devices.
NetDefend firewalls create a safer network environment for companies of all sizes, from SMBs to enterprises.
Features and Benefits
• Up-to-date Protection
Kaspersky Labs is the market leader in AV signature creation, providing the fastest response to the most dangerous
viruses, Trojans, worms, and spyware programs, and D-Link firewall AV defenses rely on Kaspersky Labs.
• Performance Optimized
D-Link’s AntiVirus solution has a built-in extreme-performance AV acceleration engine that allows D-Link’s UTM firewalls
to perform with a much higher throughput than other antivirus-capable UTM firewalls on the market.
• Streaming-based Pattern Matching
A streaming-based scan engine inspects all payloads and matches the signature packet-by-packet. File-based AV
protection will never encounter a file-size limitation since D-Link firewalls do not need to store whole files in memory for
inspection purposes.
• Fast Response Time
All AntiVirus signatures are updated hourly and made available through D-Link update servers worldwide, and emergency
signature releases protect against the latest, most virulent virus variations.
• Comprehensive AntiVirus Signature Database
NetDefend’s proactive signature database protects each system against network worms, Trojans, and spyware with over
2,000 signatures covering all Wild List threats and thousands of well-known OS exploits and application vulnerabilities.
