Symantec™ Antivirus for Caching

Fast, scalable, and reliable virus protection for application files on caching devices

Overview

Rapid access to content is critical to the success of

enterprises of all sizes. Content delivery can be accelerated

and bottlenecks reduced by storing repetitive, bandwidth-

consuming content closer to end users and centrally

managing its flow via the use of caching devices. Because

cached data consolidates enterprise traffic, it is an ideal

point to check the traffic for viruses. While many

organizations have deployed virus protection at the SMTP

gateway to stop email-borne threats, the HTTP caching

gateway is often overlooked. Casual employee Web surfing

and downloads expose organizations to risk at the gateway

even before these threats can affect desktops. At the same

time, Web-based email opens a new virus propagation route

that many organizations believe was closed through the

deployment of SMTP gateway protection. Symantec

AntiVirus for Caching provides a powerful and scalable

solution to protect against the spread of viruses through

caching devices.
