Effective cut off Transmission path Gateway Antivirus Solution

In today's network age, the development of the virus presents the following trends: Virus and Hacker program combination, worm more rampant, virus more destructive, the method of making virus more simple, the virus spreads faster, the transmission channel more, the virus infects the object to be more and more widespread. Therefore, a sound security system should include a comprehensive solution from desktop to server, from internal users to network boundaries, to protect against threats from hackers and viruses. In recent years, the emerging gateway Anti-Virus technology in the security system of the application of "hot" up.

Development of anti-virus technology in Gateway

Before the worm was produced, computer viruses were mainly transmitted as removable storage media; Since the worm appeared, the network has replaced the location of the Removable storage media. Many people in the industry concluded that as long as the automatic forwarding of the message to cut off the main transmission, you can effectively control the spread of computer viruses, gateway Anti-Virus is the most effective way to cut off its transmission.

In the field of information security technology, the anti-virus gateway based on hardware development has been introduced for some time, and the software products with the same function appear earlier in the market. From the application effect to see, hardware products with high performance and stability of the user's favor. The biggest flaw of software antivirus wall is that software has some differences with hardware products in terms of usability, security and so on. Because the software antivirus wall to install on the NT, UNIX or Linux and other open operating system platform to use. Open systems often have security vulnerabilities, and these vulnerabilities can be found on the Internet, if not patched in time, illegal intruders only use the open system to attack the method can break through the network protection. At this time, network security products not only play a role in security protection, but become a network of security risks. Not only that, this kind of product installation and maintenance work is extremely complex, in addition to the technical staff to familiarize themselves with the relevant software, but also to master a variety of operating systems to adapt to a variety of mail server maintenance needs. At the same time, the performance and efficiency of the software anti-virus wall products can be limited by the hardware environment and can not achieve the best results.

Similar to the development of firewall products, the development of anti-virus wall products has undergone a process from software to hardware, and there are many similarities from application to technology implementation. First of all, the two types of products in the network are in the same position, all in the network shutdown plays a very important role in security; Secondly, the hardware firewall and anti-virus wall are based on industrial computer development, is independent of the operating system platform products. For the hardware antivirus wall, this product features to make its convenience more prominent. In the past, when users select the relevant software products, not only to consider the user's operating system, but also to the user's mail system for screening, different mail systems to use different mail security filter products to adapt. And when the user's mail system upgrades or switch to other mail systems, often need to buy a match with the security products; Finally, as users of the network speed of more and more demanding, hardware-based information security-specific products can well meet user needs. For the hardware antivirus gateway, in the product design manufacturers adopt the same strategy as the firewall product--Streamline the operating system, based on the special hardware platform and other methods to ensure the rapid transmission of data in the network.
