One
Virus Engine Is Not Enough: The Case for Maximizing Network Protection
with Multiple Anti-Virus Scanners
This paper
studies a number of anti-virus engine tests which reveal that each virus
scanner presents its own strengths and weaknesses. As no single anti-virus
engine can fully protect against all possible threats, this paper examines
how simultaneous use of more than one virus engine can achieve greater
security than is technically possible when relying on one anti-virus
engine alone.
Why
You Need an Email Exploit Detection Engine: Networks Must Supplement
Anti-Virus Protection for Maximum Security
Virus-writers are using increasingly complex and sophisticated
techniques in their bid to circumvent anti-virus software and disseminate
their viruses. Email security tools must evolve in the same way if such
threats are to be blocked before they can cause harm. This paper examines
how anti-virus software, though essential, cannot combat such threats and
shows why an email exploit detection tool is also necessary.
Protecting
your network against email threats: How to block email viruses and
attacks
This white paper describes various
methods used by email viruses and worms to penetrate a protected network.
Such methods include attachment files containing harmful code, social
engineering attacks, crafted MIME headers, malicious use of HTML Script
and similar technologies. A URL is provided where you can test whether
your email system is vulnerable to threats like these. This document also
examines the ways through which email can be sanitized and filtered of
malicious code using GFI’s email content/exploit checking and anti-virus
solution based on Microsoft's virus scanning API (VS API), GFI
MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP.
Why
anti-virus software is not enough: The urgent need for server-based email
content checking
This white paper explains why
anti-virus software alone is not enough to protect your organization
against the current and future onslaught of computer viruses. Examining
the different kinds of email attacks that threaten today’s organizations,
this paper describes the need for a solid server-based content-checking
solution to safeguard your business against email viruses and
attacks.
