eTrust
Internet Defense - Antivirus
eTrust Intrusion Detection includes the same
powerful detection engine and signatures that are used in Computer Associate's
ICSA certified eTrust Anti-Virus
product. Using this engine and signatures, eTrust Intrusion Detection detects
all known viruses and monitors your network traffic to detect their entry into
or movement around your network.
eTrust Anti-Virus provides real-time, enterprise-wide
protection against today’s most serious security threat — viruses. This
robust anti-virus solution detects 100 percent of the viruses
"in-the-wild," and is the only product on the market to win the Virus
Bulletin "100 Percent Award" three times running. Integration with eTrust
Content Inspection provides complete virus and malicious code protection,
actively intercepting viruses lurking in e-mail, as well as in remote or local
files. With powerful anti-virus capabilities and global research centers
identifying new viruses around the clock, eTrust Anti-Virus safeguards
any environment, from global eBusiness assets to personal desktops.
Virus Detection and Active Email Content
By allowing personnel to send and receive Email messages over the corporate
network, you are exposing your network to possible viruses and active components
that could affect the way your network functions. To protect your network from
this type of abuse, but still allow personnel to use Email functions, you can
have eTrust Intrusion Detection check all incoming and outgoing Email messages for viruses,
Java applets and other active components. When these components are detected, eTrust Intrusion Detection
immediately sends an alert. The alert message includes details on
the virus or active component and suggestions on how to react.
Updating the Viruses and Intrusion Pattern Lists
New viruses and intrusion types are constantly being discovered. As part of
an ongoing commitment to protect our customers’ networks from intrusions,
abuses and productivity loss, eTrust Intrusion Detection includes an
auto-update feature which keeps eTrust Anti-Virus current with the latest
virus signatures, while its built-in heuristics engine identifies new strains of
viruses as they emerge. These lists
include a list of known viruses for virus checking, a list of intrusion
detection rules and a list of categorized URLs for blocking purposes.
