Smoothwall integrates VIPRE anti-malware into Guardian Web Security

Smoothwall has fully integrated GFI VIPRE™ anti-malware into the Guardian Web Security, UTM and Email Security product range. Smoothwall’s web content filtering already protects users against web-borne viruses and malware - the integration of the latest VIPRE engine will deliver dramatically improved, 3rd generation web security protection against sophisticated and developing threats.

Smoothwall CEO George Lungley commented: “The integration of VIPRE with Guardian is a key element in our strategy to provide a user web environment that is secure and safe without being highly restricted or being a burden to network managers. In our tests, VIPRE performed exceptionally well and the anti-malware engine itself is noticeably light on system resource usage.”

The VIPRE anti-malware engine is the culmination of years of experience and the latest development tools and ideas. It is certified by Virus Bulletin, OASIS, ICSA and WestCoastLabs – and importantly, it regularly outperforms many of the other globally recognized brands in on-going reactive and pro-active testing. By using a unique combination of heuristic and behaviour analysis along with ThreatNet™ user community intelligence and ThreatTrack™ data feeds, VIPRE delivers exceptionally high detection rates and fast updates for new exploits and zero-day threats.
