The Blue Coat AVT 2000 Series enables organizations to scan for viruses, worms, spyware and trojans entering through Web-based backdoors including:

• Personal Web email accounts where a majority of viruses and worms propagate
• Web content or email spam which unknowingly activate trojan downloads or hidden spyware
• Browser based file downloads that bypass existing virus scanning defenses
• SSL-encrypted malware

Traditional, Web anti-virus gateways often lack scalability and performance for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP scanning, leaving desktops to defend themselves. The Blue Coat AV2000 combined with the Blue Coat SG Appliance provides a proven record of enterprise scalability for virus scanning, plus complete visibility and control of enterprise Web communications.

Leveraging virus scanning engines from Kaspersky, Sophos, McAfee, Ahn Lab and Panda, the Blue Coat AV2000 Series represents the next generation in high-end appliance platforms for enterprise Web AV. Heuristic trojan scanning can also prevent many spyware variants. The 2000 series are purpose-built appliances designed for scalable performance and simple integration with the Blue Coat SG Appliances.
