Integration between Check Point's industry-leading firewall products and Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus Gateway CVP Edition enables customers to proactively check for security threats. It is a real-time defense against viruses, worms, Trojans, and malicious mobile codes, such as those based on ActiveX or Java. This solution addresses the need of newly expanded organizations to provide combined content and perimeter security at the gateway level. This integrated solution provides

  • Complete firewall and VPN functionality with unmatched management capabilities
  • Automated detection, deflection, and notification of virus attacks found in SMTP/POP3 (email)

  • Benefit of virus inspection on HTTP/SMTP/FTP and generic TCP connections without having to write extra proxies for those services
  • Unified/combined logging with the firewall
