Norman releases new anti-malware gateway to combat
viruses and spyware
Press release
Oslo, Norway, June 14, 2007
Norman
ASA, a leading innovator of proactive solutions for protection against
malicious software, announced today the release of Norman Network Protection
(NNP) - a new generation high-performance security gateway to protect
organizations infrastructure in real-time against known and unknown malware
attacks. As the first anti-malware gateway in the world, NNP includes a
detailed analysis of new and unknown malware, like viruses, worms, trojans and
spyware.
Today, any
port and any protocol can be used to inject malware into the network, and
tunnelling of network traffic may circumvent firewall technology. In addition,
HTTP (web traffic) has become the universal transport protocol with traffic
flowing freely through the main gateway. This, together with mobile computing
and an increasingly sophisticated communication technology, challenges the
fortress-style single point of entry as network defense. The single point of
entry can therefore no longer be classified as secure.
NNP’s
multiprotocol support detects and protects against malicious network traffic
stopping known and unknown viruses, worms, trojans and spyware without sacrificing
performance. In real-time it scans CIFS and SMB, the widely used Windows
protocols, and HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, RPC, TFTP and IRC, positioning NNP among
the most sophisticated anti-malware scanners available.
NNP’s
web-based management system instantly informs and protects against emerging
threats and malware. When NNP discover a new and unknown piece of malware, a
comprehensive analysis of the program’s action is generated. This is done
based on Norman’s award-winning technology Norman SandBox.
“Customers
and partners have told us they need an efficient anti-malware product that is
simple to install and that works efficiently. They demand a solution that
performs real-time scan of their high-volume network traffic and instantly
stops and protects against distribution of malware. That's precisely what NNP
does”, says Audun Lødemel, VP Marketing at Norman. “The
combination of NNP and SandBox analysis provides a unique solution for
organizations to defend themselves”.
“By
installing NNP as a transparent network malware scanner, data packets on known
malware-carrying protocols will be scanned. Malware will be stopped and
isolated before it reaches its targets. NNP will isolate the malware, right
down to the specific malicious file. This is crucial to avoid spreading of
malware in the customers’ networks”, says Are Føllesdal
Tjønn, Norman’s Chief Technology Officer.
NNP’s main
features:
NNP
employs the power of Linux to maximize throughput and availability. The
scanning engine and virus definition files are automatically updated on-the-fly
without any down time or manual operations.
