    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: 

    • Anti-malware scanner on the gateway that proactively detects and stops known and unknown spyware, trojans and viruses. 
    • High-performance scanning of real-time LAN and Internet traffic with minimal latency.
    • Active protection with block and exclude on IP and Mac addresses and VLAN level.
    • Inbound and outbound stream scanning of Internet and local networks support multiple protocols: FTP, HTTP, SMTP, POP3, RPC, TFTP, IRC and CIFS/SMB.
    • Fast and easy deployment at the core or edge of the network.
    • Malware outbreak prevention - Malware damage control.
    • Detailed pinpointing of malware source (host and file path).
    • World-class proactive malware defense. Easy administration through a web-based graphical interface and fully automated updates, logs, reports, statistics and alerts.

    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.
