Rapid access to content is critical to the success of enterprises of all sizes. Content delivery can be accelerated and bottlenecks reduced by storing repetitive, bandwidth-consuming content closer to end users and centrally managing its flow via the use of caching devices. Because cached data consolidates enterprise traffic, it is an ideal point to check the traffic for viruses. While many organisations have deployed virus protection at the SMTP gateway to stop email-borne threats, the
HTTP caching gateway is often overlooked. Casual employee Web surfing and downloads expose organisations to risk at the gateway even before these threats can affect desktops. At the same time, Web-based email opens a new virus propagation route that many organisations believe was closed through the deployment of SMTP gateway protection. Symantec AntiVirus for Caching provides a powerful and scalable solution to protect against the spread of viruses through caching devices.
