SAN JOSE, Calif. (RSA Conference), Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Sensory
Networks, the leader in acceleration technology for network security
applications, today announced a partnership with Kaspersky Lab that results in
an accelerated antivirus solution available to network security appliance
vendors. Sensory's NodalCore-accelerated Kaspersky(R) Anti-Virus (ncKAV)
assures end-users better protection against malware that can penetrate
networks via email or web browsing -- without impacting network performance or
sacrificing accuracy.
Ideal for Gigabit appliances and gateway security products, ncKAV is a
high-performance antivirus scanner that utilizes antivirus detection
technology by Kaspersky Lab and content scanning acceleration technology by
Sensory to detect the most widespread and dangerous viruses. Gateway detection
of viruses prevents most infections from ever reaching the desktop.
ncKAV will boost that effectiveness by leveraging the industry's
top-ranked virus detection rates, fastest response time and the market's only
hourly updates from Kaspersky. With ncKAV, gateway products are able to scan
network traffic for the most dangerous viruses at unprecedented network
speeds. Scanning up to 12,000 files per second, ncKAV demonstrates throughputs
up to 900Mbps with a full database loaded.
"By combining Sensory's expertise in hardware acceleration with our
award-winning antivirus technology, network security appliance vendors can
build reliable, best-of-breed, high-performance products that improve network
protection against viruses and worms," said Vitaly Bezrodnykh, business
development director at Kaspersky Lab. "As a result, organizations can deploy
Sensory-accelerated Kaspersky Lab antivirus software and rest assured that
traffic entering the network is free from worms, viruses and latency due to
overloaded security scans."
Security attacks are growing in number and size and also causing greater
financial impact to organizations worldwide. According to The Computer Virus
Prevalence Survey, in 2003 almost a third of businesses worldwide had suffered
a virus "disaster," defined as 25 or more computers infected by a single virus
in the same incident, costing an average of almost $100,000 to clean up each
time.
As companies look to shore up defenses and put defense-in-depth at the
gateway, the unintended consequence can be a downgrade in network performance.
By hardware-accelerating Kaspersky Lab's antivirus technology with Sensory,
companies can enjoy nearly wire-speed performance and know that they haven't
compromised on accuracy or overall security. Sensory's products offload and
accelerate content scanning applications to keep network traffic performing at
optimal speed.
"Sensory is committed to providing network security vendors the best
security applications on its NodalCore hardware acceleration platform.
Kaspersky Lab is a leader in antivirus offering immediate protection from
Internet-borne viruses and threats," said Matt Barrie, chief executive officer
at Sensory. "Together, Sensory and Kaspersky deliver OEMs the explosive
combination needed to compete in the network security arena - a recognized
anti-virus solution that meets the performance requirements mandated by the
speed of business today."
Interested parties are welcome to visit Sensory Networks in booth #1923 at
the RSA Conference, taking place at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose,
Feb. 13-17, 2006.
