Beating Viruses the Smart Way

If you happen to be subscribing to the service from the slower vendor then your threat window remains open longer and you are vulnerable from malware attacks.

A Jack of All Trades defence

It is now possible to layer in malware defences and draw together multiple antivirus engines in one solution, giving you the castle moat, drawbridge, walls and inner keep in one go.

GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP is a product that uses multiple industry leading virus scanners to orchestrate a thorough antivirus, exploit detection and threat analysis defence.

It uses antivirus engines to scan all incoming email from Norman and BitDefender. To bolster defences even further, you can add additional virus scanning technology from Kaspersky, McAfee and AVG Anti-Virus.

Having access to 4 or 5 antivirus engines will not deliver 4 or 5 times more security, but what it will do is massively improve your chances of avoiding an email born virus as you will automatically close your threat window as soon as the first vendor has released the virus signature file.

In addition you will make use of multiple vendor’s heuristics based antivirus technologies ensuring that you are as ahead of the game as you are ever likely to be.

In this day and age it is critical that we all have as many defensive advantages as possible. Multiple antivirus engines delivers this advantage, so why not consider it for your systems?
