SonicWall Cloud Gateway Anti-Virus

The Cloud Gateway Anti-Virus feature introduces an advanced malware scanning solution that compliments and extends the existing Gateway AV scanning mechanisms present on SonicWall firewalls to counter the continued growth in the number of malware samples in the wild. Cloud Gateway Anti-Virus expands the Reassembly Free Deep Packet Inspection engine capabilities by consulting with the datacenter-based malware analysis servers. This approach keeps the foundation of RFDPI-based malware detection by providing a low-latency, real-time solution that is capable of scanning unlimited numbers of files of unlimited size on all protocols that are presently supported without adding any significant incremental processing overhead to the appliances themselves. With this additional layer of security, SonicWall's next generation firewalls are able to extend their current protection to cover multiple millions of pieces of malware.
