Damages from viral assaults cost organizations billions of dollars every year. In today's always-on world, it is no longer enough to simply scan SMTP-based e-mail. Attackers are delivering their creations via the paths of least resistance: the web, Windows^® file shares, IM and other real-time protocols. Threats delivered over the web or similar methods infect much more quickly, greatly reducing the window for protection. Sentinel Complete™'s industry leading signature availability and content-chip powered performance protects your organization against day-Zero attacks at a level no one else can offer.

The traditional approach to anti-viral protection is to scan SMTP-based e-mail at a gateway and pray that virii delivered via other methods will be stopped by host-based anti-viral scanners (i.e. Norton, McAfee, etc). This risky approach causes millions of infections every year as host-based scanners prove ineffective against worms and virii delivered through webmail, malicious websites and IM. To protect your organization in today's always-on world, malware must be stopped before it reaches your computing infrastructure. This means scanning your network streams for malware borne not only in SMTP e-mail, but also POP, IMAP, FTP & HTTP (web) protocols. Webmail poses a particularly serious threat, as it enables 90% of the world's virii to be transmitted over the world's least scanned protocol. Infection resulting from webmail can be devastating, leaving your organization helpless to stop the viral spread until the damage has been done.

Some solutions offer gateway-based HTTP scanning, yet their customers are forced to disable this vital means of protection due to the heavy performance penalties incurred. All other approaches to gateway pan-protocol protection have proven unacceptable due to their non-content chip accelerated design: scanning for virii is hard work and can result in a 75% reduction of usable bandwidth when implemented using a non-content chip gateway. Sentinel Complete™ is the only offering that gives your organization full protection and full bandwidth at the same time. This is due to its proprietary content processing chip. When your organization is protected by Sentinel Complete™ it gets premier protection, and all the bandwidth it pays for.

Completing the circle of protection is the fastest signature update times in the industry. Not only does Sentinel Complete™ provide pan-protocol protection, it provides maximal shielding from day-Zero attacks through continuous updating as the threat landscape changes. This means there's no more signature updating for you to do! Why burden your infrastructure with the heavy-load associated with anti-viral processing, just to be supplied with out-of-date signatures after the danger has passed? Sentinel Complete™ helps you close your security vulnerabilities.

Unified Defenses

As an integrated service, Sentinel Complete™ provides unified counter-measures for today's blended threats. Malware no longer has a single malicious component, such as a virus. It now includes intrusions and other attack vectors to maximize it's propagation and destructive potential. As a result, it is no longer enough for virus and intrusion protection to be carried out autonomously. Sentinel Complete™'s unique architecture allows its anti-virus and intrusion prevention engines to coordinate protection against multi-vectored threats. This unique approach blunts attacks that evade traditional "island-oriented" solutions. In today's battle for security, timely intelligence and teamwork are essential. With Sentinel Complete™ this collaborative philosophy applies holistically, from our people to our technology.

By moving to Sentinel Complete™ you can get more mileage out of your existing networking and storage investments, and get out of the vicious security upgrade cycle. Our anti-virus protection provides a blanket of security for your computing infrastructure, enabling you to concentrate on your business objectives. No maintenance, and zero administration mean more time for the things that concern your business. Sentinel Complete™: Zero Configuration. Zero Maintenance. 100% Security.
