1. Kaspersky Lab's Anti-Virus Engine Is Added To Scansafe's Managed Web And IM Security Solutions
Kaspersky Lab, leading developer of secure content management solutions, partners with ScanSafe Inc., the global leader in managed Web security. Kaspersky Lab's solution will be used in ScanSafe's Web Scanning, Spyware Screening and IM Control managed services.
'Our partnership with Kaspersky Lab reflects our commitment to providing customers with the highest level of protection from Web-based threats,' said Dan Nadir, vice president, product strategy, ScanSafe. 'In order to fulfill this commitment, ScanSafe uses a multi-layered, defense-in-depth approach to Web security, leveraging the best available tools to keep our customers' networks completely protected.'
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is well-known for its unsurpassed quality of protection, high detection rates and rapid scanning speeds. Thanks to innovative technologies included in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine, the solution provided for ScanSafe users makes it possible to protect users both from known IT security threats, including viruses, spyware and crimeware as well as threats that are still unknown. These qualities are of the utmost importance for the ScanSafe service which provides real-time scanning of Web traffic.
"Today, malicious programs often penetrate computers while users are surfing the Internet. This is why reliable and timely protection of Web traffic is key to safe use of the Internet" reported Vitaly Bezrodnykh, director of business development, Kaspersky Lab. 'We are pleased to work with ScanSafe - a fast-growing and reliable company providing an essential solution for Web traffic protection.'
In addition to Kaspersky Lab's Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine, ScanSafe also leverages other industry-leading signature-based engines to work in tandem with Outbreak IntelligenceTM-ScanSafe's own proactive heuristics technology that provides protection from inbound and outbound Web-based threats, including zero-hour threats-threats that appear before a signature is available. This is a critical capability, considering that on average 12 percent of all Web viruses blocked by ScanSafe fall into this zero-hour threat category.
As a fully managed service, ScanSafe provides multilayered protection from Web-based malware at the Internet level before it reaches the corporate network. ScanSafe eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming signature updates because it constantly updates its database of Web threats, delivering dynamic protection against both known and emerging threats.

Combining technology as well as analysis from threat technicians, it processes more than five billion Web requests and blocks more than 10 million Web threats each month for customers around the world, providing unmatched visibility into emerging threats.
