PROSECURE WEB AND EMAIL THREAT MGMT APPL BDL The NETGEAR STM combines best-of-breed security features and patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology, providing SMBs with comprehensive, effective, yet simple, and affordable Web and email protection against ever growing Internet-based threats. Malware, spyware, worms, spam, and phishing attacks, are all propagated through Web and email protocols and are becoming more creative and sophisticated, making use of multiple components to attack clients under increasingly stealthy guises. Today�s Web and email threats blend multiple malware and multiple attack vectors to achieve criminal intent. Such attacks are used en masse to disable or steal computing resources and information. Moreover, such attacks accomplish these aims piggybacking on not only email traffic, but also increasingly through real-time Web traffic - a historically difficult application to protect because of its low-latency requirements. Information security threats pose serious dangers to both enterprises and SMBs alike - consequently, SMBs require the same level of security protection that enterprises enjoy. However, security products aimed at the SMB often either employ watered down commercial anti-malware engines or use open source engines. These engines contain a limited signature database, weak detection algorithms, have slow response times to new threats, and are not optimized for real-time Web traffic. Enterprise-class technologies differ from cheaper alternate solutions by protecting the entire spectrum of a particular threat vector as opposed to covering only a small subset of it. However, these technologies are often times processor intensive and require expensive hardware to run effectively. At the core of the STM is NETGEAR patent-pending Web-optimized Stream Scanning architecture. NETGEAR STM Stream Scanning technology allows the use of enterprise-class technologies while maintaining high throughput. NETGEAR has partnered with industry-leading Kaspersky Lab and Commtouch to bring best-of-breed Web and email scanning technology engines to the STM platform. Running on top of the Stream Scanning platform, these engines work in parallel with the NETGEAR heuristics engine to protect against known and unknown threats. This bundle including 1-year Web, 1-year Email, and 1-year software maintenance and upgrades, 24/7 support, and advanced replacement.
