Safeguard Your Network

WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus provides network-wide protection for all users. It works in tandem with the application layer content inspection of Firebox appliances to protect against known malware. WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus scans traffic on all major protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, CTP, UDP, SMTP, and POP3. Email traffic is scanned at the gateway to stop threats before they gain access to your servers. Safer web browsing is enabled by preventing the download and execution of malicious code.

Flexible Management Console

From an intuitive and flexible management console, you can choose which file types to scan and the action taken when malware is detected, including allow, drop, block, or quarantine emails based on type, user, and protocol. You also have the power to choose the action taken when a file cannot be scanned, including password-protected files.

Enhanced Detection Through Machine Learning

WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus leverages machine-learning models to assist in the detection of known, unknown and evasive malware types. Multiple machine-learning algorithms are used in tandem to aid in accuracy and reduce false positives.
