Description

• Enterprise-class anti-malware engine

  The STM features a full enterprise grade antimalware engine with advanced scanning algorithms and a signature library of over hundreds of thousands of malware signatures. Compared to many competing products that often use a very limited signature set for performance reasons (thousands versus hundreds of thousands of signatures), the difference in coverage is over a hundred fold. Viruses, spyware, and other malware are detected and blocked. Spyware phone homes and drive-by downloads are also stopped by the STM, preventing further infection and protecting your valuable information.

• Zero hour threat protection

  For zero hour threats, the STM's "in the cloud" infrastructure identifies new threats at zero hour, proactively stopping new malware, phishing attacks, spam, bad URLs, and zombie/bot attacks before they reach end user environments. It probes over two-billion transactions daily from data sources such as zero hour malware patterns, phishing detection, threat research, IP reputation, spam messages, and zombie data.

• Industry-leading anti-spam engine

  The NETGEAR anti-spam engine features a distributed spam analysis architecture that uses an "in the cloud" approach to feed global up-to-the-minute spam outbreak information to the appliance to stop new spam. The result is the highest spam detection and lowest false positive rates in the industry. Unlike open source and other traditional anti-spam filters, Distributed spam analysis has superior adaptability to new types of spam, performs equally well with spam of all languages, and has no "learning" period. New spam is classified and detected within minutes of emerging onto the Internet.

• Enterprise-class URL filter

  The STM's URL filtering engine employs enterprise-class web filter technology with URLs divided into 64 categories for specific and targeted administration. With a database of over 100-million URLs, the NETGEAR STM URL filtering engine relies on HTTP connectors deployed "in the cloud" at service providers throughout the world to classify and update URL entries in real time. The NETGEAR STM URL filtering engine automatically selfadapts and categorizes new URLs that have previously been unknown - unlike less effective approaches that force administrators to manually "submit" new entries one by one. The URL filter not only blocks access to unwanted sites, but also blocks sites containing spyware.
