OREANDA-NEWS. August 31, 2012. Kaspersky Lab announces the release of the updated version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Microsoft ISA Server and Microsoft TMG Gateway. The new version of this corporate solution adds support for Enterprise editions of Microsoft ISA Server and Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway, further broadening the scope of compatible systems that can now be protected with Kaspersky Lab’s leading anti-malware technology.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 8.5 for Microsoft ISA Server/TMG Gateway scans web and mail traffic passing through the firewalls offered by Microsoft’s solutions. It detects, disinfects or blocks malicious objects, therefore protecting the company’s perimeter. Together with Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway, it is also possible to scan protected HTTPS data flows. The solution is fully scalable, making it possible to distribute the workload among several CPUs and/or servers, and is also compatible with virtual network infrastructure running on the VMware platform.

Key improvements in the new version include a new antivirus engine with faster scanning speed, support for all possible deployment scenarios for Microsoft’s products, a centralized statistics database, and backup storage for disinfected or removed objects. The new interface also simplifies the management of all the application’s settings. The updated solution introduces support for the Enterprise version of Microsoft’s products, namely Microsoft ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition and Microsoft Forefront TMG Gateway 2010 Enterprise Edition.

“The new version of our antivirus solution for Microsoft’s products secures a company’s perimeter with a top-of-the-line antivirus engine, effectively eliminating all threats found in web and email traffic. Added support for Enterprise editions of Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront TMG broadens the range of security infrastructure deployments, which now can be protected by Kaspersky Lab’s technology and expertise,” commented Petr Merkulov, Chief Product Officer, Kaspersky Lab.
