1.1 Overview

Malicious code, such as computer viruses, is one of the main threats for

companies today. When users began to use office applications with

macro capabilities to write documents and distribute them via mail and

groupware servers, macro viruses started spreading rapidly.

After the millennium, the most common spreading mechanism has been

the e-mail. Today about 90% of viruses arrive via e-mail. E-mails provide

a very fast and efficient way for viruses to spread without any user

intervention and this is why e-mail worm outbreaks, like Bagle, Sober and

Mydoom, cause a lot of damage around the world.

The Internet is used by more and more people every day, which opens

another, so far dormant channel, HTTP, for viruses to spread. F-Secure

Anti-Virus Mail Server and Gateway products are designed to protect your

company's mail and groupware servers and to shield the company

network from any malicious code that travels in HTTP, FTP-over-HTTP or

SMTP traffic. The protection can be implemented on the gateway level to

screen all incoming and outgoing e-mail (SMTP), web surfing (HTTP) and

file transfer (FTP) traffic. Furthermore, it can be implemented on the mail

server level so that it not only protects inbound and outbound traffic but

also internal mail traffic and public sources, such as Public Folders on

Microsoft Exchange servers.

Providing the protection already on the gateway level has many

advantages: the protection is easy and fast to set up and install, and it is

invisible to the end users, which ensures that the system cannot be

by-passed and is easy to maintain. Protecting the gateway level alone,

however, is not enough to provide a complete antivirus solution; file

server and workstation level protection is needed, too.
