Cymphonix
Anti-Spyware
With unparalleled XLi scanning and industry-leading anti-spyware alliance partners, Network Composer delivers the most powerful anti-spyware available in a network appliance. This incredible solution saves Administrators time in identifying and stopping spyware infections. After cleaning infected users, Network Administrators enjoy the benefits of blocking spyware proactively rather than managing spyware on a client-by-client basis. Network Composer is the only solution that utilizes event correlation to show how spyware impacts your network as a whole.
Industry-Leading Anti-Spyware Recognition
The Cymphonix Research team has compiled the industry's best spyware referencing database through the PiNG Alliance and PiNG Dynamic updates. In addition to the Cymphonix Research team's robust spyware threat list, the PiNG alliance includes Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy which consists of multiple dynamic resources:
- ThreatNet™ - a worldwide network of hundreds of thousands of CounterSpy users who report on new spyware outbreaks to Sunbelt.
- Microsoft® - spyware definition updates from Microsoft.
- Sunbelt Spyware Research Team - Sunbelt's Industry-Leading Spyware Research Team actively researches new spyware outbreaks, creating and testing new spyware definitions on a constant basis.
Superior Threat Database
Network Composer now provides more than 80,000 spyware signatures in its offering and is currently adding newly-identified threats at an eye-popping rate of more than 1,000 new signatures a week. As a point of comparison, Barracuda Network's spyware firewall contains just 1,800 total spyware threat signatures, and receives "energizer updates" of only about 30 additional signatures per week (data confirmed independently by former Barracuda resellers).
In a side-by side comparison, InformationWeek confirmed the superior protection of Sunbelt Software's threat database. Sunbelt's CounterSpy came in as a solid first when tested against six other enterprise-class competitors. The weekly print magazine, bestowed its coveted "Editors Choice" award to Sunbelt, declaring that "CounterSpy more than exceeded our expectations."
This review confirms what industry publications like PCWorld and eWeek have already discovered -- CounterSpy's threat signature library is definitely best-of-class.
XLi Scanning Searches within the Packet Payload
Network Composer is the only anti-spyware solution that utilizes XLi technology for deep packet scanning. XLi gives Network Composer the power to scan the payload of individual packets - meaning it can identify spyware not only by URL but by Class ID and MD5 Sum.
