Safeguard Your Network
WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus provides network-wide protection for all users. It works in tandem with the appliance layer content inspection of Firebox appliances to guard against known malware. WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus scans business on all major protocols, including HTTP, Explicit HTTP, FTP, TCP, UDP, SMTP, IMAP and POP3.

Highly Effective Scanning
Incorporating the award-winning Bitdefender scanning engine, WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus uses both signature techniques, also as dynamic heuristic analysis with code emulation, to catch polymorphic viruses and malicious code that signatures can’t catch. Compressed and encoded files are decompressed for thorough analysis with wide support for various compression types. Signatures are continuously updated, ensuring timely and proactive protection against emerging threats.
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 allowing, dropping block, or quarantining emails based on type, user, and protocol.

Enhanced Detection Through Machine Learning
WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus leverages machine-learning models to help within the detection of known, unknown and evasive malware types. Multiple machine-learning algorithms are used in tandem to assist in accuracy and reduce false positives.
How It Works
WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus scans files and traffic flowing through the Firebox to identify known malware and riskware.If a threat is identified based on signature matching, the connection is blocked or the file is stripped.
