Varist Malware Detection Engine

Industry leading anti-malware at speed and scale

Threat detection in the most challenging environments

Providing malware detection in security gateway and cloud environments
presents unique challenges that many anti-malware products struggle with:

Early Detection

Security gateways see malware long before security software deployed on end-points. Long update intervals, often hours, mean that anti-malware engines can frequently miss the majority of new malware attacks.

Low Resources

Whether it be hardware security appliances or cloud environments, resources are usually at premium. More processor usage and more memory usage equates to more cost.

Low Latency

End-users expect to be kept secure from cyber threats. However, they also expect a latency free user experience. With today’s working practices being highly data centric, it’s a tough challenge to meet both of these requirements.
