12.3.4. ZoneDefense with Anti-Virus Scanning

ZoneDefense can be used in conjuction with the NetDefendOS Anti-Virus scanning feature.
NetDefendOS can first identify a virus source through antivirus scanning and then block the source
by communicating with switches configured to work with ZoneDefense. This feature is activated
through the following ALGs:
• HTTP - ZoneDefense can block an HTTP server that is a virus source.
• FTP - ZoneDefense can block a local FTP client that is uploading viruses.
• SMTP - ZoneDefense can block a local SMTP client that is sending viruses with emails.
This feature is described further in Section 6.4, "Anti-Virus Scanning" and in the sections covering
the individual ALGs.
