By: OPSWAT With over 450,000 new malicious programs emerging daily, almost no anti-virus product can offer a 100% guarantee against all cyber-attacks, even with technologies that protect against 0-day threats. So for organizations with enhanced security needs, using multiple anti-malware engines is an effective option to increase malware detection rates. The addition of Kaspersky Anti-Virus to Metascan’s supported engines provides customers with the highest security requirements an additional option for protecting their networks. According to OPSWAT’s VP of Business Development, Tom Mullen, “Geographic diversity in our engines is a vital element for Metascan. New malware attacks are constantly being developed all over the world, and labs that have expertise in discovering new sophisticated threats and APTs worldwide can bring the highest level of protection against them.” Kaspersky Lab, for instance, discovered several cyber-espionage campaigns over the last few years, including Flame, Gauss, Red October, NetTraveler and Icefog. Ivan Vassunov, Head of Technology Solutions at Kaspersky Lab, expressed optimism regarding the partnership with OPSWAT. “We feel that we can add great value to Metascan customers and we are sure that they will now benefit from the strengths of Kaspersky Lab's robust protection technologies.” Kaspersky Anti-Virus is now included in OPSWAT’s Metascan 16 package.
