Adyton Systems, the German technology company and provider of next generation firewall - NETWORK PROTECTOR today announced a partnership with BitDefender®, an award-winning provider of innovative internet security solutions.

NETWORK PROTECTOR looks deep inside the internet traffic for malware, viruses, illegitimate or classified content. It addresses all the current and future network threats holistically by thoroughly examining the traffic to the application level. NETWORK PROTECTOR integrates the Bitdefender anti-malware technology in a stream-based fashion to maintain packet order and overcome the file size limitations of legacy network security solutions. According to the June 2011 results of the test conducted by independent organization AV-Test, Bitdefender scored a perfect 100% for protection against zero-day malware attacks, detection of recent malware samples and detection of widespread malware. Bitdefender recently re-confirmed its leader status in the latest AV-Test ranking published on September 30, 2011.
