Posted on: Wednesday, 9 April 2008, 12:00 CDT
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, and Cavium Networks (NASDAQ:CAVM), a worldwide leader in security, network services and content processing semiconductor solutions, today announced that the full--featured Kaspersky Anti-Virus Software Development Kit will be available on Cavium Networks' OCTEON Multi-core MIPS64 processors. The integrated antivirus solution can be used across a wide range of networking equipment such as routers, switches, access gateways, wireless access points and UTMs.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus SDK technology provides superior detection rates of viruses, Trojans, and worms, as well as of spyware, adware, rootkits and all types of mobile malware. The solution also provides the industry's fastest updates for technology vendors, which means end users of Cavium OCTEON processors will be protected from newly-emerging malware threats.
Cavium Networks has supported Kaspersky SafeStream on OCTEON processors since 2006. Kaspersky SafeStream is an industry-first stream-based malware signature technology, which is designed to provide quick and effective first-level defense against the most active malware that spreads on the Internet today.
The Cavium Networks' OCTEON family of Multi-Core MIPS64 processors offers industry-leading performance, scalability, low-power, and advanced hardware acceleration for intelligent networking applications ranging from 100Mbps to full-duplex 10Gbps. These software-compatible processors, with one to sixteen cnMIPS cores on a single chip, integrate processor peripherals, next-generation networking and memory interfaces, advanced hardware acceleration for packet processing, QoS, TCP, multi-core scaling, pattern matching, compression/decompression, storage, security and antivirus acceleration. Additionally the OCTEON processor family provides unparalleled throughput and general purpose programmability for the Layer 2 through Layer 7 processing required to build next-generation intelligent networks.
"We are delighted to extend our partnership with Cavium to include Kaspersky Anti-Virus SDK for industry-leading malware protection in addition to previously-available Kaspersky SafeStream technology. This will allow customers choosing Cavium's OCTEON processors to find ideal solutions to all their network protection needs, be it complete antivirus protection with the highest security, the fastest network performance with focused malware protection, or something in between," says Peter Laakkonen, President of Kaspersky Lab Customized Solutions, Inc
"OCTEON processors are being used by a broad range of Tier-1 Networking OEMs building routers, switches, gateways and appliances across multiple performance and price points," says Amer Haider, Director of Strategic Marketing and Ecosystem Development. "Providing a full-featured Kaspersky antivirus solution on OCTEON and scalable alternatives will provide our joint customers with an excellent platform to build and secure next generation intelligent networking systems."
