Gateway Antivirus /Anti Malware Solution?

K

Good morning,

I am looking for information on a software solution that can inspect traffic coming into the network for virus' malware etc. at the gateway / router level. The customer has a typical network with 12 users on Windows desktops. Each desktop has anti virus software installed. Has anyone implemented such a solution? Ideas?
Thank you
Kell
 
What you want and are asking for doesn't currently and never will exist. There is no reasonable way of scanning internet traffic for viruses as the process would end up making the network speed worse than dial up.

There are intrusion detection systems such as snort that will detect when a virus is already in the network. But the best defense is to set up a firewall and make sure that it blocks all ports other that what is necessary and to use a proxy such as Squid to block access to shady sites. Run some sort of spam filter or service for any email servers. And last but most importantly make sure users are not running as admin accounts on their systems!
