Overview:
Panda Security for ISA Servers protects
against all malware (viruses, worms, Trojans,
spyware and adware, spam and hoaxes, phishing,
dialers, hacking tools, security risks, etc.). It
scans all file formats sent and received. It does
this using a Web filter (ISAPI) and an application
filter through HTTP, SMTP and FTP (over HTTP).
Panda Security for ISA Servers is the perfect
complement to the protection offered by the security
modules and proxy cache of MS ISA servers. It also
offers an innovative content filtering module.

Is a corporate firewall enough to keep my
company's external communication free from viruses
and intruders?
ISA (Internet Security and Acceleration) is
Microsoft Corp's corporate firewall and web server.
In addition to administering employees' Internet
access, with ISA server it is possible to shut down
protocols and communication ports which are
unnecessary and vulnerable to attack. Nevertheless,
ISA server also needs to be complemented with a
component that analyzes the traffic passing through
permitted protocols in order to filter out dangerous
or unproductive content such as spam.
You need a solution that blocks malware and
integrates with ISA
Panda ISA Secure is the antimalware protection
that scans and disinfects, using a web (ISAPI) and
application filter, files in all formats sent and
received through HTTP, SMTP and FTP (over HTTP) as
they pass through the Microsoft ISA server.
This antimalware solution protects against
viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware, spam,
hoaxes, phishing, dialers, hacking tools, security
risks, etc. ISASecure is the perfect complement to
the protection provided by the security modules and
proxy cache in MS ISA servers, offering added value
through an innovative content filtering module.

Key Differentiators:
Email armor-plated against attacks
Panda for ISA prevents the spread of email
infections. Detects phishing and scans nested
messages at various levels, attachments and
compressed formats such as ZIP and ARJ. It even
detects network viruses in packets and other viruses
in OLE objects embedded in the message body.
In addition, if the infected message has been
automatically generated by a worm, the message is
completely deleted, as neither the attachment nor
the message have any value for the recipient.
Content filtering for SMTP mail and HTTP traffic
With the content filter for SMTP mail, you can
filter encrypted messages, create filter rules to
combine several criteria (subject and message body,
name, extension and content of attachments) to
eliminate external references, suspicious compressed
files or unwanted senders.
The Panda for ISA HTTP filter allows certain IP
addresses and VIP users to download files without
restrictions when using the Internet. It also lets
you import blacklists of computers that cannot
access web pages.
It also includes a filtering system based on the
use of passwords or macros, and the size, extension,
name or MIME type of downloaded files. This module
also guarantees that Java applets, ActiveX controls
and scripts are blocked before they are downloaded
by the user.
Optimum performance
Panda's VirtualFile technology scans all
files in memory -even compressed files- much faster
than if they had to be copied to hard disk.
It also includes PartFile technology which
allows the network administrator to control the
performance/security balance in the ISA server,
retaining only suspicious files to be scanned and
disinfected.
Powerful heuristic engine
Its powerful and advanced HTML scan engine is
capable of detecting and destroying viruses and
malicious objects hidden in Web pages before they
get through to internal network users.
Panda for ISA also incorporates the Genetic
Heuristic Engine (GHE) a powerful feature which
is highly effective in detecting new threats,
allowing suspicious items to be quarantined
temporarily until Panda can disinfect them
automatically.
Remote, centralized administration
Panda for ISA is managed remotely and centrally
through a single interface: Panda AdminSecure.
Through this tool, all the Panda solutions are
installed, updated and monitored, with real-time
views, reports, alerts, etc.
So, instead of individually managing each server
or protection (antivirus, antispam, antispyware...)
installed in the servers, a single console is
enough. AdminSecure can consistently administer all
protection, even when deployed across heterogeneous
platforms.
Hourly automatic updates
Panda for ISA can be configured to check new
signature files hourly without user intervention,
and updates automatically. Incremental updates of
malware signature files contribute to reducing total
bandwidth usage and to soften the peaks produced in
the communications.
Flexible configuration
Administrators receive warnings directly via SMTP
mail or across the network with on-screen messages.
These warnings can be configured with parameters to
prevent saturation.
