Blue Coat AV appliances enable organizations to detect viruses, worms, spyware and trojans at the Web gateway, with enterprise performance, manageability, and a choice of AV engines.

Blue Coat’s efficient scan-once-serve-many-times architecture scans up to 285 Mbps traffic with less than 10 milliseconds latency. Powerful proxy policy can prevent the most unknown spyware as well.  Layered protection on HTTP, FTP and HTTPS protocols provides defense in depth to stop zero-day attacks and prevent rootkit malware from reaching desktops.

Blue Coat AV combined (as an ICAP+ client) with Blue Coat SG provides scalability for virus scanning, plus complete visibility and control of enterprise Web communications.

Blue Coat offers two lines of appliances.

The Blue Coat AV510 line is designed for small to medium sized sites, and optimized to integrate with the Blue Coat SG810 line.

The Blue Coat AV810 line is designed for high volume Web gateways and enterprise needs.
