Security expert Avira announced today that Libra, a global provider of enterprise-grade email security solutions, has licensed Avira’s SAVAPI anti-malware scanning engine to incorporate into Libra products.

With the scale and complexity of recent email threats, including spam, viruses, Trojans, phishing and malware attacks, Libra ESVA’s engineers determined that the traditional approach of having a single generic antivirus engine is no longer sufficient.

To combat this evolving threat, Libra’s engineers decided to integrate a second antivirus engine, and they found Avira to be the best vendor to provide it.

“We were looking at technology partners that could provide us with a rock solid industry leading antivirus technology while keeping full control over our customer experience, allowing to improve detection rate and reduce false positives,“ said Eng.Paolo Frizzi, CEO of Libra. “With the highest performance virus scanning in the industry, we chose Avira’s anti-virus technology to become a fully integrated layer of virus protection on our Libra ESVA email security appliances.”

During the scanning process, Libra ESVA analyzes each incoming message and file, identifies the type and then applies the relevant technique to ensure highest throughput and efficacy.

The integration of Avira’s scanning engine adds significant value to the ESVA product. With a per-domain integrated management and deployment, the solution offers ease of management with automatic updates and “set and forget” policies to address any customer specific requirements. Additionally, performing robust virus filtering at the gateway significantly reduces the resources needed at the groupware servers and the bandwidth requirements within the network.

Integrating Avira SAVAPI into Libra ESVA boosts product performance to the highest industry standards. Both products have been tested and awarded top ratings by Virus Bulletin in theirVBSPAM and VB100 tests, confirming their positions as some of the most powerful and accurate spam and virus protection products available.

Libra Esva updates to version 2.8 with two main great features: active-active Clustering and the integration with Esvalabs!

High availability and fault tolerance are essential in modern enterprise and service provider networks. Libra Esva 2.8 clustering enables organizations to meet their high availability and fault tolerance requirements while also providing centralized management, scalability and data redundancy.

Geographical Clustering, quarantine consolidation across both nodes and load balancing give even more reliability to the solution.

Further information about Clustering feature are available here.

The second main new feature is called Esvalabs: at Esvalabs we study and research existing spam campaigns in real time, keeping focused even on emerging threats. We work everyday in a collaborative way with our customer base, researching through missed spam and false positives feedbacks that we receive at Esvalabs.

That way all installation will benefit from a single feedback through our hourly live update.

Spam and False Positives samples can be submitted to Esvalabs according to any of the following methods:

• Directly from Libra Esva Web Administration
• With any email client as RFC-2822 attachments (forward as attachment)
• With Esvalabs Outlook Add-in

More information are available by downloading Esvalabs datasheet here.
