Norman Network Protection for collaboration servers is a security gateway to protect collaboration systems as Microsoft SharePoint and other collaboration servers against malware. Documents sent and received by the collaboration server which include malicious content will be quarantined, and source address blocked by the gateway to hinder others to access the infected data.
Prevent disrupted collaboration databases
Protect against malware infected documents
Prevent distribution of malware
Real time statistics and reports
No latency
Easy to install
Special care and attention needs to go into the choice of antivirus software for database based applications. Neither local antivirus nor purely signature-based antivirus scanners are considered ideal. Local antivirus software may be risky and can create discrepancy between the actual file system and the databases if files are quarantined at the file system level only. Also considering that local antivirus signature file are getting larger, and with multiple updates daily, will affect the performance on busy collaboration systems while scanning for malware.

Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server does not affect the server performance because its install at the front of the collaboration server farm. This makes customers able to continue high performance network and server operations with complete transparency without any potential malicious infections neither any disrupted databases.
The solution is independent of network topology and other networking units. It provides value from the second it is installed in the network. Norman Network Protection protects collaboration servers as Microsoft SharePoint and Alfresco systems against malware and includes a powerful management and reporting tool to provide efficient status and reports on the malware situation.
Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server is a fully transparent malware gateway and can be installed easily at any point on the company network, such as the input and output of a database application. Proactive components like the behaviour-based Norman SandBox® reduce the risk of infection from unknown malware. This simulates a computer, including its environment, in which unknown files are allowed to execute their commands unhindered. All activities of those files are monitored and evaluated and the file and path are disabled if necessary.
Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server scans those protocols that are susceptible to malware, including HTTP, CIFS/SMB, FTP, SMTP, POP3, RPC, TFTP and IRC in real-time. Documents are scanned during both upload and download.

Simplicity
By simply connecting the Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server in-line into your network, you can protect the entire infrastructure from the Internet, or protect business critical areas of your network from being infected by malicious code like viruses, spyware, trojans and worms.
Minimal latency
Traditional security gateways use proxy solutions and these solutions have several drawbacks. The most important consequence is the latency in data traffic created by the proxy itself. A proxy holds back the entire stream of files, something Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server avoids by being transparent to the traffic. NNP lets the data pass through, only holding back the necessary data needed to perform a malware scan.
Prevention
When Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server detects a malicious file in transfer on your network, it actively terminates the file transfer and blocks the specific network path to prevent other users or systems from accessing the same file.
Easy deployment
Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server operates on the packet layer in the network, and is transparent to the IP traffic. No IP reconfiguration of your network is needed, just add an address for the administration interface and the Norman Network Protection is instantly protecting your network.
Reporting
Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server gives you real time statistics and reports, presenting detected and blocked malware, system statistics and network statistics. The Norman Network Protection message handling system can send you incident emails and report to an operations center by using SNMP.
ROI
The solution is independent of network topology and other networking units. It provides value from the second it is installed in the network. Norman Network Protection Collaboration Server protects against viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and other malware and includes a powerful management and reporting tool to provide efficient status and reports on the malware situation in the network.
Proactive antivirus protection
Unique proactive technology to provide customers with the best possible protection against malicious software
This powerful and unmatched security solution utilizes Norman DNA Matching, Norman Exploit Detection and Norman SandBox®, the world renowned technology to protect businesses.
Norman SandBox® is a revolutionary way to detect new and unknown malware in a proactive way. It is a virtual environment where programs may perform in safe surroundings without interferring with the real processes, program files and network environment. If a program performs actions that the SandBox regards as suspicious, the program is "tagged" as a malicious program.
Norman DNA Matching is a proactive technology and method for identifying the viral profile of all kinds of malicious programs. Inherited or reused programming codes are recognized in new malware, providing unique protection against threats. New malware that looks like a mutation of a previously known malware, is most probably malware of the same family and identified as malicious by Norman DNA Matching.
Norman Exploit Detection is a technology for detecting malware exploiting vulnerabilities in widely used document types like, OLE2 (Office documents), MDB (Access), WMF (Windows Media File), JPEG (pictures), RIFF (Windows media meta-format) and SWF (Flash). The technology allows for more to be added whenever they are being abused by malware. Norman Exploit Detection does not depend of awareness and analysis of a particular vulnerability.
