What Can You Do with an STM150?
The STM150 combines robust protection against malware with ease-of-use and advanced
reporting and notification features to help you deploy and manage the device with minimal effort.
Here are some of the things that you can do with the STM150:
• Scan Network Traffic for Malware – Using the patent-pending stream scanning technology,
you can configure the STM150 to scan HTTP, SMTP, POP3, HTTPS, IMAP, and FTP
protocols. Unlike traditional batch-based scan engines that need to cache the entire file before
they can scan, this scan engine checks traffic as it enters the network, ensuring unimpeded
network performance.
• Protect the Network Instantly – the STM150 is a plug-and-play security solution that can be
instantly added to networks without requiring network reconfiguration.
• Receive Real-time Alerts and Generate Comprehensive Reports – You can configure the
STM150 to send out alerts whenever a malware or an outbreak is detected on the network.
Real-time alerts can be sent out via email, allowing you to monitor malware events wherever
you are.
By configuring the STM150 to send out malware alerts, you can isolate and clean the infected
computer before the malware incident can develop into a full blown outbreak. The STM150
also provides comprehensive reports that you can use to analyze network and malware trends.
• SNMP Support – You can enable and configure the STM150’s SNMP settings to receive
SNMP traps through a supported MIB browser.
• Automated Component Updates – Downloading components regularly is the key to
ensuring updated protection against new threats. The STM150 makes this administrative task
easier by supporting automatic malware pattern, program and engine updates.
