Combined Hardware/Software Solutions to Malware and Spam Control

Overview As spam and spyware (along with other types of malware) have increased as a threat to the network infrastructures of organizations, vendors have increasingly begun to offer 'Appliance'-based solutions involving combined, dedicated hardware and software. These include products such as IronPort, Tumbleweed's Mailgate Edge, Barracuda and NetAppliance NetCache, to list some of those most frequently referenced. This paper summarizes the experiences of 21 US Federal agencies in deployment of one such combined solution: IronPort. While relating all pertinent input provided by the organizations, the paper also focuses on the impact of these organizational experiences on the mostly theoretical concerns and issues raised previously about the purported benefits of the hardware approach over software-oriented scanners.
