Cyberguard has released a content security solution, that uses up to three anti-virus engines to simultaneously scan.

Webwasher CSM 5.2, the newest version of CyberGuard's Content Security Management Suite, also delivers a unique 'One-Click Lockdown' feature which enables organizations to weather heavy attacks by triggering a lockdown of vulnerable areas of the network while allowing necessary applications to run uninterrupted. Webwasher CSM 5.2 will be generally available in July.

Cyberguard claim 3 advantages for using a multi-engine approach.

 *One of the engines will be updated faster, than a single-engine application. This would reduce the time between a virus outbreak and an update.
 *Captures viruses missed by a single anti-virus program.
 *Protects against unavailabilty of updates from a single anti-virus vendor, e.g. power cuts or natural disasters.
