SAV Interface Integrating Sophos Anti-Virus protection

OEM partners can now integrate our high-speed anti-virus engine into their standalone industry-standard applications, to seamlessly protect business networks from viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware and adware.

Award-winning virus protection

The most widely licensed of Sophos's technology offerings, SAV Interface (or SAVI) lets you integrate high-speed detection of malware and unwanted applications into your own industry-standard firewalls, email and web filtering products, and other security solutions.

It is also used to scan files being stored on network storage servers, and to scan Instant Messaging. It enables you to provide your customers with complete protection via one solution.

Single scan catches all malware

A single scan protects against viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, adware and other potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

Automatically guards against zero-day threats

Sophos Genotype® virus detection proactively blocks families of viruses, and Behavioral Genotype® Protection analyses the behavior of code before it executes.

Efficient memory usage

Single-engine scanning eliminates excessive memory usage by using a single, multi-threaded copy of the virus detection engine to process all requests.

Fast scanning

SAV Interface ensures minimum impact on system performance with fast scanning speeds and the smallest (5KB) updates in the industry.

Integrates with open-source solutions

Open-source solutions can integrate directly with the detection engine using Sophos programming tools provided with SAV Interface.

Backwards compatible

Once integrated, your product will be compatible with all future releases of the scanning engine.
