Fortinet launches FortiOS 2.8 for grayware protection

Fortinet, the provider of ASIC-accelerated, network-based anti-virus firewall
systems for real-time network protection, launched FortiOS 2.8. It protects
customers against all forms of grayware, including spyware and adware.

Fortinet announced new capabilities to detect and eliminate a wide variety of
spyware and related grayware. All new Fortinet's anti-virus and firewalls now
include FortiOS 2.8.  

Grayware is a term applied to a wide range of malicious applications such as
spyware, adware and key loggers that are secretly installed on a user's
computer to track and/or report certain information to an external source
with-out the user's permission or knowledge.

Fortinet combats grayware by utilizing both a network-based and host-based
approach. The network-based approach leverages its FortiGate Anti-virus Firewall
platforms to protect against viruses, worms, Trojans, intrusions, spam,
inappropriate Web content and grayware in high performance, cost-effective,
easy-to-deploy systems.

The host-based approach is delivered by FortiClient Host Security software,
which combines a VPN client, anti-virus protection, and a personal firewall, in
addition to grayware detection.

Spyware, adware, browser hijacking, and key logging are some of the
fastest-growing and most dangerous threats on the Internet. Protecting against
these threats requires an integrated approach. FortiOS 2.8's grayware and
anti-virus features are combined with IDP and firewall capabilities to create
Fortinet's dynamic threat prevention approach.
