Firewall:  

CA’s effective control of information flow (inward and outward) is facilitated by a secure firewall, which comes in the form of the CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS). This program actually includes five layers, including firewall, intrusion prevention, detection, operating system security and application controls.

Antivirus:  

CA Gateway Security takes a multi-layered approach, protecting your business resources from so much more than just viruses. Gateway Security runs in real-time and scans all internet traffic, so you don’t have to worry about getting viruses online. The virus definition signatures are schedule to update automatically as needed, so you’re always up to date. But CA doesn’t stop at traditional virus detection, the software is also engineered to proactively protect your computers. The malicious mobile code defense feature keeps an eye out for code attacks from corrupt Java, Active X and even VBS scripts.

Antispyware:  

CA Gateway Security is completely capable of protecting your business from not only spyware, but phishing scams, spam, and peer-to-peer file sharing as well. Effectively eliminate time-wasting, annoying, and potentially dangerous spam messages in all of your employee’s inboxes. With Gateway security you don’t have to worry about adware or spyware hogging network resources, clogging up employee desktops, or compromising your important business data.

Other Security/Features:  

CA is specifically designed for the business consumer, and as such is equipped to effectively meet your business security needs. The policy-based program not only protects your employees from visiting bad sites, but also helps you comply with government and industry privacy regulations.

Another advantage of CA is the ability to protect PDAs. With mobile devices increasingly being used in business (and consistently under protected), mobile security is an important security component that CA can help you address effectively.

Proving their worth and efficacy, CA has been certified by the ICSA Labs as well as the Westcoast Labs. They have also received the VB100% verification from Virus Bulletin.
