Security supplier Network Box is hoping to expand its reseller base with a product that scans for viruses, such as Bagel, that hide in encrypted Zip files.
Some antivirus vendors, including Kaspersky and Sophos, have announced they also will scan such attachments, which are being used as a hiding place for viruses.
By blocking the infected Zip files at the gateway to the network, viruses are stopped before they enter a firm's IT system, rather than hoping desktop virus protection catches them once they are inside.
Network Box hopes its remotely managed hardware, aimed at SMEs, will enable it to expand its reseller network.
