Best practices security deployment of an anti-virus solution includes desktop, server, and gateway anti-virus checking. PGP Corporation recommends employing anti-virus checking at the first point of decryption in a PGP Universal™ deployment. If deploying a PGP Universal Server in gateway mode, perform a gateway anti-virus scan immediately after PGP Universal decryption of inbound messages. If deploying a PGP Universal Server in end-to-end mode, perform desktop anti-virus scans immediately after PGP Universal decryption. In general, PGP Corporation recommends anti-virus scanning technology be deployed on as many points of a network as permitted to derive maximum functionality from the PGP Universal deployment.
