What in the name!...
Summary: A 2010 Cisco Talos post by Alain Zidouemba clarified the naming of ClamAV products, listing three: ClamAV, an open source GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX built for e-mail scanning on mail gateways; ClamAV Win32 binaries, a Win32 port; and ClamAV for Windows, a Windows-specific anti-virus solution using a cloud-based protection mechanism developed with Immunet Corporation. The post states these are the only products developed and maintained by Sourcefire Inc.
Key Takeaway: When three products share one name but differ in codebase, platform, and maintenance, a security team can deploy or trust the wrong one - and the post's claim that only these are maintained by Sourcefire is the line that separates supported software from lookalikes.
