### FAQ

## Powerful Anti-Virus Protection, Built In-House for Faster, Smarter Updates

### How is Lionic's Anti-Virus different from traditional host-based Anti-Virus software?

Traditional Anti-Virus solutions operate on endpoints and scan files only after they arrive. In contrast, Lionic’s Anti-Virus is deployed at the network edge, such as on CPEs, gateways, and routers. This allows it to intercept threats before they reach end-user devices. By shifting protection to the earliest point in the traffic flow, Lionic stops malware before it has a chance to execute.

### If I already have an endpoint Anti-Virus solution, do I still need DPI-based Anti-Virus?

Absolutely. DPI-based Anti-Virus adds a critical layer of protection by identifying and blocking threats within network traffic before they ever reach the endpoint. This approach is part of a broader strategy known as layered security. While traditional Anti-Virus protects individual devices, many IoT and embedded systems lack the ability to run such software. Lionic’s DPI Anti-Virus secures these vulnerable points by inspecting and blocking threats in network traffic, helping you build a comprehensive, multi-layered security posture.

### What about performance? Won’t scanning slow down my router?

All Anti-Virus scanning introduces some level of processing overhead, but Lionic’s engine is specifically optimized for embedded systems to keep that impact minimal. Through stream-based scanning and a lightweight footprint, it inspects traffic efficiently without the need for full file buffering. This design maintains a strong balance between protection and performance, even on resource-constrained CPE devices.

### Why choose Lionic over using third-party Anti-Virus integration?

With Lionic, you receive a fully integrated, self-owned solution that requires no licensing of third-party engines or dependence on external virus databases. Our technology stack is developed and maintained entirely in-house, providing you with greater control, faster updates, and a lower total cost of ownership without the complexity of external Anti-Virus partnerships.

### USE CASES
