I was not sure whether to post this or not, as it's aimed at Enterprise / Business.

"Coordinated Protection from Malware and Advance Persistent Threats

No single anti-virus solution can offer complete protection against Information Security threats including Malware and Advance Persistent Threats (APT), but attempting to deploy multiple Anti-Virus (AV) solutions typically increases your administrative burden and often results in clashes between competing tools.

PT Multiscanner is the first enterprise solution to address this challenge by combining and coordinating the AV definitions from multiple vendors in a single scan, offering increased overall protection without the need to conduct additional tests or consolidate separate results.

Optimize Malware and APT detection effortlessly

PT Multiscanner is a multi-engine, stream-based antivirus platform that provides high-performance analysis of data stored or transmitted via corporate networks including file storage, web portals, email, and network traffic.

Benefit from simultaneous protection from market-leaders such as Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky Lab, ESET and Bitdefender without the need to buy licenses separately from each vendor.

Consolidated scan results are presented in a single, user-friendly interface, giving you full visibility of threats in your network. And the sooner you find these hazards, the faster you can fix them.

Comprehensive Coverage without Compromising Privacy

PT Multiscanner is a locally-hosted solution that works from within the enterprise’s security perimeter; ensuring confidential data is never exposed to third parties. Use it to tackle a range of security challenges:

• Monitor network traffic in real time
• Protect email traffic and limit social engineering attacks
• Analyze file storage to detect infected files and block the spread of viruses and malware
• Safeguard web portals to prevent data leakage, maintain uptime and protect end-users from malware
• Perform standalone malware checks on individual files uploaded to a locally-hosted portal
• Simplify incident investigation with retrospective analysis that tracks suspect files through your infrastructure

An optional independent verification feature allows organizations to double-check scan results with VirusTotal. All private data is anonymized and hashed before upload to the cloud.

PT Multiscanner’s flexible APIs make it easy to integrate with existing systems including mail or file servers, proxy servers, IPS/IDS, monitoring and network forensic tools."

[Soulbound]

Its a good concept, but not without its flaws. It is already known that even if you combine the signatures of "GIANTS in the Field", unless your solution has good preventive and proactive technology, it is pointless, even on a enterprise level. Also, enterprises whether they are small, medium or high do not like to "test new waters" out of the blue, therefore common Enterprises Solutions are used (Symantec, Kaspersky, Sophos, McAfee) + Email protection/spam filter + good old firewalls from hardware level and onwards.

Nevertheless an interesting concept which was "learnt" from already home solutions, just find it hard that it would take off and take enterprises by storm at all.
