Offline updating of Cisco C300V Email Security Appliance - Sophos Anti-Virus definitions

[Andrew.Jeanmonod]

Is it possible to update the Sophos Anti-Virus definitions, IronPort Anti-Spam rules, Outbreak Filters rules etc offline?

The C300V does not have an internet connection hence I need to download the updates manually and then place them on a local server for downloading byt the C300V appliace.

This is possible for the AsyncOS upgrades but I have having dificaulties in doing so for the Anti-Virus etc.

Thanks

I wish I had better news.  The process USED to be available in the old days - where end-customer is required to complexity isolate the appliance(s) from the Internet/network connections.  But, due to changes and security polices, and the process itself being deemed un-supportable, we no longer offer this as a capability on AsyncOS.  So – for now, only upgrades can be ported and used against a local upgrade server.  No updates for services.
