Social networks, cloud applications, blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, and content-sharing sites have become essential business tools for enterprise users—and IT organisations are struggling to make them safely accessible from inside and outside the corporate environment. A cornerstone of this effort is the secure web gateway, a traffic inspection solution that scans inbound and outbound web traffic to find and block hidden threats. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are working just as hard to exploit the growing volume of enterprise web traffic, and their attacks are ever more stealthy, intelligent, targeted, and costly. Inevitably, attacks slip past conventional gateway defences.
Fundamental web security
Flexible deployment
Get high-performance web security through an on-premises appliance that can be deployed as dedicated hardware or a virtual machine.
Secure inbound and outbound traffic
Enforce internet-use policies, analyse the nature and intent of content and active code entering the network, and use DLP technology to scan outbound traffic.
