Webwasher®, by Secure Computing, provides best-of-breed content security, including URL Filter to prevent inappropriate Web content, and Anti-Spam combining multiple spam detection methods for highest accuracy. Anti-Virus, augmented by Proactive Security technology, protects against day-zero and blended threats. Companies with existing gateway anti-virus solutions can deploy Content Protection to protect against these threats. SSL Scanner prevents malicious content hidden in SSL encrypted traffic from accessing the network. With Instant Message Filter, unsanctioned usage and related security risks of IM and P2P are no longer an issue. All products can be managed from a single Web GUI and Content Reporter offers enterprise-class reporting on all Webwasher products and most gateway cache appliances and firewalls.
Webwasher delivers a comprehensive security solution for all aspects of Web 2.0 traffic. When a user is requesting content from a Web 2.0 application, he is implicitly asking for active content to be delivered to, and executed by, his computer. Furthermore, the same user is required to provide content to the Web 2.0 application, making the security concerns both inbound and outbound in nature.
Webwasher provides immediate protection for user-initiated Web traffic against threats such as malware hidden in blended content or hidden in encrypted SSL traffic. Webwasher analyzes the intent of all content entering the network – even new web pages before they have content and before they are categorized. It also protects organizations from outbound threats such as potential loss of confidential information that can leak out on all key Web protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP).
Key features and benefits of Webwasher include:
- Reputation-based URL filtering and advanced protection
- Protection against targeted malware attacks hidden in web traffic
- Enforcement of security policy on encrypted SSL traffic
- High performance proxy for enterprise deployments
- Rich graphical reporting on all appliance functions
- Appliances “sized to fit” the needs of organizations large and small
