Making you a managed web security services provider
Web access is essential to your customers, but the productivity benefits are often outweighed by threats such as spyware, trojans, web-borne viruses and other browser exploits. Employees downloading or sending illegal/illicit content can also expose your customers to issues ranging from embarrasment to legal action.
webFORTRESS is a managed web security service sitting between your customer’s network and the Web, constantly monitoring HTTP and related traffic for any sign of browser-based threats, download of inappropriate content or transmission of information contravening your customer's content filtering policy.
Spyware screening
Malicious code writers are increasingly focused on gaining financial advantage. This has been most evident in the rise of spyware and adware programs, and phishing attacks that use stealth to monitor user activity, typically for financial benefit.
As stealth programs don’t draw attention to themselves they are able to work unchallenged in the background. Exploits include targeting adverts, to stealing confidential information and passwords. By the time most administrators realise they have a problem with spyware on the network the damage is often already done.
Spyware Screening is a fully managed service that works alongside Web Virus Scanning to deliver enhanced, comprehensive protection against threats that use stealth. These include malicious spyware, nuisance adware, phishing attacks and cookies. Best of breed protection is provided by a layer of proactive real time scanning, and informed by the world’s most accurate and comprehensive threat databases.
Unlike the majority of anti-spyware products that scan desktops for infection, Spyware Screening eliminates threats before they reach and infect your customer’s network.
Web virus scanning
Web browsing has become the favourite target of malicious code writers to compromise your customer’s networks. Three of the top ten security attacks over the last year came from Web threats such as the Nimda worm and Spyware.
At the same time the number of browser vulnerabilities continue to rise, fuelling the growth in zero-day exploits that can infect systems well before patches are available. To defend your network against these evolving web threats requires a proactive solution that guarantees your protection today and tomorrow.
webFORTRESS removes harmful Web viruses at the Internet level, before they reach your network. As a specialist managed service provider, webFORTRESS secures the integrity of your web usage while freeing you from administration, patching and updating tasks.
You can ensure best of breed protection with webFORTRESS’s multi-tier protection model. By combining proactive heuristics with leading reactive scanning, webFORTRESS Virus Scanning has the power to eliminate all known threats, and to identify and block unknown attacks before they reach the network.
