Protect Your Network
Today’s dynamic Web 2.0 environment creates significant
security challenges for organisations. In addition to malicious
code and Web-borne viruses entering networks by users simply going
to an infected Web site—often unintentionally, collaborative sites
such as blogs and wikis and other dynamic sites can now pose a security
threat as well. Protection is needed against all forms of today’s
Web-based threats
But a new driver for filtering has emerged:
Web security risks now permeate Web use and these risks have become
the newest, most important driver:
Be proactive in protecting yourself from
today's Web 2.0 threats
The best way for organisations to protect against online threats
is via a layered approach with prevention management as a key component.
Because SmartFilter® manages and controls initial access to the
Web, it is the best solution for preventing users from accessing
risky sites that host Spyware,
phishing scams, spam and other malicious content. Prevention management,
combined with inbound detection and user education, are the three
layers to best practices for online threat management.
Reputation-based filtering + category-based
filtering = best protection available
SmartFilter delivers the best protection available with the powerful
combination of the award-winning SmartFilter Internet Database and
reputation-based filtering powered by TrustedSource™. TrustedSource
reputation network proactively finds, reports, and enables SmartFilter
to block traffic to and from questionable sources. Relying on its
global reputation network and knowledge of Internet entities, the
TrustedSource network identifies potentially malicious behavior
or intentions to distribute malicious code. Secure Computing is
uniquely positioned to provide the best global information intelligence
due to the combination of our core security technologies in the
Web, Network, and Messaging areas and the network of real-time feedback
we receive from worldwide deployments.
SmartFilter delivers many protections against
malicious software creeping into your network
SmartFilter covers key risk areas from anonymisers (services/tools
that allow users to surf anonymously and potentially bypass filters),
hacking, and P2P sites to resource sharing, Phishing and Spyware.
Web 2.0 sites such as interactive web applications, blogs/wikis,
and media sharing are also covered. Check the SmartFilter
database for more information on our extensive coverage and
security protections.
Since new Web threats appear and disappear quickly,
SmartFilter offers real-time security updates and real-time automated
feedback that sends uncategorized URLs to the TrustedSource network
for review. As soon we discover a potential risk, you’ll be protected
since SmartFilter automatically downloads Web site updates. This
benefit is available to all customers as is included in the SmartFilter
all-in-one subscription model.
SmartReporter further augments security by enabling
organizations to view detailed information on Internet traffic and
get real data on their Web traffic questions: where are employees
going, are they repeatedly trying to access blocked sites, are specific
computers trying to transmit data to blocked Spyware sites (backchannel
communication)?
