Secure Web (Webwasher)
Secure Web 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. You'll get immediate protection for user-initiated Web traffic against threats such as malware hidden in blended content or hidden in encrypted SSL traffic. Secure Web 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).
#1 Rated Malware Protection
Secure Web Anti-Malware, using proactive intent analysis, filters objectionable content from Web traffic. By scanning a Web page’s active content
and understanding its intent or predicted behavior, Secure Web is able to proactively
protect against spyware, day-zero threats, blended threats, and targeted attacks.
Anti-virus solutions that solely rely on signature updates or heuristics cannot provide this level of protection. Secure Web Anti-Malware combines this proactive threat protection against unknown malware with a comprehensive signature-based anti-virus engine for known malware
threats. This combination provides the industry’s best defense against malware as rated by independent studies*. Secure Web has repeatedly earned top scores for accurately detecting and blocking more than 99% of malware.
Reputation-Based Security
Secure Computing has set a new standard for proactive detection through our industry-leading reputation system, TrustedSource. Relying on extensive knowledge of Internet entities and the constantly changing global threat landscape, the TrustedSource network identifies potentially malicious behavior and enables organizations to block these threats based on an assigned reputation score. TrustedSource’s unrivaled effectiveness is a direct result of Secure Computing’s unique view into enterprise Internet traffic. By accumulating data from over 7000 sensors located in 50 countries, TrustedSource creates a profile of all activity on the Internet and then utilizes this profile to watch for deviations from expected behavior. The system then generates a reputation score based on the behavior of the host. This score is incorporated into Secure Web and enables organizations to enhance security by quickly and accurately rejecting unwanted traffic.
Eliminate the Blind Spot of Encrypted Applications
Encrypted protocols are the other new playground for hackers today because they know most firewalls pass this traffic straight through without any inspection. Not so with Secure Firewall, which decrypts and filters traffic in SSH, SFTP, SCP, and SSL/HTTPS, so this traffic won’t become surprise attacks waiting to happen when they reach your internal servers.
TrustedSource Web Database
Web filtering offered by Secure Web delivers the best protection available through the powerful combination of both reputation- and category-based filtering. The TrustedSource Web Database is the repository for all of the global Internet data gathered by Secure Computing. Reputation scores and category placement are determined from this rich data source. With more than 90 categories to choose from and the added security provided through reputation scores, the coverage, accuracy, and security provided by Web filtering with Secure Web is unmatched.
Protection for Encrypted Traffic
SSL traffic (HTTPS) is widely seen as the new back door through an organization’s security barrier and must be secured the same way traditional HTTP traffic is secured. Secure Web is the first security product available that fully integrates malware detection, SSL inspection, and certificate validation. There is no need to route traffic to a separate box for malware inspection, as Secure Web SSL Scanner scans all SSL traffic on the appliance maintaining the complete security, integrity, and privacy of the SSL transaction.
Secure Web Cache
Secure Web Cache uses a revolutionary new design that employs proactive scanning and security reputation prior to delivering a cached object to an end-user. This provides much more efficient virus and malware scanning while dramatically reducing the amount of disk storage required compared to traditional caching solutions.
Data Leakage Protection (DLP)
Secure Web protects organizations from outbound threats such as loss of confidential information that can leak out on key Web protocols. Secure Web provides this security by performing unique outbound scanning of content—even content transmitted via SSL. This makes Secure Web an important tool in an organization’s arsenal to prevent intellectual property loss, comply with regulatory requirements, and provide reporting for compliance as well as forensics in the event of leakage. For organizations with advanced DLP requirements, Secure Web is the perfect platform to implement third-party DLP engines.
