Services in the Cloud
Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware – Every site visited, file downloaded, and webmail opened is thoroughly scanned to detect the latest viruses. The days of maintaining messy and expensive desktop AV software on every machine are over.The cloud is constantly kept up to date with the latest signatures and dynamic counter measures to protect against a growing population of sites infested with spyware.
Advanced Threat Protection – The cloud identifies and blocks next generation threats such as malicious active content, botnets, cross site scripting (XSS), phishing, and other hostile threats thriving in a Web 2.0 world.
Web Access Control – Older or unpatched browsers create large security holes for online hackers and thieves. The Cloud validates that browsers are fully up to date and secure before users are allowed to access the web.
URL Filtering – The cloud classifies and blocks millions of malicious URLs to protect your computers from becoming infected. The good URLs are categorized into over 90 categories so you can apply internet usage policies suited to your business needs.
Web 2.0 Controls –The cloud protects against the new generation of threats spreading across Web 2.0 sites like Facebook and Twitter. As malicious Web 2.0 content is identified, it is immediately blocked across the entire cloud. The cloud also allows companies to limit how much time is spent on Web 2.0 sites to maximize employee productivity.
Bandwidth Control – Video consumes 20 times as much bandwidth as traditional data. The cloud allows companies to specify how much bandwidth each employee can consume- so video, music, and other heavy content do not slow down internet performance for the entire company.
Data Loss Prevention – The cloud scans all outbound web traffic to ensure confidential data does not leave the company. Credit cards, social security numbers, and many other pieces of sensitive data can be identified.
Unified Policy – The cloud allows you to set internet access policies for all users. Do as little as protecting them from malicious content, or as much as restricting which user, can access what content, at what time, and for how long.
Unified Reporting – Get simple yet comprehensive reports on all corporate web activity. You can review sites visited, time spent on-line, infected users, and malicious content blocked
