Secure Web (Webwasher)
Security challenges in a Web 2.0 world
Organisations
can do more over the Web today than ever before. As use of the Web continues
to grow and evolve with adoption of Web
2.0 applications, virus
outbreaks and other forms of Web-borne threats known as “malware” continue
to grow as well. Are you adequately protected?
Widely deployed reactive security solutions based
on a negative security model of blocking “known bad” behavior
and content (such as signature-based anti-virus and category-only URL filtering),
while providing vital security,
were not designed to combat malicious software code or cleverly blended threats,
hidden inside seemingly good HTTP or HTTPS traffic. Furthermore, today’s
malware attacks are rarely Web wide, rather they are targeted at individual
organisations. While organizations need the Web, they need to be protected
from Web-related attacks targeted at them.
The adoption of Web 2.0 applications by the enterprise
requires a security solution for Web 2.0. Secure Computing has taken a fresh
look at today’s
Web security needs and has solved this growing problem: Secure Web (Webwasher)
line of security appliances.
Secure Web (Webwasher) Solutions
Secure Web (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.
Secure Web (Webwasher) provides 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).
