ScanSafe Web Security

Overview:

As the Internet transforms from a static resource to a utility platform enabling two-way communications, malicious threats have increased in volume and shifted their focus toward the Web. Hackers are exploiting the vulnerabilities of an open and dynamic Web to distribute their malware rather than creating their own malicious websites. Web malware infection from reputable websites that have been compromised is now not only a relaity, but is now the  preferred route to infect victims. This change has made traditional methods of control such as anti-virus less effective and requires an alternative approach to security.

Security policy can be created based on categories, content, file types, schedules, and quotas to suit your organization.
