Web Gateway Security
Going beyond URL Filtering.
Web Gateway Security: More Critical Than Ever Before.
The Web's ability to accelerate and improve business, education and government has increased exponentially — and so has its risk factor. Network resources and security are susceptible to malware, viruses, bandwidth intensive applications, and unchecked distribution of information via peer-to-peer and instant messaging.
Employee and network productivity are under even more stress with the rapid expansion of Web 2.0 and social networking. In addition to the growing volume of streaming video, live programming and real-time content, Web 2.0 provides a new "frontier" for malicious code and blended threats. And, thanks to mobile computing and anonymous proxies, inappropriate content is even easier to access, bringing along its associated legal and reputation risks. Technology has never been so conflicted.
M86 Security has helped organizations solve this issue for nearly 15 years. From one of the very first Web "filters" to the current M86 Secure Web Gateway, we've developed and pioneered many of today's secure Web access technologies — and we continue to lead that innovation. Our experience has revealed that successful Web security can be measured by four critical objectives:
- Mitigate legal liabilities created by inappropriate Web content
- Increase productivity by removing Internet distractions
- Protect the network from threats delivered by Internet services and applications
- Preserve network resources
Managing these issues requires comprehensive, integrated, reliable, scalable, easy-to-use and cost-effective secure Web gateway solutions—and that's exactly what M86 Security delivers. Our high-performance monitoring, reporting and Internet filtering solutions for the Web gateway are instrumental in protecting today's borderless enterprises, providing enterprise-class, multi-layered, inbound and outbound Web traffic protection and real time, zero-day threat management.
Comprehensive Web security must also successfully deliver the following benefits:
- A SECURE Web gateway, protected in real time
- Compliance and confidentiality enforcement
- Data leakage prevention
- Protection from content-related legal liabilities
- Mitigation of reputation risk
- Increased user and IT staff productivity
- A safer business or learning environment
