High performance, Real-time Virus Scanning of Web Content

New viruses, spyware, Trojans, ‘bots, worms, and other malware increasingly use the Web browser to invade organizations’ PCs. Profit-motivated hackers exploit HTTP and HTTPS because these are essentially allowed protocols for most organizations, and permitted by firewalls. This is the weak spot in most security plans. To make matters worse, newer malware often uses root kits so difficult to remove that administrators are forced to erase the hard drive and start over. To prevent these increasing costs and headaches, malware must never get to the PCs where it could execute.

Virus Scanning at the Internet access point plays a critical role in network security by removing harmful content at the security perimeter—before it enters and infects the network. Just as organizations deployed virus scanning on corporate email systems to secure SMTP-based services, there is a need to deploy virus and malware scanning solutions to protect against new HTTP and HTTPS threats that utilize Web-based services.
