Description:
With the advent of blogs, wikis, social networking, RSS feeds, and other interactive applications, the Internet has evolved into Web 2.0. And enterprises are taking advantage of these innovative capabilities to do business in more efficient, collaborative ways.
Yet at the same time, threats have multiplied in the Web 2.0 realm. What were once simple viruses have morphed into blended threats, spyware, and targeted attacks that reactive security solutions alone—such as signature-based anti-virus and category-only URL filtering—can’t block.
Enter McAfee Web Gateway—the #1-rated anti-malware solution for Web 2.0 and zero-day threats. For user-initiated web requests, Web Gateway first enforces an organization’s Internet use policy. For all allowed traffic, it then uses local and global techniques to analyze the nature and intent of all content and active code entering the network via requested web pages, providing immediate protection against malware and other hidden threats. And unlike basic packet inspection techniques, McAfee Web Gateway can even perform deep examination of SSL traffic to protect against malicious code that has been disguised via encryption.
The comprehensive McAfee Web Gateway solution comprises:
Proxy/cache
Category and reputation-based web filtering
Anti-malware
McAfee Anti-Virus
Anti-spyware
SSL scanning
Data leakage protection
