The service delivers comprehensive security for all aspects of Web 2.0 traffic. It enforces your organization’s Internet use policy by automatically applying access rules to all policy-controlled web traffic. Traffic that violates your policy is blocked before it can enter your network. And for allowed traffic, McAfee Web Protection Service uses sophisticated techniques to analyze the nature and intent of all content and active code on the requested web pages—providing immediate protection against malware and other hidden threats.
Through the powerful combination of both reputation- and category-based filtering, McAfee Web Protection Service detects unknown and zero-day threats:
• McAfee has set a new standard for proactive detection through TrustedSource™, our industry-leading global reputation system. TrustedSource accumulates data from more than 10,000 sensors located in more than 82 countries around the world, creating a profile of all Internet activity across multiple protocols. It detects deviations from expected behavior and generates a reputation score that characterizes each host’s behavior.
• With more than 90 categories to choose from and the added security provided through TrustedSource reputation scores, the web filtering you get with McAfee Web Protection Service is unmatched in coverage, accuracy, and security.
System Requirements:
McAfee Web Protection Service is delivered as a service. There are no system requirements; simply redirect your web traffic through the service.
