ABSTRACT:
Today, though, malware outbreaks are rare and productivity is up. Two years ago, Roundtable began using ScanSafe managed services to control employees' Internet access and ward off spyware and viruses.The threat landscape has shifted in the past few years to Web-based malware, leading companies such as Roundtable to bolster their security with a newer breed of technology, Web security gateways. In much the same way antivirus gateways were overtaken by multifunction secure email gateways, Web security gateways combine several existing technologies and features offered by point solutions. Instead of having separate devices for URL filtering, malicious code filtering, instant messaging and other application controls, Web security gateways provide a single high-performance security gateway that shares a common threat database and policy management framework. The Web security gateway market is a mix of software and appliance vendors as well as managed service providers like ScanSafe.
