Symantec Web Security protects HTTP/FTP traffic
with scalable, high-performance, one–time
scanning using leading antivirus and content filtering
technologies. It maximizes employee productivity
and network performance by blocking traffic to inappropriate,
non-business-related web sites and screening out
web-borne malicious code attacks. And it is the
only solution that integrates list-based and heuristic,
context-sensitive analyses in a single-vendor solution
for protecting the web gateway from viruses and
unsuitable content.
Symantec Web Security is tightly integrated antivirus
and content filtering solution. Symantec researches,
develops, integrates, and supports its own international
URL filtering lists as well as a variety of market-leading
protection technologies. Symantec's NAVEX™
modular scanning engine detects new virus classes
without having to uninstall existing software, redeploys
new software, or reboots the system. Symantec Striker™,
Bloodhound™, and LiveUpdate™ provide
real-time, multilevel, and uninterrupted protection
against malicious code attacks. Plus, Symantec's
patented, multilingual Dynamic Document Review™
content-analysis technology analyzes word relationships
to block access to inappropriate web content.
Centralized multi-server policy management and
secure, built-in support for external directory
services, including LDAP and NT Users/Groups, provide
simple, flexible administration, policy enforcement,
and reporting for multiple users, groups, and servers.
Symantec Web Security monitors, logs, enables auditing,
and provides automated alerting tools. It also improves
network throughput by reducing overall web-based
traffic, which enhances firewall and network reliability
and security. Symantec Web Security is supported
by Symantec Security Response, the world's leading
antivirus and Internet security research and response
organization.
