Sophos

Security through control - brilliantly simple
Sophos believes in security through control. We offer complete protection and control to business, education and government organizations - defending against known and unknown malware, spyware, intrusions, unwanted applications, spam, and policy abuse, and providing comprehensive network access control (NAC).

Web Security and Control

Sophos Web Security and Control blocks spyware, viruses, phishing, malware and unwanted applications at the gateway and enables comprehensive web access control for safe, productive web browsing.

Features

• Our unique bi-directional traffic scanning approach filters outbound requests and active content for signs of malicious intent. This enforces acceptable use policies and identifies and blocks malware and unwanted applications from entering the network through the web browser.
• Keeping you ahead of the latest threats with Sophos Genotype® Protection - tuned to detect variants and families and large categories of malware. It uses pre-execution scanning to determine the functionality of the code, and the behaviour it is likely to exhibit, without allowing the code to run.
• Comprehensive policy management enables organisations to protect against the productivity, legal liability, and bandwidth risks of the internet, combining powerful flexibility with rich functionality:
• Easy reporting and control of user activity, policy compliance and overall performance provides greater insight and control over web traffic. The easy to use web-based management console presents all vital system statistics on a single dashboard, and time-based policies enable administrators to define web browsing based on the time of day.
• Reducing administrative burden with over 50 on-board monitors to verify hardware, software, traffic, and updates are all operating to required standards. If a monitor identifies an anomaly, Sophos will contact customers directly.
• Billions of web pages are analysed by our global network of threat detection labs, uncovering thousands of new malicious URLs every day. We update Sophos appliances with protection against these new and emerging threats every 5 minutes.
