More and more businesses, schools, government agencies
and libraries are connecting to the Internet to meet
their organizational and educational goals. In doing so,
they are faced with the need to control access to
inappropriate or objectionable Web sites. Without that
control, businesses risk productivity losses, liability
exposure and misallocation of bandwidth due to
non-productive Web surfing. The next generation of
security threats has arrived - Gateway-level malicious
code attacks, P2P, Instant Messaging, Spyware and
Unauthorized HTTP tunneling. Unfortunately, the vast
majority of existing Internet security solutions fails
to inspect and counter these new threats.
ARMOR
Computer Systems has an integrated proactive content
security solution, using a new technology that can block
the following application level threats:
-
Gateway-level (TCP/IP) malicious code attacks
-
P2P (Peer to Peer) file-sharing
-
Instant Messengers such as ICQ, MSN, AOL, and Yahoo!
Messengers
-
Adware/spyware components found in many "free" and
commercial software
-
Unauthorized HTTP tunneling
Some of the technical benefits of
ARMOR
technology include: Real-time filtering of various
malicious Internet content as it enters the
organization.
-
Operation that is similar to active IDS (Intrusion
Detection Systems), inspecting all content in
transit, while remaining transparent to end users.
-
Easy deployment and management.
-
Allowing the search engine to examine all traffic at
the gateway, analyze the content of the passing
packets, and block traffic that is deemed malicious,
inappropriate or otherwise restricted
