URL filtering is old technology and not enough.

The days of static brochure-ware on the Web and manual URL filtering databases are over. Today’s Web is an integrated mix of interesting technologies that open the door to a multitude of security threats. The same things we get excited about happening on the Web are the very same things leaving a gaping hole in enterprise security. There are several fundamental technology shifts happening on the Web that make traditional URL filtering a thing of the past.

That said, the Web is a serious threat to Internet users and corporate networks, and traditional URL filters can’t keep up. In fact, Gartner recommends that companies use URL filtering renewals as an opportunity to upgrade to secure Web gateways (like Purewire) that combine URL filtering, inbound and outbound Web malware protection, data leak prevention and granular Web application controls.

Our Web Security as a Service (SaaS), helps you balance the need to protect sensitive information, enable access to dynamic Web 2.0 functionality, and control bandwidth. What’s more, SaaS-based Web security solutions offer double the benefits by keeping threats out of the network, extending protection to all of your users, providing instant access to updates, requiring little to no maintenance, and offering no upfront costs and predictable pricing with cost savings of up to 40%.

The S3 DataSafe Web Security Service (powered by Purewire), is deployed as a SaaS-based secure Web gateway that sits between a company’s network and the Internet to protect the users as they surf the Web. Purewire inspects outbound Web traffic for safety and compliance, and analyzes Web site response traffic for malicious programs and untrustworthy users. Purewire offers flexible deployment options to protect users browsing the Web, no matter where they are or how they access the Web.
