The number of security threats introduced by web traffic
has reached epidemic proportions. More than 1 billion new
web pages are added every day, a staggering tribute to the
success of Web 2.0 and the popularity of user-generated
content. This content explosion, combined with rapid content
churn—more than 30 percent of the domains change on an
annual basis—has created a vast “dark web”. Traditional
gateway defenses are proving to be inadequate against a
variety of web-based malware, leaving corporate networks
exposed to the inherent danger posed by these threats. In
addition to the security risks introduced by web-based
malware and spyware, web traffic also exposes an
organization to compliance and productivity risks introduced
by inappropriate usage of the web within an organization
protected by legacy URL filtering solutions.
The Cisco-IronPort S-Series web security appliance is the
industry's first and only secure web gateway to combine next
generation Web Usage Controls, reputation filtering, malware
filtering and data security on a single platform to address
these risks. Leveraging Cisco SIO and global threat
correlation technology help to increase the intelligence and
speed of Cisco IronPort appliances. This advanced technology
enables organizations to improve their security and
transparently protect users from the latest Internet
threats.
