Enterprise class control in a plug & play appliance

Web 2.0 is here. You can’t simply block the biggest collaborative innovation to come along in years. You need to police it, filter it and apply your polices to it – without spending your entire IT budget.

The Threats:

• Malware – viruses, Trojans and worms, Web 2.0-style
• Data Leaks – loss of confidential, sensitive and legally protected data.
• Nasty content – inappropriate, illegal and unpleasant material.
• Time wasting – on addictive new social networking sites.
• Network degradation – from bandwidth-hungry apps.

It’s time for the next generation of Web security.

“87% of US office workers access Web 2.0 sites each week, with 63% accessing the sites one or more times a day.” - Clearswift/Zoomerang Survey February 2007

Data Leak Prevention
URL filtering alone is not enough to protect your sensitive data. The MIMEsweeper Web Appliance filters all Web traffic to identify and block the transmission of:

Customer data – credit cards, bank account details, purchase histories and personally identifiable information (PII) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) data.

Intellectual Property – e.g., designs, spreadsheets, plans and source code

Corporate intelligence – financial forecasts, budgets, competitive data, marketing plans, etc.

Staff records – salaries, addresses, health records, etc.

Regulated data – which varies by industry and country

Lose this kind of data and your reputation, customers, staff and bottom line are all directly at stake.

Boundary Hygiene Security
The Web may be the most powerful tool in the history of business but, let’s face it, it’s also an open sewer. The MIMEsweeper Web Appliance lets you block the material you don’t want anywhere near your users or network:

Malware – viruses, Trojans and worms coded just for the Web

Greedware – spam, adware and phishing attacks designed to exploit the unwary

Blatant theft – stolen MP3 files, movies, TV shows and software

Productivity (and resource) killers – the 30Mb joke video; the 2-hour Facebook session; the twitter addict, YouTube groupie and Flickr fan… (does anyone actually work any more?)

Just plain filth – Holocaust deniers, pornography, hate speech, racist, sexist, bullying, moronic rants… not the stuff to make you proud of the species…

Increasingly, this noxious torrent is being pumped into the enterprise – via normal Web browsing and Web 2.0 applications ranging from blogging and social networking to wikis, file sharing, collaboration services and peer-to-peer communication.

Want to put a stop to it? We’ve got the security appliance for you.

Web hygiene starts at the boundary of the enterprise, before the undesirable payloads get into your network, servers, storage and desktops.
