High Performance Gateway Appliance Stops Spyware and Web Based Threats

SAN BRUNO, Calif. and PHOENIX, Feb. 6 /-- IronPort Systems Inc., the leader in gateway security, today announced at the DEMO 06 conference the company's latest innovation, the IronPort S-Series Web Security Appliance. This high performance gateway appliance is designed to stop spyware and web-based malware from entering the network, with near zero latency to preserve the end-user Internet browsing experience. The S-Series combines a high-performance security platform with IronPort's exclusive Web Reputation filters and IronPort's breakthrough DVS(TM) (Dynamic Vectoring & Streaming) engine, a new scanning technology that enables multi-vendor signature-based anti-spyware filtering. This high performance appliance addresses the performance and latency concerns of first generation web AV systems, while yielding the industry's highest catch rate against the broadest range of threats.

Spyware Runs Rampant

Spyware has quickly evolved from simple programs used to monitor a user's browsing habits to increasingly malicious applications that steal personal information and sensitive corporate data for financial gain. Today, Spyware is an increasingly worrisome threat. It is considered to be the second-greatest threat to enterprise network security, according to IDC's 2005 Enterprise Security Survey, up from fourth in 2004. This same study concluded that 75% of corporate desktops are infected by spyware and yet less than 10% of corporations have deployed perimeter spyware defenses. The speed and variety of spyware and web-based malware attacks has highlighted need for a robust and secure platform to protect the enterprise network perimeter from such threats. The IronPort S-Series does just that -- it is the industry's most comprehensive perimeter defense against a broad range of Web-based malware.

"Most corporations have not deployed signature based scanning for their web perimeter because of performance and other issues," said Brian Burke, program manager at IDC. "IronPort's new S-Series Web Security Appliance can help relieve customer's performance concerns."
