Small enterprises face the same web challenges as enterprise datacenters. The ProxySG 400 Series provides the same visibility and control features found in our enterprise-grade ProxySG 8000 Series appliances. In forward proxy mode the ProxySG filters web browser requests and responses with on-proxy URL list support and content controls, plus provides spyware prevention, WebAV, IM controls, P2P file sharing controls, streaming media controls, phishing attack unmasking, and bandwidth management.

The ProxyAV™ 400 & 2000 Series enables organizations to scan for viruses, worms, spyware and trojans entering through Web-based backdoors including:

• Personal Web email accounts where a majority of viruses and worms propagate
• Web spam or email spam which unknowingly activate trojan downloads or hidden Spyware
• Browser based file downloads that bypass existing virus scanning defenses

The ProxySG 800 provides a rack mountable proxy appliance for enterprises and large branch offices where Internet access requires visibility and control. Plus acceleration of web-based applications leveraging compression, bandwidth management and integrated caching features in ProxySG. With multiple options available for authentication integration, the ProxySG appliances can be configured to advise, coach and enforce policies for remote sites, groups and individual users.

Centralized policy administration (for multi-appliance deployments) is provided by Blue Coat Director, while Blue Coat Reporter provides log aggregation from appliances for concise reports and analysis of web communications and policy enforcement.

As stealth programs don't draw attention to themselves they are able to work unchallenged in the background. Exploits include targeting adverts, to stealing confidential information and passwords. By the time most administrators realise they have a problem with Spyware on the network the damage is often already done.

Blue Coat ProxySG 8000 Series represent the next generation in high-end proxy appliance platforms. These purpose-built proxy appliances provide total visibility, control and acceleration of Web communications with wire-speed performance. Based on Blue Coat SGOS, a custom, object-based operating system with integrated caching and compression, these proxy appliances leverage existing authentication systems to enable flexible policy enforcement on content, users, applications and protocols.

Recent versions of leading IM clients (e.g. MSN Messenger) include several new features which make firewall based approaches to security difficult. ScanSafe will shortly launch a fully managed, fully automated IM virus scanning solution that eliminates the threat of infection through IM. Our solution enables businesses to take advantage of Instant Messaging as an essential business tool, while enjoying the peace of mind that ScanSafe's guaranteed virus protection offers.

The combination of ProxySG + ProxyAV provides scalable performance with control over transport and Web content with integrated virus scanning. Virus engines and signatures are only one part of Web content control. New worms and trojans are using IM and Web spam to propagate with new techniques always on the horizon. For the first time, Web communication controls and Web virus scanning work together using Blue Coat solutions.
