Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliances

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. Increasing mobility - largely enabled by Web based applications - offers productivity benefits for businesses, as well as flexibility for users, by allowing users to work anywhere, anytime. However, this has also introduced significant security challenges, as organizations must find ways to extend security and policy enforcement to mobile users.

The Cisco IronPort™ S-Series Web Security Appliance is the industry's first and only secure web gateway to combine acceptable-use-policy (AUP) controls, reputation filtering, malware filtering, data security, and application visibility and control on a single platform to address these growing risks. By combining innovative technologies, the Cisco IronPort S-Series helps organizations address the growing challenges of both securing and controlling web traffic whether their employees are tethered to a corporate LAN or sitting in an airport on their smartphones.
