14 DAY TRIAL // The Secure Computing Corporation, a company that delivers enterprise gateway security, announced this Tuesday the release of a new version of Webwasher Web gateway security solution. As the company states it, Webwasher is the only Web gateway security solution that integrates caching and security to deliver bandwidth savings and reduced latency without compromising security.
"Today's bi-directional Web 2.0 environment continually introduces new and unknown threats", said IDC Research Manager Brian Burke. "Through the use of popular Web 2.0 technologies and applications, unknown threats can enter networks through seemingly legitimate Web sites and proprietary information can exit a company with the click of a mouse. For these reasons, Web gateway security should be a priority for any corporation working in a Web 2.0 environment."
"Wide adoption of Web 2.0 applications, the increasing number of Web-based attacks, and growing use of SSL have all driven the need for Web security and data leakage protection for Web traffic", said Tim Roddy, director of product marketing for Secure Computing. "What we're delivering with Webwasher is the ability for companies to operate in a Web 2.0 world while meeting these threats head on."
Webwasher comes with tons of new features, out of which I could mention: SecureCache, Anti-Malware Engine for Web threats, Reputation-based Filtering (TrustedSource powered), Secure Administration to meet Audit and Compliance Requirements, Webwasher SSL Scanner and Data Leakage Protection. I think that their names speak pretty much for themselves, but just in case you want to get more details on these, visit the vendor's website. Pricing starts at about $4.000 - get more info here. Do note that this is an enterprise intended product, thus the price.
As for Secure Computing, they're a trustworthy company, since more than half of Fortune 50 and Fortune 500 are part of their global customers. I'm not telling you that their products are the best or that they're the best to buy from, but you should take them into consideration, if you're thinking about enterprise security.
