Email and Web Scanning

Criminals are now the primary reason systems are compromised, whether for identity theft, sending spam, phishing, or extortion. They attack unsuspecting targets using increasingly sophisticated worms and viruses: Polymorphic and metamorphic worms that evade anti-virus software, worms that act as vulnerability assessment tools, and worms that use search engines like Google for reconnaissance.  Most damaging are worms that don't advertise their presence when they infect a system.

These malicious attacks can jeopardize an organization's business continuity, regulatory compliance, reputation and brand. Equally at risk is the hard-earned trust an organization builds with customers, partners and suppliers, if communications with them are unsecured and content uncontrolled. To protect against these risks, organizations are creating acceptable-use policies and seeking solutions to enforce them.
