Overview

WebMarshal is a 3-in-1 Secure Web Gateway that goes beyond URL filtering to combine technologies for Web Access Control, Data Leakage Prevention and Web Threat Security in to one, easy-to-manage and highly scalable solution.

 

WebMarshal enables you to apply policies for Web security, compliance and acceptable use to Internet activity at your Web gateway – providing safer Web use and a more productive working environment.

 

URL filtering has long been the standard means of managing workplace Web access. But with today’s Internet and Web 2.0 technologies, simply controlling where users can go on the Web is not enough. WebMarshal allows you to also control when users can visit particular types of Websites, what they can access, download or upload and how much time or bandwidth they can spend on a site.

 

WebMarshal goes beyond standard HTTP web traffic to scan secured HTTPS traffic and control Web Applications such as Instant Messaging and Streaming Media.

 

Three in One

 

WebMarshal combines three key functionalities into a single Secure Web Gateway:

  • Web Access Control – management of employee Internet use
  • Web Threat Security – protection against Web-based security threats
  • Data Leakage Prevention – security of confidential or sensitive information

SECURE WEB GATEWAY: THREE SOLUTIONS IN ONE

WEB ACCESS CONTROL

 

Web Access Control is about managing and enforcing acceptable use policies for workplace Web browsing. In the past, organizations have used URL filtering to attempt to control where users can go on the Internet. However, with the rich media content available on the Web today, simply controlling where employees can go is no longer enough.

 

WebMarshal is a real-time Secure Web Gateway solution that goes beyond URL filtering. Not only does it control where on the Web users are allowed to go, but what they can do when they get there. WebMarshal manages which files users can download, how much time users can spend on the Web and how much bandwidth users can consume.

 

WebMarshal offers exceptional functionality for managing employees’ Internet usage, including:

  • A choice of two URL filtering lists containing databases of tens of millions of web sites classified into over 55 categories.
  • Real-time classification of websites allows you to filter websites that are not already in the database. WebMarshal learns as your users browse the Web.
  • Policy-driven control over file downloads by file size, file-type, user permissions and domain.
  • Comprehensive Web application controls such as restricting access to streaming media, P2P and instant messaging.
  • HTTPS content inspection and certification enforcement ensures that users only access correctly authenticated SSL sites and do not expose the organization to malware from supposedly secure websites.
  • Flexible policy enforcement choices to suit your workplace culture, including bandwidth and time quotas, access by time of day, policy reminders and “click to-confirm” access options.
  • Workstation specific policies for controlling website access by computer as well as by user or group.
  • Bandwidth management by domain, user or file downloads.
  • Comprehensive and meaningful reports that identify the most visited websites, top Web users for the organization, itemized bandwidth costs and website access by category.

WEB THREAT SECURITY

 

WebMarshal protects enterprises against inbound threats such as viruses, spyware and other forms of malicious code, as well as phishing attacks. WebMarshal combines high levels of Web Threat Security in a single solution, comprising.

  • Real-time anti-virus and anti-spyware scanning using your choice of four supported virus scanners and two dedicated spyware scanners to identify malicious content before it is accessed or downloaded.
  • Control of restricted file types by their structure and content, enabling businesses to ensure that mislabeled files cannot circumvent security policies.
  • Thorough lexical analysis of websites to identify content that may be harmful to users and your organization.
  • Anti-phishing via URL database classification and integration with specialist SURBL providers.
  • Domain-specific policies to enforce enhanced security procedures for untrusted sites or relax policies for trusted websites (microsoft.com for example).

WebMarshal is not merely concerned with one aspect of Web Threat Security such as viruses or phishing but the security of all content entering or leaving your organization via the Internet. WebMarshal ensures that your organization is protected against the full range of security threats.

 

DATA LEAKAGE PREVENTION

 

The Web presents a large – and often overlooked – back door that can be used to circumvent data leakage prevention policies. WebMarshal closes this back door by preventing confidential or sensitive information being leaked via the Web through, for example, Webmail or blog postings. WebMarshal offers an effective solution for Data Leakage Prevention at the Web gateway that includes:

  • Controlling or blocking access to Webmail accounts and restricting the information and material that users can transmit via Webmail.
  • Analyzing and blocking text containing specific keywords from being uploaded to the Web, either in a Webmail message or as a blog posting.
  • Restricting the types of files that unauthorized users can upload to the Web. Certain file types can be blocked altogether or can only be sent by specified users.
  • Implementing policies by individual user, department, group, or for all users; providing user authentication with NTLM support for Active Directory or Novell Directory Services.
  • Complete content inspection of HTTPS secured Web traffic and flexible management including denying sites with self-signed or invalid certificates.
  • Complete content inspection of HTTPS secured Web traffic and flexible management including denying sites with self-signed or invalid certificates.
