High Performance “On-Proxy” URL Filtering Solutions for
the Enterprise
Countless Internet-based distractions compete for employee
time in the workplace. Non-work related activities including
online games, Internet shopping, stock trading, Internet radio,
personal Web mail and MP3 downloads lure users away from company
work and expose the company to spyware and other viral threats.
Now, more that ever, risks and threats originate from inside
the network. Organizations need to increase productivity by
preventing inappropriate content from being available in the
work environment.
The ProxySG and Webwasher enable organizations to manage,
secure and accelerate Web-based content. Blue Coat integrates
scalability, performance and Web content protection with a high
quality URL database. The Blue Coat solution allows organizations
to effectively extend URL filtering beyond traditional site
blocking through the following components:
- On-Proxy Filtering – A comprehensive database
that has organized millions of URLs into common categories
that can be selected for blocking access to URLs
- Performance platform – A proxy appliance provides
abundant policy controls wrapped in optimized hardware and
a custom operating system to give today’s organizations
a proven high performance option for gaining visibility
and control over their employee’s Web communications.
- Deep Content Inspection – URL filtering is not
enough for today’s Internet content challenges. For example,
some Web requests are for music, news, and Internet radio.
Once a protocol is identified, granular and global access
policies can be deployed with ease on the ProxySG. At the
core of the Blue Coat Content Filtering solution are Enterprise
Policy Controls that extend the functionality of standalone
URL filtering by adding content inspection and native proxy
functionality for the most popular Web protocols.
- Reporting and User Identification – Associating
the exact user with Web browsing behavior is a key requirement
for enterprise filtering and reporting. Customers need to
positively identify a user who has accessed or has attempted
to access a given Web site or download material from the
Internet.
ProxySG and Webwasher enable organizations to:
- Achieve up to a 10X performance gain by running the
list “on-proxy”
- Leverage URL Filtering for Web content threat protection
with unique ProxySG Enterprise Controls
- Simplify installation, management and administration
of URL filtering with an appliance solution
- Obtain comprehensive visibility and reporting on Web
access throughout the organization
- Conserve bandwidth resources by reducing non-work related
Web browsing and downloads
- Improve user productivity by restricting user access
to inappropriate Web content
- Implement Web access policies based on any combination
of users, groups, time of day, location, network address,
user agent, and other attributes to meet unique business
requirements
- Enable authentication through existing security infrastructures
including LDAP (Active Directory, eDirectory), RADIUS and
NTLM
- Utilize the most common policy deployments. Refer to
