Network security has improved so Internet threats cant access a network externally. Instead, threats are evolving social engineering ways of enticing people to access dangerous sites themselves, masking the threat as a legitimate request. Establish a new baseline for network security by filtering the content that passes over the network a filtering option like LivePrism hosted security.
LivePrism hosted security filters Internet communication: email, instant messaging, and web browsing. Hosted security simplifies filtering and makes it easy to implement:
|
|
|
|
- Single configuration interface for setting up filters and generating reports
- Overlapping group profiles, managing all groups together and applying groups flexibly to users for appropriate coverage
- Management for multiple domains
- Dependable filtering with redundant, load-balanced servers
- Automatic virus scanning for email, IM chats, and web pages
Without a hosted security setup on a network, email messages can be sent with having dangerous attachments like viruses or just large files which increase server loads or scams and links to undesirable sites. Even simple advertisements use up bandwidth and time. LivePrism hosted security layers spam filters to address different kinds of spam. Messages blocked by the hosted security system are immediately quarantined before reaching your employees:
- Reputation filter Rates messages on the odds of being spam from the message text.
- Spam filter Industry-leading database of millions of spam fingerprints.
- Blacklists Allows administrators to set manual lists of domains to block, like store advertisements or mailing lists.
- Policy filters Restricts attachments by size or file type.
- Content filters Allows admin-defined rules for words or phrases to block in message text.
Instant messaging enables fast communication at the expense of security holes from malware, spim (spam for IM), and offensive content. LivePrism hosted security monitors and logs every chat session for every configured user for major applications like Yahoo, AOL Instant Messenger, and Windows Messenger:
- Content filters using defined keywords to control profanity, inappropriate content, and confidential information.
- Optionally blocking file transfers.
- Spim (spam for instant messaging) identification.
The key to controlling web content is identifying and limiting the kind of sites that users can access. LivePrism hosted security filters every HTTP request through iGuard, a 100% human-reviewed URL database. iGuard classifies individual web pages by the kind of content on the page, so hosted security web filtering is simple to implement by blocking 11 categories of content. Hosted security web filtering allows blacklisting for further control over filtering.
