Web Security

 In 2007, security experts received approximately two million unique malware samples. By the end of 2008, that number is projected to surpass 15 million. Web-based threats are an exponentially growing problem, with new threat types and attack vectors continuously emerging. As a result, IT managers must develop comprehensive security measures which consider the wide array of threats.

The ProSecure™ security appliances use a best-of-breed security architecture to protect business networks from viruses, worms, spyware, Trojans, root kits, key loggers, and other Internet-based threats - without impacting network productivity. All inbound and outbound content over HTTP, HTTPS (secure HTTP), and FTP is inspected for millions of known threats and unknown threats, proactively discovering and blocking threats to the network.

Instrumental to ProSecure™ security appliances, the patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology scans data streams as they enter the network, rather than waiting for the entire communication to download before a scan can be performed. This enables the ProSecure appliance to process large amounts of data quickly, using a single scan to stop malware at the gateway before it infiltrates the network.

ProSecure™ security appliances employ NETGEAR Hybrid In-the-Cloud Distributed Web Analysis technology to filter malicious and unwanted URLs. With a virtually limitless master database of over 100 million URLs located in the cloud divided into 64 categories, data feeds from HTTP connectors deployed "in the cloud" at service providers throughout the world are analyzed and categorized by the NETGEAR URL Classification Center in real-time. The NETGEAR® Distributed Web Analysis URL filtering engine automatically self adapts and categorizes new URLs that have previously been unknown – unlike less effective approaches that force administrators to manually "submit" new entries one by one. The Distributed Web Analysis not only blocks access to unwanted sites, but also blocks sites containing malware and other security threats.
