Description:

 McAfee SaaS Web Protection offers exceptional web security through a reliable, hands-free Security-as-a-Service deployment model. There's no more easy or effective way to keep your company connected while taking charge of online security.

With no hardware or software to install, SaaS Web Protection is speedy and simple to implement. When you redirect your web traffic to our load-balanced data centers, the traffic is scanned with state-of-the-art security technologies. Near-zero latency, industry-leading uptime, and enterprise-class scalability ensure the performance and reliability you need to secure even the most demanding and distributed environments. If you already have on-premises web filtering, our service is a good way to add anti-malware or secure branch offices and mobile users.

Our SaaS Web Protection secures all aspects of Web 2.0 traffic. It enforces your organization's Internet use policy by automatically applying access rules to all policy-controlled web traffic. Traffic that violates your policy is blocked before it can enter your network.

For permitted traffic, SaaS Web Protection uses sophisticated techniques to analyze the nature, intent, and behavior of a web page's active content. This deep analysis lets us proactively protect against unknown malware, blended threats, phishing sites, and targeted attacks. We can also strip out objectionable or regulated content, such as pornography.

Since websites and content change frequently, traditional static URL blocking isn't enough. The McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network collects real-time data from 100 million sensors and correlates activities across key threat vectors, including email, web, vulnerabilities, and host and network intrusions. More than 400 dedicated threat researchers at McAfee Labs™ develop advanced analytics and reputation services to infer risk and immediately act to protect you.

Categories can be paired with your unique user communities to set policies against offensive, undesired, and unproductive use of the web. With 100 categories to choose from, our web filtering is unmatched in flexibility, accuracy, and security. Web-based dashboards allow easy monitoring, tuning, and reporting for easy control over inappropriate Internet use that saps productivity and can present legal liability.

Combine McAfee SaaS Web Protection with McAfee SaaS Email Protection and McAfee SaaS Email Archiving for comprehensive protection against blended online threats and to support growing email storage and compliance needs.
