Anti-malware Solutions from SECURE COMPUTING®

Controlling Malware with Secure Computing

Malware, or malicious software, can take many forms, including viruses, Trojans, spyware, and there are dozens of different ways it can get into your network. Secure Computing's comprehensive suite of Secure Web (Webwasher) anti-malware tools ensure that you are protected from every type of threat, from every conceivable location—even from within your own network.

Malicious attacks are often highly targeted, and designed to reap illicit monetary gain. Traditional reactive anti-malware tools such as anti-virus signatures are not enough for targeting these refined attacks; proactive anti-malware protection is also needed to protect the enterprise. Secure Computing's Secure Web (Webwasher) anti-malware tools proactively protect against all types of known and unknown targeted attacks, by combining the feedback of our TrustedSource® technology global reputation system, with the smart behavioral analysis detection capabilities of our signature-based anti-malware engine.

Secure Web (Webwasher) anti-malware technology protects your network from multiple attack types, including viruses, Trojans, spyware, and the loss of confidential information. Secure Web (Webwasher) protects all Web and email traffic. One way attackers are often able to sneak malware into the network is through encrypted content, but this is not a problem with Secure Computing. Secure Web's (Webwasher) anti-malware tools include the SSL Scanner module, which analyzes all encrypted HTTPS traffic for malware before allowing it to enter the network.

While many other anti-malware engines rely exclusively on signature databases, Secure Computing goes beyond that by incorporating several proactive filters, including TrustedSource technology reputation-based filtering that blocks connections to and from sites with poor reputations.

Secure Web (Webwasher) comes with a comprehensive set of content filters to enhance its anti-malware power. Also, its Anti-Virus PreScan filtering technology improves performance, by reducing the load sent to the anti-virus engine.

Because malware takes many forms, anti-malware strategies require multiple layers of protection. Secure Computing's anti-malware strategy integrates every type of tool required, to make sure your network is protected against all types of known and unknown malware.
