The threat protection and web filtering capabilities of the
EdgeXOS appliance are powered by Webroot and provide real-time
threat protection and a host of best of breed features and
enterprise class capabilities to secure the network from cloud-based
attacks.
By integrating with the Webroot filtering engine the EdgeXOS
platform is able to improve security, performance, and reliability
for organizations of all shapes and sizes which are using cloud-based
services. The process used by the EdgeXOS platform to provide
this monitoring and security is as follows:
- User Initiates Internet Session
- EdgeXOS Intercepts The Request
- Initial Site Checking Is Performed
- User Requests Are Accelerated As They Are Forwarded
For Scanning
- Clean Responses Are Prioritized & Redirected Back To
The User
The entire express forwarding, scanning, and response takes
less than several msecs. During this time the Internet content
requested is filtered through eight layers of checking, including
URL checking, anti-virus, anti-phishing, anti-spyware/malware,
custom rules and reporting, all while the EdgeXOS platform is
ensuring accelerated connectivity through WAN bonding
and 99.999& uptime through automated multi-link redundancy.
The research center ensures that the latest spyware, malware,
viruses are found quickly and immediately added to the threat
protection filters. Due to the nature of the EdgeXOS's real-time
security engine, any new threats found are immediately blocked,
as no software updates or downloads are required. This real-time
updating is what makes this solution one of the best on the
market.
Detailed Web Usage & Threat Reporting
With the EdgeXOS platform scanning and redirecting requests
to the Webroot filter engine a host of reporting analysis can
be made available to the network administrator.
Search Response Modification
Search that come back can be modified in real-time so that the
end-user can see which sites would be blocked and which "might"
be blocked and are placed in the "coached" category for further
checking, all traffic is logged.
Time of Day / Category Controls
Determine which categories apply and a what times during the
day or which days of the week. The network administrator has
full control over how web access is granted.
Service Management / Keyword Tracking
Manage company Internet use and security policies via an intuitive
web-based management console. Administrators can securely access
a powerful rules engine to facilitate user, group and account
level access policies. A real-time Web traffic summary dashboard
displays company Web site access by category (12 main and 96
sub-categories) and popular search terms. The desktop Web proxy
allows for seamless authentication into the service for mobile
and on-site users, and it can be automatically updated to the
latest version.
Real-Time Logging & Reporting
Real-time logs display which sites and downloads users have
attempted to access and whether or not they were allowed. With
logs accessible for 90 days, administrators can access the historical
information they need to generate key metrics. Detailed reports
can be run ad-hoc or scheduled, allowing companies to accurately
monitor Internet use by viewing graphs on Web traffic trends,
top blocked URLs, blocked malware, bandwidth use and more. Scheduled
reports can be set up to be distributed via email to a user,
or a list of users, and can contain up to 100 separate charts
for maximum visibility into company and user Internet use.
