Web Malware Scanning
Why Web Malware Scanning?
- Proactive blocking of Web malware programs before they reach your network
- Protection from zero-hour threats
- Reduce patching and updates
- Eliminate downtime and remediation of infected desktops
The Internet today has evolved significantly from what it once was. Thanks to the dynamic nature of Web 2.0 applications and user-contributed content, it grows bigger by the minute. While most malware in the past was distributed via email, more recently the Web has been the primary attack vector used by malware authors to distribute malicious code.
Even seemingly innocent Web pages which employees may access for legitimate purposes can introduce malware into a network. Malware is being inserted on web pages via insecure ad servers, compromised hosting networks, user-contributed content, and even through third-party widgets, commonly found on many legitimate sites.
Using a legacy solution like URL filtering to defend against malware is like reading yesterday's newspaper to find the current price of your favorite stock; it cannot keep pace with today's web threat environment.
ScanSafe’s Web Malware Scanning service transcends legacy solutions by using reputation and behavior analyses and vast amounts of daily Web data to scan all Web requests in real-time, rather than relying solely on static URL lists.
Web Malware Scanning eliminates all types of harmful Web malware, including spyware, viruses and zero-hour threats before they can enter and infect your network.
With dynamic, multi-layered protection from ScanSafe Web Malware Scanning, you’re guarded against any and all emerging Web-borne threats.
