Proprietary Outbreak IntelligenceTM Heuristics Technology Receives Prestigious Honor for Innovation in Managed Security Services
ScanSafe Inc., the global leader in managed Web security, today announced that Info Security Products Guide, a leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named ScanSafe a winner of a 2006 Tomorrow's Technology Today Award.
The award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking network security solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. Outbreak Intelligence, ScanSafe's proactive heuristics technology, was selected by Info Security Products Guide editors in the Managed Security Services category based on its positive impact on security in today's highly sophisticated and blended attack environment.
"We're honored by this award which recognizes how critical it is to identify and block threats in real-time," said Eldar Tuvey, co-founder and CEO, ScanSafe. "Outbreak Intelligence provides unparalleled protection based on threat intelligence gleaned from the more than five billion Web requests ScanSafe processes each month. This means that ScanSafe can protect its customers from threats that appear before a signature is available--a critical capability considering that, on average, 10 percent to 15 percent of all malware blocked each month falls into this non-signature category."
Outbreak Intelligence is delivered through scalable, high-performance, Internet-level processing centers. ScanSafe's patent-pending processing ensures that its customers can perform URL filtering and malware scanning in real-time, so users experience virtually no latency.
ScanSafe's portfolio of fully managed services--all powered by Outbreak Intelligence--includes Web Virus Scanning, Web Filtering, Spyware Screening and IM Control. These unique services protect businesses from the evolving threat of Web-borne viruses, adware and spyware by filtering inbound and outbound Web traffic "in the cloud†before threats can harm corporate networks and compromise proprietary data. In addition, ScanSafe provides businesses with easy-to-use tools to create, enforce and monitor Web and IM use policy and protect their networks from unwanted content.
