SAN JOSE, CA, June 9, 2008-Secure Computing Corporation, a leading enterprise gateway security company, today announced availability of Secure Web Protection Service-the industry's first software-as-a-service (SaaS) Web security solution providing reputation-based protection from malware and other Web-borne threats. The new hosted service offers customers the Web security protection they need through a reliable, hassle-free SaaS deployment option. With no applications or hardware to install or deploy, the service provides organizations with immediate and reliable network protection. The service is available now for Secure Computing customers and new United States-based customers, and will be rolled out worldwide throughout the remainder of 2008.

Until now, companies have been forced to install multiple stand-alone applications or gateway appliances that combine various functions to achieve a truly comprehensive level of security. While organizations need the protection, many don't have the internal staff, budget, or equipment space to maintain and support additional solutions or to explore alternative deployment options. The new Secure Web Protection Service is based on Secure Computing's award-winning Secure Web (previously known as Webwasher®) technology and addresses all of the key business issues surrounding Internet use in the workplace: security, organizational compliance, and policy control.

Secure Web Protection Service includes the following: Reputation-based filtering: Secure Computing has set a new standard for proactive detection through our industry-leading reputation system, TrustedSource. Relying on extensive knowledge of Internet entities and the constantly changing global threat landscape, the TrustedSource network enhances Web filtering by identifying potentially malicious behavior and enabling organizations to block these threats in real-time. Web filtering: By controlling Web access and enforcing Internet use policy, organizations can keep Web surfing distractions at bay and increase productivity, reduce legal liability, preserve bandwidth for business-related activities, and enhance Web security. Anti-Malware/Spyware protection: Unlike traditional security solutions that rely only on the known viruses or signatures, Secure's Anti-Malware protection uses several proactive, intent-based filters to stop today's constantly changing Web 2.0 threats. Informative reports and dashboards: Informative reports and snapshots provide insight into how each business is using the Web and what threats have been de-railed via the Secure Web Protection Service. Flexible policy manager: The flexible policy manager allows organizations to implement specialized Web policies that work best with the needs and demands of each business. Organizations can select the categories to control and even determine which time of day those policies will be enforced, enhancing organizational productivity and reducing legal liability.
