WEBsweeper
WEBsweeper prevents inappropriate information leaving and entering an organization by monitoring HTTP based traffic including Web-based e-mail such as Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail. With a security toolkit consisting of firewalls, anti-virus software and URL blocking alone, companies remain vulnerable to many threats.

WEBsweeper works in tandem with firewall and anti-virus solutions to provide a comprehensive security solution that guards against breaches in confidentiality and other threats such as damage to reputation, lost productivity, pornography, theft of data, legal liability, degradation in service and data corruption.

Why do I need WEBsweeper?
Damage to reputation, lost productivity, breaches in confidentiality, pornography, theft of data, legal liability, degradation in service and data corruption are all issues that organizations need to address when using the Web.

Web transfers are not all downloads. Data may also leave a company, by-passing SMTP e-mail security, via postings to the Web or by Web based e-mail accounts (e.g. Yahoo mail, Hotmail).
WEBsweeper lets you take control of your Web traffic and protect your organization from these dangers.
