MessageLabs Hosted Web Control (URL Filtering)

There are a lot of useful resources on the web that employees need to be able to do their jobs, but there are also many sites they should not be using during work hours.

The Web Control service helps you to enforce acceptable use of the Internet by employees. Administrators can block access to web sites based on over 50 categories, restrict access by time (e.g. only during lunch hours) and block bandwidth heavy media files.

Policies can be created at group and individual levels and are synchronized through Active Directory to make sure they are always up to date. Comprehensive reporting facilities allow you to see web activity and report on usage within your organization.

The policies of Web Security Services can also be extended to remote workers connected to the internet whilst outside the corporate network. The need to enforce acceptable use policies to roaming users has become increasingly important as users are more mobile and research has shown they are more likely to visit inappropriate sites when outside the corporate network.

MessageLabs Hosted Web Protect (Anti-Spyware, AntiVirus)

As defenses against email borne malware have become increasingly effective, criminal gangs are turning to the web to gain access to corporate networks. MessageLabs Web Protect services operate at the Internet level intercepting viruses, spyware and other web-borne threats before they get anywhere near your network.

MessageLabs processes over 1 billion web requests per day, using the same powerful multi-layered technology as the email services to stop known, new and converged malware threats. Because we use our advanced Skeptic™ engine to scan email and web traffic, if it spots a new piece of malicious code in email, it will automatically update the Web Protect service and stop it there too.

MessageLabs' powerful, load balanced, global network ensures that all web pages are scanned in real time with no noticeable delay to the user.

The protection of Web Security Services can also be extended to remote workers connected to the internet whilst outside the corporate network. The Roaming User feature has become increasingly important as users are more mobile so there is an increased risk of them bringing malware back into the network on infected machines.

• Real-time scanning and analysis of web traffic
• Combined protection from Spyware, viruses and other types of malware at the Internet level
• Skeptic™ Technology layered over multiple commercial scanning engines for increased threat protection
• Converged Threat Analysis, takes recent threat information from email and IM services and applies it to the Web Security Service
• Roaming User support extends threat protection to users when outside the corporate network
• Extensive reporting - dashboard, summary, detailed and scheduled reporting
• Straightforward administrator interface and set-up, minimizing complexity and overhead
• 100% SLA against known viruses and SLAs covering service availability and latency
• Quick and easy deployment as the fully managed service requires no software or hardware installation
