Enterprise Security Solutions
Secure Computing has long been regarded as the “gold standard” in enterprise firewall technology. Our award-winning products protect some of the most mission-critical networks and applications in the world. As these network environments have evolved with the growth of the Internet, we have added extensive capabilities in the areas of Web and messaging application security as well as identity and access management. Addressing the fundamental issues of application security has required a new approach which is embodied in our Enterprise Security portfolio solutions listed below.
TrustedSource™ - Global Intelligence to Protect Your Organization
TrustedSource technology is the most precise and comprehensive Internet host reputation system in the world, and a cornerstone of our solutions. TrustedSource uses data collected from over 7000 sensors worldwide to assign a reputation “score” to each sender encountered. This score is incorporated into Secure Computing products to enable them to quickly and accurately reject unwanted traffic.
Secure Web Solutions
Secure Computing offers a complete portfolio of Secure Web appliances and products which protect enterprises of all sizes from malware, data leakage, and Internet misuse, and ensure policy enforcement, regulatory compliance, and a productive application environment. Through our TrustedSource technology, we are able to profile in real-time literally millions of entities connected to the Internet worldwide and provide up-to-the minute host behavior analysis to create a “reputation score” which can be used to determine whether a connection to the Enterprise network should be allowed to occur. We also employ the most sophisticated heuristic and signature-based techniques for stopping malware as well as patented content analysis software for stopping data leakage.
