Symantec Launches Integrated Antivirus and Content Filtering Solutions With Centralised Management of Multiple Servers.
Symantec Web Security 3.0 Protects Web Traffic With High-Performance,
Integrated Virus Scanning and Web Content Filtering at the Gateway
SYDNEY --NSW - April 10, 2003 -- Symantec Corporation, the world leader
in Internet security, today announced Symantec Web Security 3.0, now
featuring centralised management of multiple servers. Symantec Web Security
is a high-performance, integrated gateway solution that provides Symantec's
industry-leading virus protection and web filtering for web-based traffic
(HTTP and FTP).
Symantec Web Security's centralised multi-server policy management eases
administrative burden. Changes made to the web filtering and virus scanning
policies on a Symantec Web Security server are automatically applied to all
other Symantec Web Security servers in that network. The newly modified
policy or filtering can be set for a user, group or the entire system.
Symantec Web Security is a low latency, high-performance solution that meets
the needs of both administrators and users.
"By eliminating unwanted content and malicious code at the gateway, Symantec
Web Security, secures and protects the enterprise network," said John
Donovan, managing director, Symantec Australia and New Zealand.
"Enterprises, academic institutions and government agencies now have access
to a solution that provides antivirus protection and manages Internet usage
without impacting network performance."
Symantec Web Security is the only single-vendor, integrated, single-scan
antivirus and content filtering solution available on the market. By
leveraging the integration of antivirus and content filtering, Symantec Web
Security provides organisations with comprehensive protection against
malicious code, including blended threats.
Symantec Web Security 3.0 offers enterprise customers a seamless solution to
address malware threats and content filtering needs. Symantec Web Security
3.0 continues to provide the following features and functions:
- Protection from malicious code by leveraging Symantec's
cross-platform NAVEX scan engine technology and the Digital Immune System,
Symantec's unique technology that automates the submission of potential
threats and automatically delivers cures to problem machines or the entire
enterprise.
- Flexible policy enforcement on a per-user and per-group basis; local
control; and automated alerting capabilities.
- List-based URL filtering in 31 comprehensive categories, as well as
Symantec's patented heuristic technology, Dynamic Document Review (DDR), a
multi-lingual, context-sensitive content analysis technology.
- Comprehensive reporting which automatically provides IT
administrators with both virus and content filtering information that can be
exported into one complete report.
- Integrated, single-scan anti-virus and web filtering.
In order to provide complete protection of a network, Symantec Web Security
should be part of an overall security strategy that includes protection at
every tier of the network. Symantec Web Security 3.0, which runs on
Solaris, Windows NT and Windows 2000, is backed by an industry-leading team
of dedicated security experts at Symantec Security Response. Symantec
