Mailprotector’s Web Malware Scanning module provides real time, in the cloud protection from web-borne malware threats. Web browsing is a favorite target of malicious code writers seeking to compromise your network. Browser vulnerabilities continue to rise, fuelling zero-hour exploits which can infect systems before patches or signatures are available. The threat is moving from the inbox to the browser with increasing focus on gaining financial advantage. This is most evident in the rise of spyware attacks which continue to grow across the Internet.
By the time most administrators realize they have a problem, the damage is already done. As a result, organizations are left with the high cost of remediation, lost productivity, and unnecessary network traffic and system instabilities. Increasing browser vulnerabilities, zero-hour threats, and the insertion of malicious code on legitimate sites have made real-time malware scanning essential - simply filtering by URL leaves a large security gap.
Prevention is Better than Cure
We believe that preventing Web malware from reaching your network is a better solution than allowing it to enter and hope your desktop anti-virus software reacts appropriately. Our Web Malware Scanning service eliminates all types of harmful Web malware. Spyware, viruses and zero-hour threats are stopped before they can enter and infect your network. Our service delivers true layered defense through a combination of multiple best-in-class signature scan engines, multiple reputation and behavior analysis engines, automated machine-learning heuristics, and the industry's largest Web data set.
All Web requests are scanned in real-time, in the cloud, rather than solely relying on static URL lists, providing you with dynamic, real-time and multi-layered protection.
Proactive Heuristics
Anti-malware scan engines will protect your network from threats that have been previously identified and documented. But what if your network is one of the first to be attacked? Signature-based scanning alone will not provide the protection you need. ScanSafe has developed Outbreak Intelligence, a proprietary security platform which analyzes URL reputation, traffic behavior, code behavior, and code reputation in addition to signatures to detect unknown, as well as known, malware. Once it has detected unknown malware, Outbreak Intelligence automatically propagates the protection to the scanning layer, where the threat is neutralized before it can reach your network.
