Anti-virus, anti-spyware and URL filtering


Anti-virus
What it does: The solution helps you detect viruses and other program code that embed themselves in a file or memory and then infect other files and memory areas, and run without authorization via your Internet browser application.

Why you need it: The security threat from the Web is increasing — in large part because it's become increasingly harder for attackers to target e-mail. While many companies focus on desktop protection as their main line of defense, IBM Express Managed Security Services for Web security – anti-virus is designed to offer a more proactive approach to this problem. The service is designed to help you detect viruses in user requests for Web pages or other content. Based upon your specific customer profile instructions, the service helps deny access to restricted Web pages or other prohibited content before the infected Web pages or content can get embedded in your machines and launch potentially devastating attacks against your systems.

How it works:
  • Directs your inbound and outbound HTTP traffic to the service
  • Provides scanning of Web traffic against known virus definitions
  • Helps you guard against new and undiscovered vulnerabilities using advanced analytics
  • Forwards "clean" Web traffic to the end user
Why use IBM: IBM's technology is designed to proactively detect previously unknown viruses, in contrast to many other IT security solutions that depend on lists of existing virus signatures. Updates are continually and automatically performed across the network. In the event of a new outbreak, updates are automatically applied, helping to provide zero-hour protection from even the most advanced forms of malware.
