Threat Protection

Antivirus, Antispyware and Anti phishing

The Web Security Service scans all HTTP and FTP over HTTP requests for malware in the cloud, blocking threats before they ever reach a company’s network. Best-of-breed antivirus protection guarantees defence against 100% of known virus threats, and multiple zero-hour heuristic filters protect against new and unknown virus variants. Antispyware protection is powered by the industry’s leading antispyware engine, Webroot Spy Sweeper, which protects over 10 million desktops worldwide. Anti phishing detection uses advanced heuristics to identify phishing sites in real-time, ensuring sensitive personal and corporate data remains secure. For complete security, downloaded JavaScript and shell code is inspected for malicious content/actions in real-time, preventing end-users from becoming infected.

NEW! Vulnerability Scanning and Spyware Detection

Reduce risk by identifying holes in your security before attackers do. Exclusively offered by the Web Security Service, this powerful feature eliminates the need to purchase and manage a separate vulnerability scanner. You can scan endpoints directly from Webroot’s Desktop Web Proxy (DWP) to identify known system vulnerabilities including operating systems, browser versions, and other installed software, as well as spyware infections. View results within the Management Portal to facilitate remediation.

Webroot provides a unique “Scan Ahead” technology that examines all search engine queries and returns colour-coded search page results based on the requestor’s Internet access policy. This feature not only helps enforce Internet use policy, but it also proactively mitigates Internet threats and harmful content. In addition to Scan Ahead, inappropriate thumbnail images are blocked from search engine results by enforcing the Safe Search feature in search engines, protecting users from exposure to inappropriate content.

Fast Browsing with Minimal Latency

Maintain a fast browsing experience and ensure a seamless Internet experience for your users.  Webroot’s distributed architecture minimises latency by maintaining multi-tenant, fully redundant data centres around the globe.  Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) automatically routes Web traffic through the nearest datacenter, ensuring rapid response time. Unique Web content download acceleration and proprietary high-performance proxies further improve performance and ensure immediate policy compliance.
