Sophos virtualizes Secure Web Gateway Protection
Sophos has announced the availability of Sophos Virtual Web Appliances providing web protection, a streamlined management experience, and broad deployment flexibility in virtual environments. The new Virtual Web Appliances can be set up in minutes, bringing the company's hardware security capabilities to businesses of any size with ease.
Sophos provides web protection with a three-stage filter, which combines URL reputation filtering, advanced real-time malware scanning with behavioral analysis, and content control to guard against the latest threats. Sophos appliances also include advanced capabilities such as HTTPS scanning, dynamic anonymizing proxy blocking, and call home detection to cover essential blind-spots.
"Organizations are increasingly looking to squeeze more out of less by further leveraging their investment in virtualization, but simply implementing virtualized versions of the same maintenance-heavy applications only helps to a limited extent. Our Virtual Web Appliance allows IT departments to not only leverage all the benefits of virtualization, but also those of a managed service, all the while keeping their data on-premise and preserving complete control," said Chris Kraft, Vice-President, Product Management, Sophos.
Trials are available free of charge and licensing is simple, based on a per-user, per-year basis with no additional charges for the number of virtual servers.
