McAfee SaaS Web Protection

Comprehensive cloud-based web security for a safe, secure network

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee SaaS Web Protection offers exceptional web security through a reliable, hands-free Security-as-a-Service deployment model. It’s an effective way to keep your company connected while taking charge of online security. With no hardware to install, SaaS Web Protection is easy to implement. Simply redirect your web traffic to our load-balanced data centers, where it is scanned with our state-of-the-art security technologies to provide comprehensive protection. Near-zero latency, industry-leading uptime, and enterprise-class scalability ensure the performance and reliability you need to secure even the most distributed environments. If you already have on-premises web filtering, our service seamlessly adds additional layers of protection, including the highest rated anti-malware engine, and secures branch offices and mobile users.

Complete inbound and outbound protection — Traffic that violates your Internet-use policies is blocked before it can enter your network. Permitted traffic is analyzed to provide immediate protection against malware and other exploits.

Security for Web 2.0 traffic — SaaS Web Protection uses sophisticated technologies to analyze the nature, intent, and behavior of a web page’s active content. This deep analysis proactively protects against unknown malware, blended threats, phishing sites, and targeted attacks.

Enhanced security powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence — McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) is a comprehensive cloud-based threat intelligence service. Already integrated into McAfee security products, it works in real time, 24 hours a day, to protect customers against cyberthreats across all vectors — file, web, message, and network. McAfee GTI offers the broadest threat data, most robust data correlation, and most complete product integration in the industry. McAfee’s GTI network allows enabled products to evaluate threats on multiple vectors in real time, leading to faster identification of threats and higher capture rates. SaaS Web Protection also uses the McAfee GTI web categorization services to identify sites hosting undesirable content.

Unmatched web filtering — With 100 categories to choose from, our web filtering provides flexibility along with accuracy and security. Pair our categories with your unique user communities to set policies against offensive, undesired, and unproductive web use.

Easy integration with other McAfee products — Combine SaaS Web Protection with McAfee SaaS Email Protection and McAfee SaaS Email Archiving to defend against blended online threats and to meet your growing email storage and compliance needs. For the ultimate in flexibility, McAfee Web Protection offers the control of an onsite solution, the ease of management associated with Security-as-a-Service, or the option of hybrid deployments.
