Secure Computing Launches 'SWAT'

Secure Computing has introduced a new ‘Secure Web 2.0 Anti-Threat’ initiative for protecting organisations from Web 2.0-related threats carried in Web and messaging protocols. The ‘SWAT’ initiative will provide informative research, tools, and solutions vital for companies evaluating, or re-evaluating, their approach to Web and messaging security.

According to Atri Chatterjee, senior vice president, Secure Computing, “Most organisations are not adequately protected; their users are insufficiently trained on using these technologies; and they are spending large sums of money recovering from attacks. Our initiative aims to provide information and resources that help organisations understand the evolving threat environment and take steps to proactively protect themselves.”

Secure Computing has identified the following capabilities as essential for protecting against existing and future threats when conducting business in the evolving Web environment: proactive reputation-based Web and messaging filtering for all domains; anti-malware protection utilising local ‘intent-based’ analysis of code to protect against unknown threats; data leakage protection on all key Web and messaging protocols; security aware proxies and caches; design for layering of defenses with minimal number of secured devices; and robust management and audit reporting tools for all Web and messaging protocols, services and solutions including filtering, malware, caching, etc.
