CONTENT SECURITY AND WEB FILTERING
In today’s business environment organizations rely increasingly on the Internet for access to information and resources. Businesses, schools and government agencies provide their employees, students and partners with access not only to internal networks and the Web.
While instant access to information over the Internet is critical, it introduces incredible risk to networks and data. Every day, new external threats such as viruses, worms, Trojans, phishing attacks and spyware cause serious financial damage to companies through data deletion, loss of productivity and bandwidth consumption. The opportunity to connect to Web sites
that contain information and images that are objectionable or even illegal can cause internal threats that leave organizations vulnerable to legal liabilities and unwanted security risks.
Additionally, the use of instant messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications compete for employees’ time and can result in tremendous losses in productivity.
The SonicWALL® Content Security Manager (CSM) Series integrates real-time gateway antivirus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention and content filtering to deliver maximum network protection from today’s sophisticated Internet threats. Combining dynamic threat management capabilities with precise control over Internet usage in an affordable, appliance-based solution, SonicWALL CSM enhances network security, mitigates legal liabilities and improves employee productivity.
Built on SonicWALL’s high-performance deep packet inspection architecture, SonicWALL CSM provides businesses, schools, libraries and government agencies with a powerful tool to block external threats such as viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, keyloggers, phishing and malicious mobile code (MMC) before they can infect the network. At the same time, CSM includes granular controls that enable network administrators to control internal threats by managing access to Web sites containing inappropriate, unproductive and potentially illegal Web content such as pornography, shopping and gambling.
